The natural enthusiasm among DEM
ocrats that followed the nomination Of
ex-Congressman Bryan Of Nebraska at
Chicago was not confined to a single
party, but Populists, members OF the
Silver League and fair proportion or
Republicans found the occasion one for
general rejoicing. The following inter-
views give q general idea Of public sem
timent as expressed on the nomination:
A. e. Horton, Republican, am now
over so years old, and up to the present
time have voted for Republican pres
ident. This year shall vote for Bryan,
the nominee Of the Democratic party.
He Ii d man of the people.
Supervisor j. A. Jasper, Democrat
The nominations made at Chicago suit
me splendidly; couldn't have been bet
ter pleased ifM had made the selections
, myself The nominee for president suits
the platform; the platform suits the
man, and both will suit the majority or
American voters on election day.
Jesse Gilmore, Silver League could
not wish for better nominations. Bry-
ans friendship for silver is beyond
question, and as delegate from the
Sau Diego Silver League to the st. Louis
convention, my vote shall go toward
Bryan's Endorsement as our candidate.
He Is the man of the day. and the united
forces of the silver men will elect him
president.
Judge J. F. Kinney, chairman of DEM
ocratic committee-Bryan'sn nomination
assures success for the Democracy. He
will be the next president. 1t Is nomi-
nation that the people, irrespective Of
party, should be enthusiastic over.
G. P. Smith, Republican-At the past
sixteen presidential elections I have
voted the Republican ticket, but this
year I shall vote for w. ]. Bryan, the
Democratic nominee. The money ques-
tion Is the issue of this campaign, and on
the silver platform I'm going to give my
vote for Bryan.
Con Butler Populist-The Democrat
ic party has restored itself to the conf
dence of the people in the nomination
of Bryan for president. BY this nomina-
tion they have shown themselves foot
loose of the gold bugs of Wall street.
and this election will be struggle be-
tween tho money sharks and the people
of America.
James Vernon, Democrat-After the
nomination of Bryan and on an abso-
lutely free silver platform. I am a
more pronounced Democrat than ever.
The issue this campaign is between sill
ver and gold, and the platform adopted
by the Chicago convention proves to me
that still the old party represents the
interests of the people-that they still
recognize that our government is by the
people and for the people.
Eugene de Burn, Republican-My
vote up to the present time has been
cast for a Republican president This
year I shall vote for the man whom
know will do all he can to, give US free
coinage of silver and, at a. ratio of 16 to
1. That man is w. J. Bryan, and I'll
vote for him.
Assessor John P4 Burt, Populist-The
nomination Of Bryan for president suits
me very well, and now want to see our
convention indorse him. Since the NOM
ination of Washington, this is the first
time that the people have had their say
in the selection of presidential candi-
date. We have one in Bryan, and we'll
elect him.
P. S. Leisenring. Democrat am
personally acquainted With Bryan, and
no man ever appeared before the Amer
lean people to ask for their suffrage with
cleaner record, both public and pri-
vate. than he has. He Is the most loyal
exponent Of the silver cause that I
know Of, and is' statesman in every
particular, and by odds the brainiest
young man in America.
II. l.. Boaz, Populist-I now want 70
see our national convention indorse
Bryan. and then the cause for silver Is
won.
r. A. Thomas, Silver League-I don't
know of better candidate to represent
our party than Bryan, and want to see
our convention indorse him.
