OPINIONS OF wELL-KNOwN MEN. BOTH DEMO
Gratis AND REPUBLICANS
The campaign ended yesterday with an un.
shaken popular confidence in the sweeping trk
umph Of Mckinley and Hobart Republicans and
old fashioned Democrats united I'm the belief that
nothing could now prevent the election OF the
Republican National ticket by large majority
In the Electoral College and by an overwhelming
plurality on the popular vote.
The same confidence was felt regarding the
triumphant election OF the Republican candidates
for Governor. Lieutenant Governor and Justice
Of the Court OF Appeals; that almost a solid Re-
publican delegation in the Lvth Congress from
this State would be chosen. and not less than
two-thirds majority In the Assembly. The opin-
Ion Of well-posted politicians that the ma
jorty Of Black and Woodruff would fall little
short Of that to be given to Mckinley and Ho-
bart
plurality for McKinlev OF not less than 2oO.'

country's history. and that every vote be poIled.

reason to believe that the vote for Mckinley in

with the feeling that he ought TO make this VIC
tory the most momentous and memorable that
was ever achieved at the polls. To accomplish
this every citizen should defend his countrys
