Morton is acceptable candidate because OF his
weil-known sound money views Nevertheless, al
states may be broken The politicians cannot make
definite calculations candidates as they, could at
one time. The people are looking more and more TO
men Of high character and qualifications.
HARRIS C. FAHNEsTOCK. vice.president Of the
First National Bank-It is premature to talk OF
candidates now. The only man VINO Will ever be
wanted for a candidate for President will be one
who is absolutely straight on the financial question
II is useless to talk about any one else.
OTHER WELI-KNOWN MEN SPEAK.
Among other well-known NewYorkers who ex-
pressed their preferences for Presidential candi-
dates were the following:
LOWELL II. JEROME. one Of the most aggressive
leaders in the Anti-Machne movement-The coming
is no doubt Mckinley. He has been properly
called the advanced agent Of prosperity In the
West That is what he undoubtedly is. The coun-
try under his leadership will again prosper. Our
factories and manufactures will be running full
time. Our receipts will at least be equal to our
expenditures. and all questions Of deals for bonds
with syndicates will be things OF the past. His
Administration will hurt foreign manufacture and
to the same extent benefit our own. He Is the en-
bod.ment of all that is purely American His
mind and ideas have been developed in the broad
and boundless West, and not allied with any
Wall Street clique 1t Is well enough to give favor
