| o'Aoio Vhe h'hI anu only DallOt 1Or
Presidential candidate, that the Repub-
licans would hail the nomination of
Grover Cleveland with joy.
The Harrison ratification meeting, p"
as the Chicago convention was called
by leading Democratic newspaper,
has apparently strengthened the conf
dence of Republicans throughout the
United States in the success of the Re-
publican party next November. Not a
ripple of discomfort appears anywhere
ON the surface. And not sign of en-
thusiasm is discenible anywhere in the
Democratic ranks at the prospect of a
campaign which the Cleveland leaders
say will be a terrific struggle.
The Republican Governors of nearly
score of States, in some of which the
parties are nearly equally divided, send
greeting today to the Republicans of
the East through the New York Press.
This is Republican year. The Gov
I ernors' dispatches to The Press show
that the party is militant and hopeful
everywhere.
Governor Mckinley, of Ohio, says:
The Republicans of Ohio ale united
and confident and will sweep the State.
President Harrisons administration
commends itself to the thoughtful, con-
servervative and patriotic, and will be
a mighty force with the people.
Ohioans will take particular pride in
giving the State by large plurality for
the born Buckeyes, Harrison and Reid.
The Chicago convention, having de-
clared without qualification for free
trade, insures square issue between
the American policy of protection and
the British tariff policy.
The American people can be relied
upon to vote for the patriotic policy
which, with widening opportunities, is
giving to the country the most unex-
pecteu prosperity.
Governor Chase, of Indiana, says: The
Republicans of Indiana were never
more hopeful and confident of vict ry
than today.
Governor Wiley, of Idaho, says: The
nomination of Grover Cleveland is the
best one that could have been made
from Republican standpoint in this
State. 1t gives us a walkover in No
vember. Idaho will roll up her usual
Republican majority this fall. The
State is being thoroughly organized
and we will make an aggressive and
successful campaign.
The well known antagonism of Cleve-
land not only to silver but to the tariff
for protection on lead ores and other
western industries renders him very un-
popular in Idaho. His party will find
him heavy load to carry here. Idaho
may be put down safely in the Repub-
lican column.
Governor Ferry, of Washington, says:
Republicans in this State feel confident
that Harrison will be elected. His
majority in this State will be between
1000 and 10000.
Governor Brown, of Rhode Island,
says: Rhode Island Republicans unami-
mously regard the prospects better than
they were last spring when Mr.. Cleve-
land and the national Democratic party
threw all their influence here and we
made gain over previous years vote.
Stevenson is little known. Harrison
and Reid and the Republican platform
have the confidence of our party and
will have the support of our substantial,
independent mass of people.
Governor Markham, of California,
says: The Republicans of California
are sure to carry the State for Harrison.
Governor Bulkeley, of Connecticut,
says: The Republicans of Connecticut
expect to carry the State for Harrison.
They will fight as Loyalty as they did
four years ago and reverse the results.
Governor Barber, of Wyoming, says:
Wyoming Republicans indorse the NOM
ination of Harrison and Reid. The
Chicago ticket makes them confident
of success at the polls next November.
Governor Humphrey, of Kansas, say s:
The Republicans of Kansas are very
hopeful of victory in November. Our
splendid ticket will secure the votes of
nine tenths of the old soldiers in the
country without regard to their former
political belief.
Governor Merriam, of Minnesota,
says: The nomination of Harrison and
Reid is satisfactory 10 the Republicans
of the North Star State, and Repubh-
can victory is assured, The usual ma
jority may be safely replied upon.
Governor Burke, of North Dakota,
would say that the Republicans look
forward to complete Republican VIC
tory in this new State this fall.
North Dakota will cast her first elec-
toral vote for Harrison and Reid. Mr..
Cleveland s veto while President of pen
sion bills and his retention of Land
Commissioner Sparks in defiance of the
protest or both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will gain his party no votes in
North Dakoto.
Both parties believe that the Sparks
land rulings materially retarded the
growth of this State. The Republicans
