President John w Thomson of the
National Metropolitan Bank was highly
grained at the action I'm st. Louis.
Ihe outright declaration for sound
money, that means an American dollar as
good as gold commercially all the world
over, throws down the gauntlet to the sill
Eerltes and means that the battle between
honest and dishonest money will be fought
in the open by all the people / have every
confidence that the better intelligence of
the public will prevail and our financial
stability be settled satisfactorily for all
time
John w. Mccartney the banker. said
that in his opinion the st. Louis ticket
would win. and that this result in his
Judgment, was not contingent what was
zone at chicago, nor anything that
might happen between now and the cleo
ton.
Representative Mahany of New York said
the ticket was satisfactory to the great
mass of the country, owing TO the fact
that Mckinley stood for the opposite of
that policy which had brought ruin to the
1fvN- Ittr h.
l.. T. Michener, prominent Indiana poll
tlcian, said that the ticket was admirable
and that Gov. Mckinley would prove
popular candidate. His long experience in
public life guaranteed that he would make
a good President. He also considered the
nomination Of Hobart very gratifying to
the business men of the country. as well
as to all classes. He did not believe that
the bolt of the silver men would affect the
election of Mckinley. 1t might lose some
OF the inter-mountain states. but he would
come out victorious in November.
Representative Richardson democrat of
Tennessee. predicted that the bolt of the
silver men would affect the election i'm No
vember. He thought that conditions wer.
SO unsettled that either one or the other
party is likely to run across a Waterloo in
November.
Senator PETER said that the silver men
OF the country must get together by ali
means and agree upon some ticket that
would be satisfactory to all. THE demo-
Gratis. he said. never had such an oppor-
tunlty as the present one to win an cleo
ton. But they must not hope that we the
popuitsts) will run after them" He be-
heved, however. that the democrats would
make mistake. as they had always done
In the past thirty years. He thought that
In their enthusiasm at Chicago they would
forget to give consideration to the other
silver parties and would nominate an old
time democrat on an old-time platform
MY view is that IT would be wise on their
Fart to adopt no platform and make no
nomination until we have met and have had
chance to be heard on a basis of CO.
operation. We meet within ten DAYS or
two weeks of the time set for their con-
vention. They could rrotract their con-
Nention or adjourn it over to St Louis
when we meet If they show that they
are willing to coalesce with Us the terms
can be easily agreed upon and a new party
will spring into life that will sweep the
country"
Senator PETER thought that there was not
a man In the country who combined in SO
l@rge measure as Senator Teller the quail
tiles which fit him for a compromise candi-
date for President. Teller. he thought.
ought to be suitable to the democrats of
the south because he had fought the force
bill He was almost democrat in his pro-
tectionist views. He had never synpa-
thized with Mckinleyism. He would draw
the united silver support.
Representative Shafroth of Colorado said
that he would cast his lot witE Senator Tel
Ter, when he culogized in the highest terms
Mr.. Shafroth said that if Senator Teller
were indorsed by the silver forces Of the
country he would be elected President by
an overwhelming ma ajority. Mckinley will
rot carry single Rocky mountain or Pa
cific state" he said. THE republicans, with
their platform, will lose California, Ore
gon. Nevada. Idaho. Colorado. Montana.
Utah, Washington and the two Dako.as"
EX-CongTessunaa Iohn NJ Langston SAYS
he thinks that under the circumstances
the convention did the wsest thing possi-
BILE in nominating Mckinley, although he
had favored the nomination of Reed He
told Star reporter this afternoon that he
had telegraphed Major Mckinley Offering
his services in the campaign.
There's no reason why my state Vir-
ginia. should not cast its ballot for the
republican candidate. The state has been
republican for ten years, and could ne
put in the republican column should there
be a wise. vigorous campaign. The trou-
ble has been that there has not been any
management, and too much pickering
among the leaders. With none of this
trouble and a good campaign Virginias
vote will be cast for Major Mckinley
