NEW YORK, Nov. o.-Now that the cleo
tion of Mckinley and Hobart is an accom-
plished fact, the members of the national
Republican committee at these headquar-
ters are resting from their Rrduous work
and are feeling very happy
Expressing themselves as to the victory
and It's results, the following interviews
were obtained:
What Carrot A Hobart Says.
"This Is purely a victory of the honest
voters" said Mr.. Hobart. 1T Is a de-
mand for the continuance Of q sound
money policy. The Democrats who con-
tributed to the result are entitled to sound
recognition for their services to the people.
It would not be proper for me to discuss
what should be the policy OF the admins
tration- It is the duty of the government
60 protect and encourage in all practicable
ways the development OF American indus
tries, the elevation of home labor and the
enlargement of the prosperity generally Of
the people. favor n tariff that will fur
nish not only adequate revenue for the ex-
penses OF the government, but ono that
viii protect American labor.
Tho Views OF General Powell Clayton.
eff It turns out that we have a working
majority In the senate,'' said General
Powell Clayton of the national Republican
committee, "the country may look for
prompt legislation for the procuring OF
ample revenues to meet all proper public
expenditures The decision of the people
has of itself established the parity between
all our different kinds of moneys. Fol
the result too much credit cannot DO given
TO the hundreds Of thousands Of patriotic
Democrats who ref, d to elevate party
above country. do not presume to ad
wise Major Mckinley upon his policy, bu
am sure he will adopt the wisest anc
best course for the greatest number of oul
people upon the tariff and other issues"
A Talk with nIr. N II. Scott
Hon. N. B. Scott, member of the Re-
publican national committee, said:
Ell have never had any doubt about tn
sentiment of this country on the none,
question There Is only one standard tn
world over, and that is gold The seed
of truth sown during this campaign o
education will bear fruit during the year
20 come, and IL the money question shoul
ever again be presented to the Americal
people, and do not believe 1t ever viii
be, the verdict for gold will be more unan
imous than the present one, II that be pos
sible.
'In nv Judgment, congress should b
convened Immediately after the 4th {

servativo lines should be passed, so as I
give the government sufficient revenue I
meet its legislative and administration el
penses and adequately protect our manU
featuring interests If the Dingley bi
could be passed by the present senate,
think IL would be very helpful and woul
temporarily relieve the manufacturing II
terests of this country and prevent I'll
landing of large quantities OF foreign mar
ufactured goods between now and the AZ
OF March. Every ship Will come loade
from the east with goods manufacture
abroad that should have been made her
and these will be placed in bond befol
any change in our tariff law can be e
fected.
PERSONALLY I am convinced that ha
there been more facts presented to Il
voters of this country on the line of Il
tariff our victory would have been mo-
sweeping. believe the wage earners
this country realize that their future al
the future of their families depend upon
protective tariff.
s'What do l think of the breaking OF 81
solid southi There is no part or this cou
try that would be more benefited than Il
south by an administration such as b
lieve Mckinley and Hobart will give A
the interests OF such states as Marylan
North Carolina, Virginia, West Virgini
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia are &C
tainly closely identified with the principl
OF our party.
81 believe that Maryland, West Virgin
and Delaware have come into the Repu
hcan party as permanent fixtures Wi
anything like a fair election. Virginia Al
Tennessee are as surely Republican
Pennsylvania. Business will now reviV
manufacturing establishments will sta
up, and an era of prosperity viii open
to this country after the 4th OF March ne
such as We have not seen for the past thI
years"
