Press Opinions of Our Republican Lead


| The Evening Wisconsin: President
| Harrison was renomlnated, not because
| he was the best man, but because he
was deemed the most popular and avail
| able candidate, not in one section, but
in every section of the Union. His pop
ularity is widespread and general !;
| therefore he was properly considered
| the strongest candidate. His admnis-
| tration has been clean, pure, patriotic
| and wise and therefore he possesses a
| grand record 10 go before the American
| people for Its approval. He is strong in
| the doubtful states, Just where the Re-
| publican party needs most strength.
| He is strong in New \ ork, Connecticut
Indiana and Michigan. With the cleo
! toral votes of the first three he can be
| elected without the votes of the silver
states, so-called. He is sufficiently
strong on the Pacific Coast 10 carry Cal
| ifornia, Oregon and Washington. We
! think also he will carry Nevada and
| Wyoming. Senator Jones Is warm ad
vocate OF free silver, but he loves the
| Republican party even more, and with
| hia influence Nevada will cast her votes
| for Harrison. With Harrison we have
a good fighting chance Tor West Virginia,
| which has six electoral votes.
