mani don't care whom they nominate,
They can't beat Cleveland.
Postmaster William Lee-As far as
the state of New York is concerned
there is no question about it-Mr. Cleve-
land will carry it. | know very little
about Republican politics. but think
Mr.. Cleveland will carry Indiana easy
enough.
DIR. J. Il. Murphy I don't think Har-
risOn is as strong man as Blaine.
Clerk Oscar B. Hills, of the United
States Circuit Court think the NOM
!nation of Harrison Is a tip-top one.
He's strong man, both intellectually
and politically.
Deputy Clerk Leslie P. Richardson
Pll bet S25 Cleveland is reelected.
Capt. George Hayes-Yes, the nomin-
alton of Harrison is good one; it's the
best ticket for the Democracy to beat
that they could make. Indiana fur
niShed more Democratic soldiers in the
war than any other state, and they will
all vote for Cleveland.
Capt. NJ. j. O'Connor-It was the best
nomination they could make under the
circumstances.
Judge Charles E. Flandrau-My Dem
ocratic opinion is that they would have
done better by nominating Judge
Gresham. Judge Gresham is known
better, and has good record. He
would carry Illinois as well as Indiana.
Matt Koch-I think it is very poor
nomination.
County Auditor M. F. Kain-It is a
very weak nomination.
Capt. j. ID. Wood think it's the
strongest nomination they could have
made, but his name is Dennis all the
same.
Maj. Brackett-I think it's a very
strong nomination, but he is not as
strong and able a man as Sherman.
Clerk of Courts r. Il. O'Connor-Very
weak. They should have indors d
Cleveland.
Deputy B. Armstrong; think Mrs.
Cleveland can beat Harrison without
running Cleveland at all.
NJ. j. Lang-I think he is strong
man and will carry Indiana. [ would
have preferred Blaine, however.
Deputy Register Herman Hageman
Why couldn't they have nominated
Gresham? Harrison would have run
well enough for vice president, but L
hardly think he is heavy enough for the
presidency.
ticket to get skinned.
j. Ham Davidson-lt's good, strong
nomination. l can get out and speak
for Harrison. One thing | want, though,
is to have the candidates on the state
ticket state their position on the liquor
question.
NJ. j. O'Brien-I don't think he is as
strong as Blaine. 1t will lose the Pa
cific coast.
Van r. Humphrey-Harrison is a
good man and will vote for him.
DIR. HOyt-He is a good fellow, but
out OF luck and will be beaten,

Horace Dunne-I don't consider Har-
rlSon strong man.
Dr.. Smith, of Duluth-Harrison is a
great improvement over Sherman.
w. p. Murray-He is as good victim

Indiana.
Judge Parker am a Democrat and
of course, Harrison don't go with me.
q. w. Freeman-A good, strong man,
and he will be elected.
Paul Martin-Cleyeland will knock
him out in the first round.
j. j. Ahern-I think Harrison will
prove soft snap for us.
j. G. Horrigan-We will beat any
one that the Republicans can put against
Cleveland.
r. l.. Gorman-He is the strongest
man in Indiana.
&C. Starkey-Gresham would have
been a better man for the nomination.
J.C. Quinby-I think he will prove
winning card.
w. F. Erwin-We will try to down
him.
Chief Clark-Cleveland will scoop
him badly.
r. c. Libby-Harrison will be beaten
| just as easy as you Shuck peanuts.
S. 5. Murdock-My choice was either
Gresham or Harrison. The nomination
is strong one. If Harrison polls tht
| full party party vote he will be elected
| The platform is a good one, although
don't like the latter part of it. gues
| it will go all right in Minnesota, though
S. owenStein-Harrison will carr,
New York, New Jersey, Indiana ant
| Connecticut.
Col. Robertson-Jay Gonld dictated
| the nomination.
E. J. Hodgson The platform i
atrociOuS.
Gordon E. Gole-I prefer Harrison t
Blaine.
Fred W0odbourne-I had two bet
| against Cleveland being elected.
don't think | will change them. LIE
them stand. All such bets | regard a
! about even.
William L. McGrath-It's very veal
nomination, indeed. The Republican
party cannot carry the Irish vote on tina
ticket. 1t would have had some chanc
with it had Mr.. Blaine been put i'll nom
ination.
Nathan Myriek-1 see nothing tn
matter with 1t. To me it looks all right
d. A. J. Baker-Oh, that nomnatio

stronger candidate.
Oliver DaIrymple-It's a splendi
nomination. and a very strong one il

majority. Harrison has a good wa
record and is backed up by a good al
| eestry. Nothing can be brought agains
him.
Ge orge w. Moore-He is one of tii
