EVERY ONE IS SATISFIED.
REPUBLICANS ALL OVER THE Clli
PLEASED WITH THE TICKET

PLATFORM AND THE NOMINAT1oNs.

selves seem DISPOSED to be candid at least NO"
and then one can be found who will attempt 10

From what I can hear, the voters as mass
feel to-day just as they did two years ago this
fall. when they elected Republican Congress
by overwhelming majorities. The dinner-pail
issue will again be paramount thousands upon
thousands Of Democratic voters will be found
working shoulder to shoulder with Republicans
and voting for Mckinley. The lesson Of the last
three years has been a lasting one to them

men who usually vote the Democratic ticket tt
make sure that their vote is cast for Mckinley
and Hobart. This desire will deter them from
voting split ticket They will steer clear OF

be in favor Of having new tariff law adopted
even sooner than that. In order TO place th'
