nomination, and shook their heads omi-
nously when asked for their views. AS
when they did could not conceal their dis
appointment or fears. All, however, like
good democrats, expressed the hope that
their predictions would prove false and
that the man whom they have endeavored,
as far as lay In their power, to defeat
would be equally as successful
at the polls as he was at
made that the Hill club follow the example

T. D. Rockwell: "I do not like the ticket"
NJ. A. O'Byrne ESQ.,, said 81 believe
the party made an injudicious and unwise
nomination. hope, as a democrat, to see
Cleveland win, but from present indica-
tions | see no chance. The party missed its
opportunity in not selecting either Whitney
or Boies. No matter how loudly the Tan>
many leaders may proclaim loyalty to
Cleveland, there are thousands of voters in
New York who have got the idea that
Cleveland is not a democrat and no amount
Of persuasion will bring them TO vote for
him."
From a republican standpoint the ticket
is not just what was. wanted, although the
leaders are endeavorihg to make iE appear
that such is not the case.
Collector Z. F. johnson, when asked what
he thought Of the ticket, replied: "Just the
ticket We wanted. Couldn't have been a
better one. 1t suits US exactly. you know"
Capt. M. J. Doyle said: 1--WE have moth
ing to fear. think the nomination of
Cleveland means a walkover for tine repub-
lioans. If you want to win put your money
on Harrison. ! think the solid south will
be broken this year."
William B. Adams said the nomination is
good thing for the republicans. II Harri-
son is elected they will remain in Office. II
Cleveland is elected, why. they will stay
there just the same. II have voted for every
democratic nominee, though, for the past
forty years and see no reason to stop now"
Maj. J. b. Withers says the ticket is a
solid one and he is betting on it.
