GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.
| New YORK, July ll..-Gcorgc William
Curtis, leader of the Indcpendent-Rc.
publican movement, was found at his
office this afternoon. He said: 81 re.
gard the nomination rs the wiSest one
the Democratic party could have made
and believe it will he satisfactory to the
| Independent voters
| CARL SCHTRX
| said: 81 am pleased with the nomina-
| ton of GOV. Cleveland and shall give
| him my support. | think he is In"
strongest candidate the Democrats
1
doubtcdly receive Il 'arge support out
side OF his own party from the lnde-
pendent voters"
HoRAC" J.. DENIM,
! Chairman of the independent Republi-
can Executive committee, and President
of the Young Republican club, Brook
| lyn, said he regarded Clevcland's nomi-
nation as equal to the triumph of the
better element of the Democratic party
and tribute to the Independent senti-
| ment throughout the country in both
parties. He had no doubt Cleveland
| would be able to carry New York State,
as he would undoubtedly receive the
support of the Independent voters of the
Republican party, and his popularity
among the young men was well estab-
lished. The opposition OF Tammany to
Cleveland he did not regard as any in
jury to his prospect, but rather as ben
eft to him. Tammany's strength, he
said was greatly exaggerated and it was
by no means the important political fac
tor that many people supposed. IF it
was known Tammany was working
against Cleveland it would gain him
votes ali over the State. The Independ-
flucncc in favor Of Cleveland. They
proposed to conduct their campaign
upon Independent principles and keep
from ENHANCEMENT with either party. \
conference would be held on the 22d of
July, probably i'm this city, when n
definite line of policy will be decided
upon.
REV. HENRY WARD BErCHER.
"Thc nomination of Gov. Cleveland is
one of the best, if not the best, that
could have been made. | propose to
vote for Gov. Cleveland for the PreSi
dency. You must remember, however,
when say this what my position is. l
claim to be an independent member of
the Republican party. AS | am not an
office seeker. claim the right to exer
c sc my Judgment as like, and / pro-
pose to vote as | please. You must re-
member, also. that my remarks apply
only to the Presidential Office. Further
than that ! do not care togo. | am Il Re
publican, and as there is to be Il meeting
Ut Independent Republicans, | prefer to
await their action bci re decide what
to do. / certainly do not propose to vote
for Blaine under any circumstances"
At the headquarters of the Natiopal
Republican committee Tonight great
was expressed at tn, nonli
nation of Cleveland.
CHAIRMAN JONES
said he was about the easiest man in the |
party to beat. especially in is StItc
The addition OF iIen-
bricks to the ticket was everywhere re
Democrats, as greatly strengthening il.
Among the Democrats the announce |
ment that Hendricks had accepted the |
second place was received with great en- |
and the success of the party |
in the coming election is felt to be dOubly |
assured.
CONGRESSMAN ADAMS

of the entire Democracy and of all In

SUNSET cox.
WASHINGT ", July lis. S. Cox re-
,eived news of the nomination of Gov.
Cleveland while sitting and chatting
with Senator Vest in the rOtiinda of the
h )tel. He expressed his entire content
with the choice of the convention. Gov.
he said, was man of ability
md one for whom he felt a high per-
sonal regard. The nominee would carry
',aw York as surely as Mcdonald or
.rried Indiana. John Kelly would not
oppose Cleveland, and New York City
would give a large majority for the Dem
,cratic ticket. The platform Cox pro-
lounced one of the finest which his
)urty had ever entered on in campaign.
lie thought he detected IN the tarlil
blank the master-hand of Abram =.
levitt as a consistent revenue reformer,
md said that plank met with his heart'
,st approval and it was exactly whai
'evonue rcfOrmcrs wanted. Another
blank with which he was most earnestly
n accord was that favOring the reserva-
ion of public lands for the use Of actual
and declaring that no more
grants of lands shall be made to corpC-
'atiOis, and taken in the entirety, the
platform was code Of tirst-class Demo-
ratio and progressive thought.
Representative Harmcr regarded the
as an eminently respectable
me. Cleveland, he thought, could carry
lew York State aud the Union. He had
Tot yet given the platform sufficient
tudy to be able to pass an intellige,
opinion upon it, but as far as he could
udge from a cursory reading it was an
lhle document.
SENATOR VEST,
If Missouri, was much pleased with both
he platform ard the nominee selected
q stand upon it. They were equally
excellent. He did not regard
Iohn Kelly's alleged opposition as being
# any serious concern, AMI predicted
hat gentleman would ir the end be
ourd working for the Democratic nom-
ne. Gov. Cleve .anu stood an excellent
