HOW THE PRESIDENTS NAfCHLBSS MES
SAGE WAS RECEIVED
II is Held 10 b Manly, Patriotic and Timely DOeu-
msut and 10 Mean Business Clear
Through.

The one thing talked about more than
any other in Wheeling, Yesterday, was
President Cleveland's message upon the
Fisheries question.
Democrats snd Republicans alike ad-
mired the pluck and patriotism OF the Tx
eeutive, and there were expressions on ali
sides that the ''Kanueks'h should be forced
to come to time and accord to American
fishermen the justice which has so long
been denied to them.
The admiration for the firm and de-
cided stand taken by Mr.. Cleveland was
by no means confined to democrats. The
commendation was not of partisan char
actsr, but rested largely upon the broader
foundation of American citizenship and
patriotic love of country. Nearly every
expression was favorable, and it is safe to
say all would have been that way ifit
had not been for the peculiar position
taken by the Senate in refusing to even
have the message read on the day OF its
delivery to that august body.
Below are some of the expressions oil
sentiment heard by reporters Of the RIG
IsrER:
A. A. Pranzheim-The President al
ways does the right thing st the right
time 1t is high time the ''Ksnucks"
were called down, and if this thing goes
much farther, they will hear from Amer
lea in an unmistakable way.
f. Buckman-If Blaine had done that
ne would have been called lingo Jim. II
vas the right thing to do, but believe
Blaine would have done it long ago.
B. Fisher-It looks TO me like q black
eye for Secretary Bsysrd.
P. B. Dobbins-I kind O. like it, but
yet can't help thinking that tine Sena-
tors, who have been voting right along on
the question, know what they are doing
p. II. MOore-There is no doubt but
that the fishermen have been imposed on
to q great extent, but think the Presi-
dent had enough authority as it WAS. To
20 further ia virtual declaration Of war.
Justice W. II. Dayis-The message OF
the President was great, manly, patriotic
thing to do, and the people OF the country
will uphold it. II is not to be regarded as
political measure, and yet it has taken
the wind out Of the Republican sails very
completely.
Alexander Updegraff-What a manly
thing that message was, just in the ontset
Of political campaign? II shows what a
spunky, patriotic, and thoroughly Ameri-
can President We have. His words will
excite approval in every quarter, and will
bring hest of new friends to his support.
William Ellingbam-The course Of the
President is in striking contrast to that OF
the Senate, and his communication will be
approved throughout the entire country.
George G. Hannan-The President plays
trump card every time. ! think he has
thoroughly demonstrated that he carries
too many guns for his opponents.
y. L. Klmberly-The Senate made big
mistake when it walked up the old man.
| can't understand why q man ike Ed
munds should take the course he did.
George Arkle-The message was the
right thing at the right time.
Denis O'Keffee-When Cleveland gets
left let me know it, will you.
DIR. Gasmire-Admirable! Admirable!
Nothing could be better.
John D. Pendleton-It ia fine docu-
ment. The President has put the Senate
between the devil aud the deep blue sea,
and they are liable to have some difficulty
in getting out of it.
W. T. English-It is q great document.
Just like everything the President does.
John Downs, Jr.-lt was clincher,
sure enough, and the Senate certainly put
their foot in il that time.
Capt. C. L Dayis-Oh, it was grand and
shows very plainly the man Cleveland is.
He never makes mistake. II il had been
December instead of August the Senate
would have handled the treaty in very
different manner.
John Weisgerher--It is just like Presi'
dent Cleveland. Whenever he writes
anything Jon may be sure it can he de-
pended on to hit the mark.
Chas. W. Krieter-It is one of the best
things the President ever did.
