Cleveland is nv choice, and 1 believe him to
be the choice of the people. A thorough busi-
ness canvass of the West has brought me IN
touch with the sentiment of the people in that
section on this subject and think II an under
estimate to say that seventy five per cent. OF
Western Democrats and Independents are en-
Enthusiastically for Cleveland. l regard Cleveland
as much stronger candidate, the country over,
than Hill. His administration stands second
to none, and he is, in every sense Of the word,
a servant of the people. I think he is much
stronger in New York than Hill. and am salts
| fed that he could carry that State. My second
choice is Gov. Gray. of Indiana.
E. NJ WALLER.
To the first question I say. Cleveland To the
second answer that now regard Hill as the
more availableof the two candidates mentioned.
Ny second choice is Gov. Flower of New York
H. W, RIDDLE,
| lam for Cleveland. l think he would make a
| better run than Hill because of his pronounced
tariff views. My second choice is Boise, of Iowa
j. E. SHARP.
| Cleveland by ali means. He would be far
more available than Hill because his popularity
| is not confined to New York State He is the
choice OF the national Democracy. lily second
choice is Gornian. of Maxyla nd.
Nj. ". PHELPS.
My capdidate2 The qualified democrat who
| can be elected. If one vote would elect, Grover
Cleveland would be next President. But ex-
isting conditions demand geographical change
in politics. If the benefciaries of the govern
ment would permit it just once, give us A P
/ eNeI,a Cow RoiSn
Senator Palmer, Ex Gov. Gray. or our own
Campbell.
| MY first choice is Cleveland, of course, and l
think him a much more available candidate
| than Hill, but it now seems that we must go
outside of New York for our candidate My
| second choice would be Gov Iattison. of Penn

| favor Cleveland above all other candidates
| and think he has the most elements of strength
of any man in the party. would so west oi
New York State in the event of his not being

| G A. MYERS.
| My first choice is Grover Cleveland. He gave
| us model administration, one of the best in
| the history OF this government. He is stronger
| with the people today than he was four years
| ago. He more nearly represents the ideas OF
| true Democratic principles than any other can
| didate before our party. In my opinion his
| nomination means his election prefer Cieve-
land to Hill for the reason that the former is an
advocate Of principle in politics, while the lat
ter is more advocate of policy My second
choice is Boise, of Iowa. with Russell. of Ma
| achusetts, for second place.
| VIM R. ALCoRN,

Regard him as much more available than Hill
My next choice would be Gov. Russell.
j. a. W. MORROW.
| Put me down for Cleveland every time. No
Hill for me. Outside of Cleveland 1 prefer a
FRANK MCTYE.
Cleveland is my first choice think he would
| be much more likely to win than Hill. My next
choice would be James E. Campbell, of Ohio.
n. D. CLARK.
would rather see Grover Cleveland Pr6si-
dent than any other living man. He is my
| ideal of a statesman and Chief Executive. The
purity of his administration is admired by even
the most partisan Republicans. AS between
Hill and Cleveland 1 think the chances would
be all in favor of the la ter doubt very mnch
| the sb lity of Hill to carry New York. and am
very sure he would lose in Indiana, while to
think of is carrying any OF the doubtful States
is out of the question. My second choice ticket
would be Boise and Russell.
DANIEL W. GOSS.
Grover Cleveland is my first choice in respect
to both worth and availability l regard bin
as the strongest candidate we could name be
cause he is so thoroughly intrenched in the
good will of the people. The issue that must be
presented will be best sustained under the
leadership OF the man who first had the courage
to put it before the people. Boies and Russell
would, think, be the next strongest combina-
ton.
LAFAYETTE SMITH
Grover Cleveland first The strongest man
that could be named Favor a Western man
as second choice.
r, D. KELLY.
Grover Cleveland, Ee is the choice of the
people Hill is weak compared to him. Second
choice a western man.
