the best OF it is he is, as we believe, entirely
right Give us Mr.. Mckinley for President
and we will soon have better times"
Senator Flint Declares 1t Will Increase
Mckinley Votes.
Senator Thomas Flint of San Juan:
II am entirely satisfied with Mr.. Nc
Kinley's position on every question. I
look upon his letter as all that could be
desired. 1t answers completely the
sophistrles of the opposition on money,
free trade and other questions. 1t must
result in greatly increased Republican
vote on this coast and will be as q whole
the slogan of the party throughout the
Nation. 1t is a plea for safe and honest
political course. l indorse it and do so
with great pleasure"
C. s. Crittenden Thinks It a Reflex of
McKinIey's History.
G. s. Crittenden, an old pioneer and
proprietor of the livery stable on Polk and
Geary streets, said: ait is such docu-
The mans history and patriotism for
everything that can elevate the American
mechanic and laDoring man all through
his course in Congress is fully expressed
in that letter, and he will, without doubt,
be rewarded by the votes of the men
whom he seeks to benefit. With McKin-
ley as President of the United States, the
entire Nation will, with one bound, as
sumo that station OF prosperity from
which an ili-advised President has dragged
1t, by ana with the cooperation of his
party in Congress"
Mr. Henry Compares Mckinley With
Lincoln.
A. G. Henry of Oakland: "I consider
McKinley's letter of acceptance the
greatest speech and the greatest argu-
ment ever given to the Nation. 1t
is equal to Lincoln's acceptance,
inaugural or any OF mis- messages to Con-
gresS during his term OF Office. II con-
tains more real undisputable facts in the
form of words. of anything / ever saw.
1T Is put in such manner that any
man, woman or child may read and thor
oughly understand the situation. He has
risen to the occasion, just as such man
can when 1t is required of him."
Better Times and Mckinley Are Coming,
Says Judge Ogden.
Judge F. B. Ogden of Oakland: 1.-The
letter of acceptance is the work of states
man; a genius; one who fully understands
the present situation, and who can
look far into the distance and
d
of this size. / think he has struck the
keynote of future prosperity in the three
leading thoughts-sound money, protec-
ton and reciprocity. With these the
country is sure to see better times, and
then happiness will come to the working
men. Any attempt to have evaded these
three points would have been rulnous at
this time. l believe the letter will
strengthen the parry very materially in

Mr.. Stratton Calls 1t Lucid on the
Money Question.
Fred S. Stratton of Oakland: "McKin-
ley's letter of acceptance is not only strong
on the money question but it demonstrates
the results of our American protec-
tive system of tariff and shows
the commercial value of reciprocity
treaties. The statements on the money
question are plain and easily un-
derstood and make it very valu-
able just at this time, when ora
tors are saying anything, regardless
of its truth. There is no attempt to rele-
gate the money question to the rear.
resulted fatally to the party here
on the Pacific Coast. As it
is it will materially assist in bringing men
to see the true situation and secure their
assistance in November at the polls"
