The San Francisco call., 1896-08-28

nls alileu enemies. he mas done all OF
tnat. He speaks in no uncertain
tones. He comes squarely up to
the discussion of the money
question in the very beginning of the
letter, and calls things by their right
names. From start to finish of the letter
there is not even suspicion of hesitation
or dodging.
Upon the subject of the tariff McKin-
ley is as explicit as he is upon money.
There were people who desired to see
him sheve the tariff issue IL order 10
conciliate the antl-free silver element
among the free traders but Mckinley
would not do that. He believes in tariff
protection as much as he does in sound
money, and he makes his earnestness
understood in every line and syllable of
what he says on this subject.
Mckinley has borne in mind that
he is not addressing special stu
dents in fnance, but the common peo-
pie of the country and he has been
plain in his statements and clear in
his arguments. No wavfaring man need
go astray in reading this communication.
II lis acceptance will strengthen Mckinley
before the country and throw additional
viSor into the campaign"
Brief Words of Praise Caught Here
and There.
A. A. Louderback said: at is simply
grand and such document as will bring
thousands of votes to Mckinley and
Hobart"
John Gibson, secretary of the Judson
Manufacturing Company for the past
eight years:
~ read it over twice. was so much i'm
pressed with its force. / consider it simply
immense coming at this time, when the
Democratic nominee is raising such a
whirlwind on his trail. But this whirl-
wind will be lost sight of when the people
read ana carefully consider the language
used by this great man."
George T. Covey of 1902 Polk street:
"The letter, as a whole, is one of the
best expressions of Republican policy on
the financial question that has as yet
been issued from the pen OF any
man. II should settle the question
to the mind of any rational
thinking man. 1t is so unlike the super
ficial babble of Mr.. Bryan, who reminds
me of the river Platte, which is 1000 miles
long and only six inches deep. The body is
all on the surface"
q. s. Graham, bookkeeper, 935 Sutter
street: "Of course it suits me; but that
is nothing as compared to the interest
with which it has been received by the
merchants and business men with whom
| have come in contact during the day. 1t
will make thousands of votes for McKin-
ley and the Republican party"
w. 81. Hutton, attorneY-at- -law-I am
at loss TO know how any Democrat who
has read that letter can remain with his
party any longer-that is, if he has any
brains left in his head and considers the
welfare of his country. 1t is simply grand,
ana does credit to not only Major Nc
Kinley, out to the convention which nomi-
mated him.
Thomas Morton, the wellknown coal
merchant: you ask me what L think OF
it. Well, what can any sensible man
think otherwise than that it is simply
grand. 1t appeals to every sensible,
thinking Democrat as well as Re-
publican. Why, l believe the Populists
will wheel round and indorse Mckinley
before they get through. At all events he
will be elected, and this is all any man
who loves to see his country prosperous
can desire"
Thomas r. Riding, secretary of the
Thirty ninth Republican Club: Suits
me2 We'll, | should say it does, and still
better, it will suit thousands of voters
who have been wavering In their aIle-
glance to the party because OF the plausi-
bility of the boy orator and the hard times
under which we are all suffering.
Daniel L. Reynolds, collector, 512 Hyde
street: ut has the right ring about it.
1t is right from the shoulder and hits the
mark in the center. We viii have Nc
Kinley for our next President and the
country Will Do prosperous OuCe ulOIe
William Grant, carpenter, 632 Geary
street-"That letter will capture every
mechanic in the United States. Close the
mines and open the mills That's the
music to which We workingmen can dance
to.'
Manuel s. Torres, bookkeeper, 3O5 Leav-
enworth street: "a hasty reading of that
letter is not sufficient. A thinking man
should read it over carefully, and my i'm
preston is that when 1t is thoroughly
understood Mr.. Bryan and his crown
of thorns and cross of gold will
never again be heard of. Protection is
what we want. Something that will re-
store the confidence of the people in the
resources of their own country by giving
employment to the idle men of the Ma
tion."
Uncle George T. Bromley: 81 did not
wire Major Mckinley this evening, know
ing that he would be overwhelmed with
congratulations. While the letter was not
addressed to me personally read it with
profound interest. | admire its clear,
straightforward logic"
