can Convention.
General Republican Satisfaction.

was noted that among Democrats
there were no signs of pleasure, moth.
ing to evince qualification, and their
faces failed to light up with that hope
which political fate so generally de-
MES them. Among Republicans the
satisfaction was general, and the most
enthusiastic Blaine men, on sober,
second thought, confessed that the
strongest ticket had been made, al
things considered. A few opinions
were caught by a HERALD pencil,
which are in line with many, and
which may be considered fair repre-
sentative ones:
Prestdeat RoSeabergeT: am ex-
cellently pleased. 1t Is, in my judg.
ment. the strongest ticket that could
have been chosen by the convention.
The only work on the stump I ever did
was for Blaine, 80 may be called a
Blaine Republican. But his n0mina-
tion now would have forced the Re
publican party to defensive cam.
paign and would not have been wise.
Hon. Sam Jones: am satisfied. l
was for Blaine because l believed he
was the only man who could carry
New York. But now that good New
York man has been put in second
place 1t is all right and the ticket will
be elected.
REQ. D. d. Wickizsr: 1t is as good
as 1t could have been, though was ex-
pecting a compromise candidate. l
think the position was forced on Blaine
and believe he would have liked to be
let alone. A denomination shows politi-
cal and party stability and is strong
feature that predicts success.
Thomas Terrell: Now we want to
pull off our coats and go to work. II
is good ticket and we can elect 1t.
~. Jones: I wanted Blaine be-
cause want John Lacey to be elected
to congress this fall, and thought
Blaine could get more votes In this dis
trict than Harrison. But We will elect
Lacey anyway, and Harrison too.
ChGS RGLStOn: "If the Democrats
do half the work they should they will
have a clean sweep this fall" but the
face of the young man did not look al
if it was banking much on his words
Jack Campbell: The Republican
ticket makes it easy enough for III
Democrats to elect the next president
if our folks behave themselves.
Ell. Gibbs: Now our folks will g
over to Chicago and nominate CleVe
liant, and it will be campaign with
out enthusiasm on either side.
Henry WetheTeH: 1t suits me. Tht
only thing was afraid of was tina
they would not nominate Harrison.
Henry Hotoard: 1 would have VoteC
for Harrison's grandfather IL I haC
been a year and half older. Now /
I live 1 will vote for Harrison.
F. B. DdUiS: like the ticket. Har
rison Is q good deal harder man to bea
than Blaine would have been.
Judge JOhnsO1l: I was Blaine ma
but am inclined to think they have sc
lected the best ticket. am sure the
have if no bad blood has been stirre
up to divide the party.
Eli HGIOkinS; "The nominees SUI
me first rate"
"As clean and good q ticket as cOul
be nominated" said Manoah Hedg
and it will be as good in November 8
it is in June"

old friend Tommy Davis. of Beacon
"but can take my medicine all righ
and its q good ticket"
Ben McCoy:--Personally 1 am

the strongest that could have bee
nominated, and 1t is one that will wi

W. w. Haskell: l am ,lisappOinte
but the ticket is a good oneI and l a
for it.
/ W. a. Greer: 1t was happy hit al
the very best thing the conventiC
could have done. 1t is strong tick
in every way and win lead to victor
| J. B. BrstoSter: Until three da
ago was q Blaine man and nothiI
else would slit me. 1t may not be
enthusiastic campaign but we W
get there just the same.
Judge Blanchard: 1t is the be
thing for the country. What the Cal
paign may lack in enthusiasm 1t W
make up in actual strength.
John r. Lacey: Mr.. Blaine is We
strong lit Iowa and his NOM natl
would ha We been a good one, but M
Harrison has given US such an ad. nj

Fred 8hGngIe: 1t is the best yC
people co uld have done
L. l.. Hull: Harrison is all rig
for your side but our folks can bel
him.
Dr.. Bra ,0ster: 1t Is splendid. / a
satisfied IL every respect.
IODT. CIGi Il: Wise thing. While IOV
