man, but have come to regard him az one
of the great men of the present time. He
can go into the next campaign and make q
winning fight. He is the best speech maker
that has ever been in the presidential chair
He is probably stronger in all doubtful
states than Blaine.
E. A. Berry, of Marshsll-It seems proba.
BILE that Harrison will be the nominee and
think we can win with him. His speeches
are great. / would much rather see Blaine
made the Republican candidate, but the cir
cumstances are such that he cannot well
permit the use Of his name.
Thomas M. Carroll, of Mismi-I regard
Blaine as the strongest man we could name,
but have no doubt of Harrison's renomina-
ton. While he would not be as strong in the
west as Blaine, am satisfied we can elect
him. No matter whether they nominate
Cleveland or Hill, the Democrats cannot
carry New York. Harrison will have New
York and will be elected.
Henry Elliston, of Atchison- President
Harrison viii certainly be the nominee.
believe he is the strongest man to be named
There would be considerable enthusiasm fol-
Blaine, but do not believe he would be al
strong as Harrison. That he is brilliant and
able, everyone admits, but it is true that hC
is weak in some sections; he does not have
the confidence of a certain element, and
this, too, is in some of the most critical
states. In Kansas he would poll more votes
than any man that could be named, but any
good Republican could carry Kansas, thai
is if it goes Republican, and il it takes an
Alliance shoot, Blaine nor any other Repub
lican could carry it.
John w. Forney, of Sumner-Harrisor
will be the nominee and ought to be thC
nominee. He is the strongest man we Car
name. His administration has been clear
and wise. think we can say, take all il
all, that it has been most excellent admin
istration and one that the Republicans car
endorse without hesitancy, We need hsv'
no fear about making the fight next yea
for such an administration.
Frank E. Gillett, of Kingman-Blaine i
undoubtedly the choice of the American
people for president. If he is the nomine'
of the Republican party next year he will b
elected. He is stronger to-day than at an!
time in his long public career. But an
satisfied he will not be candidate. Har
rison will be the nominee and feel conf
dent we can win with him.
F. p. Hardness, of Clsy-President Har
rlson will undoubtedly be the Republican
candidate. II will be Harrison agains
Cleveland again. If Blaine would permi
the use of his name he would be the nomi
nee, but don't believe ne will ever be q
candidate for the presidency.
r. r. Hays, of Decentralization will bt
candidate for denomination and l believe
will be the nominee. With Harrison as {
candidate do not see how Blaine cOult
consistently enter the race. l don't think
he wants to be candidate. Harrison'S ad
ministration has been good one and ht
will grow stronger every day. We can cleo
him without trouble.
Charles F. Johnson, of Jefferson-It il
practically settled, it seems to me, that Har
rison will be renominated. That is the only
thing for Republicans to do. He is entitled
to denomination. He has made great
president and can be reelected. There il
no question but he is strong in the east
stronger probably than any other man that
can be named. He is the best speech maker
in America to-day. That is not all; he ID
safe and conservative and is statesman.
NJ. G. Kelley, of Crawford--I hope to SET
