HOW THEY LIKE 1T.
(Continwed from Third Paqs)


splendid ability and absolute integrity and
frankness of Mr.. Cleveland. have radically diff
fered with him on the silver question, and for
these reasonsI have not favored his nomina-
ton. But, having been nominated, shall, Of
course, give to the ticket earnest aud active
support. differ with him On only one ques-
ton, while differ with his competitor on al
most every Cf not every question of national
politics.
viii Mr.. Cleveland receive the votes Of all
do not think there need be any doubt about
Tennessee. am not sufficiently familiar with
the condition Of affairs in the other southern
states to speak for them.
TIE THIRD PARTY.
How about the third party?
With Mr.. Cleveland's nomination the third
party will assume some proportions because Of
the silver question. There il q large alliance
element in Tennessee, but only q minority
of it (and think small minority favor
the third party movement Almost
the entire alliance element however. favor
the free coinage of silver. They perhaps largely
overestimate the beneficial effect Of free coin
age, and Mr.. Cleveland's position in opposition
to free coinage has been pronounced with so
much emphasis that it viii largely affect the
third party element. but not Gin my opiEion) to
an extent that will endanger the electoral vote
of the state.
Senator Sanders of Montana (republican)-
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland will -be ap-
proved in Montana by straight-laced democratic
parflsans almost wholly. II will not lose any en-
thusiasm because of any indifference of the capdi-
date to the material interests Of the state or Of
the region identified with it. Nine-tenths OF
the democrats. however, would have preferred
some other candidate, because the record made
by Mr.. Cleveland when he was President was
not approved by their own party leaders.
They know that whatever NAV have been his
in 1pntn ictr on xvas AN
Indifferent TO the interests of the west. 1t was
hostile in almost every one of the matters which
affected their material welfare. For the
Montana democrats Mr.. German would have
been the idehl candidate. and rs between Cleve-
land and Hill they would have preferred Hill.
think that the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland
will encourage the republicans Of Montana very
much, and they will hope to carry the state
against him by very considerable ma
jority. The entire democratic press hailed
with very intense delight the spirit
and independence of the democratic delegate
In Congress from Montana, who, after the cleo
ton of Mr.. Harrison and just before
the close of Mr.. Clevelands administra-
ton. assailed that administration with
considerable spirit and condemned its short
unanimous democratic commentator, and
they rewarded the delegate by electing him
governor. That was the expression Of their
opinion after four years trial of President
Cleveland. They have, however, short memoir
les, and will declare that they love him. As to
the third party, it is incoherent in Montana,
with no justification for its existence and with
out strength.
Mr.. Henderson Of North Carolina had this to
say: '.The delegates evidently conferred and
picked out the strongest man. Cleveland is
this, because he is the peoples man. If the
democrats can elect any candidate they can
elect Cleveland"
INCLINED TO CHEER.
Mr.. Pendleton Of West Virginia was inclined
to cheer over the nomination ''The voters in
West Virginia" he said, Twill fall over each
other in their efforts to vote for Cleveland. He
is the peoples candidate and will
grow as the canvas advances. The House
is the worst possible place to find out opinions
as shown by the fact that probably majority
of the democrats were opposed to Cleveland's
nomination, whereas the people Of the country
were all for him."
Mr.. Brookshire of Indiana is among the
shouters. Cleveland will carry Indiana" he
said, land New York too. The masses were for
his nomination and will see TO his election. 1
say that Cleveland will carry Indiana because
this year the Australian ballot system will be
used there, and the opportunity for debauch-
cry of the franchise will be wiped out. The
state is naturally democratic by 5000, and with
q clean election it will go that way.
BLACK EYES FOR THE POLITICIANS.
Mr. Lewis Of Mississippi was pleased. "The
nomination Of Harrison and Cleveland" he
said, ''was two black eyes for the politicians.
Cleveland's nomination is especially victory
for the people, and the people will see to it that
he is elected"
Both Mr.. Forney and Mr.. Bankhead of Cali
fornia were.of opinion that Cleveland's nomi
nation meant an increased democratic vote in
Alabama"
Mr.. Goodnight Of Kentucky said: "He is the
strongest man that could have been nominated.
He will poll a very largeindependent vote, while
democrats will support him for the love Of
democracy"
SENATOR HILL WON'T TALK.
Senator Hill was found before 10 o'clock this
morning in his sitting room at the Arlington.
He had been up until nearly O'Clock. but. not
withstanding his lack Of sleep, he appeared to
be fresh, calm and collected. He received the
reporter cordially and appeared to be cheerful
and relieved from the strain which has been
imposed upon him for SO many months,
although he made no pretense Of unnatural
buoyaney. In response to questions as to his
opinion of the action Of the convention and as
to his future course he said that he had decided
to announce to all seekers for information that
he must politely but firmly decline to be inter-
viewed.
SPEAKER CRISP SATISFIED.
Speaker Crisp was o hard man to find after
the House adjourned. When at last cornered
he had this to say: SIT is good platform, a
good ticket and we surely will elect Cleve-
land"
New York democratic Congressman was
"a scarce as a breeze at the Capitol Mr.
Greenleaf was the only one who appeared on
the scene and his interview was short and sweet.
~ have nothing to say" was his beginning and
end
REpURIrcANs CONTENT WITT THr syTuaryoy
Republicans in the House are inclined to feel
extremely well satisfied over the situation.
Mr.. Hit said Cleveland would be easily
beaten.
Mr.. Dalzell thought HARRISON would
be elected by a large majority, and 30
it went with the republicans, who, while
many Of them had good words
to say for Mr.. Cleveland personally were con-
fdent that he was q weaker candidate than four
years ago.
THIRD PARTY MEN.
The members of the third party had also q
disposition to derive comfort from the nemina-
ton Of Mr.. Cleveland. Both Mr.. Watson
and Mr.. Davis were Of opinion that
Cleveland's nomination would greatly
strengthen their party in the south Mr.
Livingston thought the nomination would m
suit in large accession to the third party
in the south.
closest to Washington Mr.. McKaig's utterances
are Of interest. "It IL fine nomination and
We will elect him sure, was his summary.
