Senator George Gray-'I think II Is
exceedingly significant OF the impression
that the issues in this campaign have
made upon thoughtful and conscientious
minds. Mr.. MacVeagh is a man Of known
ability and high order OF citizenship
His views are not Influenced by any ex-
pectation Of personal advancement and
are in no way connected with his am
bition. They cannot but make upon the
country decided impression.
Chairman Willard Salisbury, Jr.-"I
think it would be magnificent thing for
Senator Higgins to invite his friend
MacVeagh to come down and
make some speeches here. He
quoted Mr. MacVeagh in his late speech
ia the Opera House. and think IL would
be good thing for the senator to take a
few extracts from the letter and embody
them in his next speech.
Register in Chancery Ferguson-"It
certainly meets with my appreciation. l
am very glad 20 see IT, II shows an in
dependence of character that we do not

such positions of honor IN his party to
write"
