be interviewed in regard to the nomination
of Cleveland. 81 will say this, however"
said Mr.. Curtis, "that regard the nomina-
tion as the wisest one the Democratic party,
could have made and 1 believe that it will
be satisfactory to the Independent voters.
1t was not probable that the Independent
Republicans would formally endorse Cleve-
land, although they would throw their
influence in his favor. They propose to
conduct their campaign upon independent
principles and keep free from entangle-
ments with either party. A conference
would be held about the 22nd of July, prob
ably in this city, when a definite line OF
policy would be decided upon."
Ethan Allen DAILY, also a member of the
independent Republican executive COM
mittee, said that the Independents would
support Cleveland, and predicted that he
would carry New York by large majority.
The feeling in Brooklyn in favor of Cleve-
land, he said, was very strong, particularly
among the young men, and Brooklyn would
give a Democratic majority next fall that
would be unparalleled in the history OF
the city.
Carl Schurz said: 81 am pleased with the
nomination of Governor Cleveland and
shall give him my support; 1 think he is is
the strongest candidate the Democrats could
have nominated, and he will undoubtedly
receive large support outside OF his own
party from independent voters"
Horace E. Deming, chairman of the In
dependent Republican executive committee
and president of the Young Republican
Club of Brooklyn, said that he regarded
CleVeland's nomination as signal triumph
of the better element of the Democratic
party and tribute to the growing lnde-
pendent sentiment throughout the country

land would be able to carry New York
State, as he would undoubtedly receive the
support of the Independent voters in the
Republican party, and his popularity among
the younger men was a Well-establlsh.
ed fact. The opposition of Tammany Hall
to Clevland he did not regard as an injury
to his prospects, but rather as beneficial to
him. ,
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said: "The
nomination of Governor Cleveland is one
of the best, if not the best, that could have
been made. propose to vote for GOV.
ernor Cleveland for the Presidency. You
must remember, however, when l say this
what nv position is. / claim to be an In
dependent member of the Republican party
and as I am not an Office seeker, claim
the right to exercise my judgment, and as
do as I like propose to vote for whom
please. You must remember also that my
remarks only apply to the Presidential
Office Further than that do not care to
90. T am Republican, and as there is to
| be meeting of Independent Republicans
prefer to await their action before decide
what to do. certainly do not propose to
vote for Blaine under any circumstances,
nor can at present state my reasons Tor not
so doing. The matter is simply this: l am
Republican and always have been, but
1 propose to vote for the man whom think
best fitted for the Office, and that man is
Governor Cleveland. I certainly believe he
will be elected"
A New York dispatch says: The addition
of Hendricks name to the Democratic tick
ct was everywhere regarded, both among
Republicans and Democrats, as greatly
strengthening it among the Democrats
The announcement that Hendricks had ac-
cepted the second place on the ticket was
received with great enthusiasm, and the
success of the party in the coming election,
while it had been regarded as almost GER
tain with Cleveland at the helm, is felt now
to be doubly assured. Congressman Adams
said it would receive the support of the
entire Democracy and all the Independent
Republicans. At the Manhattan Club the
members heartily endorsed the ticket. The
feeling everywhere among Democrats was
one of profound satisfaction.
IN BOSTON.
Immediately after the reception OF the
news in Boston CT the nomination of Cleve.
land at Chicago q meeting of the executive
committee of the Independent committee Of
one hundred was held. A meeting ofthe full
committee was arranged to be held early
next week, when definite action will be
! ! taken and the plans completed for the gen.
eral convention or conference of 1ndepen'
dents representing different States. The
executive committee has been in correspon'
dence with the organizations in New York
and elsewhere, and the committee of one
hundred will simply ratify the programme
already outlined. The greatest interest is
displayed in the comments by independents
upon the work at Chicago. Few are found
who do not express qualification at the Sc
lection of Cleveland. When the news was
received at headquarters it was heartily
cheered Many preferred Bayard, regard
ing him as statesman Of national renoWn
but, as a rule, they say now that, consider
ing the fact that he was candidate pu1
forward by Kelly and Butler to head of
Cleveland, because of the attitude of the
New York Governor toward Tammany anC
| the baser wing of the Democratic party, the
choice of Cleveland was most satisfactory.
Winslow Warren, a leading member O.
the Massachusetts Reform Club, expressed
it as his opinion that the Independents al
over the country will ratify Cleveland'S
nomination withouta dissenting voice. He
added: ~ think that this nomination vii
prove acceptable to large number of Re
ppublicans Who would not Vote for any Other
Democrat. I have no doubt that Cleveland
will sweep New York by an overWhelm
ing majority, and think that he can carry
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire" Johr
S. Farlow, president of the club, expressed
similar sentiments. E. B. Hale, of Cam
bridge, who recently resigned his position
in the Republican State Committe, said
II think the Democrats have made good
nomination. do not agree with those who
think it is a weak nomination. The op
position of Butler and Kelly will work both
ways"
Republicans who have not joined the
bolters generally admit that the nomination
is strong one. John F. Andrew, son o1
Governor Andrew, who is prominently
mentioned as a Republican candidate fol
Congress in the Fifth District, said: 81
think it is an excellent nomination. Mr.
Cleveland is very clean man. | think
the way in which the nomination was
brought about against the opposition OF
Butler and Kelly makes it much stronger
with the mass of thinking people than Il
those two men had supported Cleveland" ;"
NEW ENGLAND GENERALLY.
Democrats in many New England towns
and cities held ratification meetings over the
nominations. In many instances salutes
were fired, bells rung and fireworks display.
ed. The general ralsentimentamong the mem
bersof the party is most favorable to Cleve-
land and Hendricks.
