DEMOCRATS SPEAK.
Harrison Will Be Surely Defeated
ALI for Cleveland,

General William C. Heppenheimer
said:-"Harrison is the strongest man the
Republicans could nominate. How far
the disaffection of c larkson, Quay and
Platt, the men who are the real workers
for the party will extend. do not know.
With Cleveland, however. 1 think we
will have walkover don't think there
is any question of anyone else"
Colonel e, A. Stevens, who will be
Democratic Elector-at-Large of this State,
said:-"I don't really know much about
the nominations import. but for Demo-
cratic success would much rather that
Blaine had been nominated. think Har-
rison the stronger man. Personally
pbs,v. would prefer fe tSd William nemocpatc Maatac
choice. do not think there is any choice.
There seems to be but one man. according
to the popular cry. Cleveland. He is the
only man, 1t seems, 1t is possible to nom1-
nate ! much prefer him to Hill. l
would like to see either Gray or Carlisle
nominated, but there seems to be no
choice"
Charles B. Thurston, merely said. II
think the nominations are very strong
and that they will command the respect
OF the Republican party"
Ex-Governor Bedle, after pacing his
private office in deep thought for q few
moments said, 81 think that Mr.. Har-
risou's nomination is stronger than
Blaine's would have been. Tn wisest
thing for the Democratic party to do Is to
nominate Cleveland. whose hold upon the
people is such that his success in my
judgment is more than probable. Mr..
Cleveland has been fully tried and found
wanting In no respect"
E. f. G. Young, Presid ent of the First
National Bank Saiu.-hHarrisOn lS
stronger than Blaine. Mr.. Reid will
neither help nor detract from the Repub-
lican vote for the Presidential nominee.
Mr.. Cleveland can beat Mr.. Harrison.
Mr.. Whitney will not accept the Demo-
cratic nomination.
Ex-Judge John Garrick said:-"I am
on the other side of the fence, but think
that the nomination of Mr.. Harrison is
as strong as the Republicans could make.
Harrison / believe will net run rs well in
the East as Mr.. Blaine would, but / be-
lieve that Mr.: Harrison will poll large
vote in the Western states"
Counsellor Otto Crouse:-"While l
think that Harrison's nomina ton Is bet
ter for the Republican party than BlRine's.
I don't think that the policy pursued by
the present administration received the
appreciation of the people two years ago.
don't believe that Harrison can possibly
rup against Cleveland; and think that
the same belief"
Secretary George w. Young, of the New
Jersey Title Guarantee and Trust Com
pany, said, Il think the publican party
did the best it could. l imagine White
law Reiu figures on the ticket because
Reid's name on the ticket will
strengthen it. 1t is an assured fact
that the ticket will not draw away a
single te from the Democratic ranks.
imagine, however, had Mr.. Blaine been
nominated many Democrats would have
voted for him. think the election will
prove an overwh Ginning victory for Dem
ocracy."
Justice Davis, Delegate to the Demo-
cratic National Convention. said:-"I
think the nomination good one for the
Democratic party. The strongest ReDub-
lican was not named. In my estimation,
Sherman would have been hard man TO
beat Cleveland can win, and he will be
my choice in the Convention while there
is chance of his nomination"
Corporation Attorney Minturn, of Ho-
boken: II don't think Harrison the
strongest man the Republicans could have
nominated. The discussions in his own
party are evidence that he is not strong.
know this to be fact among New Jer-
sey republicans. think if Cleveland be
nominated he will undoubtedly win
against Harrison. The strongest man
the Republicans could have nominated
would have been John Sherman or Rob-
ert Lincoln, but Blaine, in my opinion.
would have been stronger than Halri-
son."
City Collector P. H. O'Neill says
'1he Democrats should win in this battle.
If the Republicans mad nominated James
j. Blaine think that their party would
have won, but doubt If Harrison and
Reid will pull through. The votes
prominent features in Presidential
campaign and that is one thing Demo-
cracy will have to contend against. The
Tribune has recently become n union
printing house, hut doubt very much if
the labor men will be fooled by such
move at this critical moment. l antici-
pate seeing Grover Cleveland nominated
and think he will be u victor"
Comptroller George II. Hough hopes
that Grover Cleveland will be nominated.
"If the Democrats head their ticket with
Mr.. Cleveland" said he, the Republican
candidates will not be in the race" Mr..
Charles Esterbrook is confident that any
candidate the Democratic party may
name will defeat Harrison and Reid"
Mayor Stanton, of Hoboken, said.
"Harrison is the best man for the Demo
cratic party's success. There Is
nothing in Harrison to fer
ment Democratic dissatisfaction or
oraW democratic support. ~ blalne
there was some such power. With Cleve-
land who can attract some Republican
support, I think now that our victory is
assured"
Assemblyman Coyle said:-"I doesn't
seem to me to be of much importance
who the Republican nominee is. Our
people is sure of success. 1 believe we
can win hands down In fact l am sure
Harrison heads forlorn hope"
Mayor Simon Kelley, of Weehavken:-
"He will be hard man to beat"
DUTCH COURAGE.
