A Sentinel Representative Interview
ed Some of Winston's Prominent
Citizens on the Result of the Con-
vention.
We interviewed few of our prom
Trent citizens this week in refer
ence to the nomination of Mr. Cleve-
land and they all lay special stress
upon the honesty of the mar. DIR
Henry t. Bahnson, OF Salem says:
cleveland is the representative ex-
ponent of the great issue of Democ-
racy-tariff reform. He is the cham.
pion of a government for the benefit
of the majority, who forgets self in
terest in his labors for the public
good.
Col. Thos H. Sutton says:
II think the nomination of Mr.
Cleveland the wisest movement the
Democratic party has made this
campaign. He is the central repre-
sentative and great embodiment of
all the vital principles of the party
that are essential to our success. 1t
is upon the lines laid down by Mr..
Cleveland that we must win or not
at all.
Tariff reform is the dividing issue
between the parties and the bold
leadership and courageous utteran-
ces of the ex-President upon this
great underlying question has given
to the country a platform, an issue,
in language clear and strong, and
not to be misunderstood by any.
Write tariff reform upon our banner
and with MIR. Cleveland as our leader
we have a living principle to fight
for, and will win"
Col. Sam'I H. Smith says: every
"true" Democrat that is in favor of
a clean, honest white mans govern
ment will give Mr.. Cleveland their
support"
Mr.. W. W. Wood says: 81 regard
Mr.. Cleveland as the most frank and
square statesman of his day and
time, the leader of thought and men.
If the people can not trust him they
should be unwilling to trust any
man."
Mr. George W. Hinshaw saws: Il
regard him as the strongest man
among the people, stronger than
any other living American and l
believe his election would tend more
to dissipate sectional prejudice than
any other man. His administration
will bring prosperity to the South
greater than she has ever enjoyed
BEFORE
Mr.. Rufus Brown says: 81 regard
him as the greatest living American
and the purest and best statesman,

country's every interest will be care
fully guarded by him.
Mr.. w. A. Blair says: 81 regard
him as an honest, able, strong and
safe man, man who has conviction
and the backbone to stand by them.
The convention has done the best
thing"
Maj. T. J. Brown says: "He will carry
a larger vote than any other man
that could have been nominated, and
that he will be sure to be elected
that he is good man and he will
take great pleasure in supporting
him."
