NEW York, Nov. 9--Now that the cleo
ton of Mckinley and Hobart is an accom-
plished fact, the members Of the national
Republican committee at these headquar
tiers are resting from their arduous 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 victory of the honest
voters, said Mr.. Hobart. ut is q do
mand for the continuance Of a sound
money policy. The Democrats who con-
tributed to the result are entitled to sound
recognition for their services to the people.
1t would not be proper for me to discuss
what should be the policy Of the admins
tration. 1t is the duty Of the government
to 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 i favor tariff that will fur
nish not only adequate revenue for the ex-
penses of the government, but one that
will protect American labor.
The Views of General Powell Clayton.
eff it turns out that we have 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 For
the result too much credit cannot be given
to the hundreds of thousands of patriotic
Democrats who refused to elevate party
above country. / do not presume to ad
wise Major Mckinley upon his policy, but
I am sure he will adopt the wisest and
best course for the greatest number OF our
people upon the tariff and other issues"
A Talk with Mr.. N. ID. Scott.
Hon. N b. Scott, member of the Re-
publican national committee, said:
~ have never had any doubt about the
sentiment Of this country on the money
question. There Is only one standard the
world over, and that is gold The seeds
of truth sown during this campaign of
education will bear fruit during the years
to come, and If the money question should
ever again be presented TO the American
people, and l do not believe it ever will
be, the verdict for gold will be more unan
imous than the present one, If that be pos
sible.
"In my judgment, congress should be
convened Immediately after the 4th OF
March, and tariff bill prepared on con-
servatlve lines should be passed, so rs to
give the government sufficient revenue TO
meet it's legislative and administration ex-
penses and adequately protect our manu-
featuring interests. If the Dingley bill
could be passed by the present senate, l
think it would be very helpful and would
temporarily relieve the manufacturing in
terests of this country and prevent the
landing of large quantities of foreign man
ufactured goods between now and the 4th
of March. Every ship will come loaded
from the east with goods manufactured
abroad that should have been made here,
and these will DO placed in bond before
any change in our tariff law can be eff
fectod.
Personally am convinced that had
there been more facts presented to the
voters of this country on tho line of the
tariff our victory would have been more
sweeping. / believe the wage earners of
this country realize that their future and
the future of their families depend upon
protective tariff
"What do think of the breaking of the
solid SOUTH There is no part of this coun-
try that would be more benefited than the
south by an administration such as be-
lieye Mckinley and Hobart will give, All
the interests Of such states as Maryland,
North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia are GER
tainly closely identified with the principles
of our party.
az believe that Maryland West Virginia
and Delaware have come into the Repub-
lican party as permanent fixtures with
anything like fair election. Virginia and
Tennessee are as surely Republican as
Pennsylvania. Business will now revive,
manufacturing establishments will start
up, and an era of prosperity will open up
to this country after the 4th of March next
such as we have not seen for the past three
years
