Wilson, Postmaster General in Cleveland's Cabinet. Hon. William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, the great tariff reformer j whose tariff bill of several years ago won fame for, its author and who has all along been, the opposite , of McKinley on the great question of tariff, ! was in Salisbury last night when the news of the nomina tion of McKinley and Hobart reached here. I Mr. Wilson talked to a World man about the nomina lions while waiting for the train to Washington. Said he: j "I am not at all surprised at the nominatjon of McKinley for president; that had been ex pected all! along. But I rather thought that Levi P. Morton, of New York, would be the man for the .second place. I don't know whry Hobart was put i m." Mr. Wilson; was returning from Nashville where he had been to deliver an address be fore the yanderbilt University, and talked of the pleasant trip he had had. He is very much pleased with the scenery of North Carolina and Tennessee and expressed the desire to re turn to this sec tion of . the coun try when opportunity affords. l F. E. Shober, member of staff of New, York World, nowjon a visit .here. . "The result is not at all a sur prise. McKinley has been the only choice for v weeks and months. The New York World confidently named him long ago. As to the second place on the ticket no one is or ever has been particularly interested. That the Republican party should declare for sound money is not to be wondered at. To have done otherwise would have been equivalent to a total sur render of the whole vote of the powerful East. That the party has, however, thrown a well buttered slice to the silverites is manifest in the 'small following given apparently to Senator Teller when he 'bolted.' " t Prof. B. A. Johnson, (col.) Republican. , "I am satisfied that the nomi nation of Maj. McKinley by the Republican convention is equiv alent to an election. No man in the country is more popular with the masses'and in both par ties 'than Mr. McKinley. His record is clean, and he is said to Men Talk. Nominations. in. Wilson's Views'. West Virginia Tarii? J4ere and Talked. be personally an amiable man and entirely without, bitterness In his nature. This, with' his great ability, makes us unequi vocally in favor of ; the man from Ohio. We cannot 'say that we ars so well pleased with "the nomination of Mr. Hobart, of New J ersey, for we have never heard of the man before and would have preferred H. Clay Evans, of Tennessee, or Gover nor Bradly, of Kentucky. We think the South with a little careful nursing will poll a re spectable majority, in at least the border States. However.on the whole, we are satisfied with the work of the convention and shall give our support to the ticket." G. A. Bingham, Republican Candidate for State Treasurer in 1892. "Maj. McKinley was my first choice for the nominee for Pres ident. I am well pleased with Hobart for the Vice-Presidency. The platform is satisfactory Hon. Lee S. Overman, Democrat; ."In my opinion McKinley is the weakesjt man the Republi cans could have nominated, Reed not excepted. McKinley ism and protection are synono- mous and the people have repu diated them once under a de luge of ballots. Protection has been chiefly instrumental in a massing colossal fortunes for the few. I do not believe that McKinley can be elected." Samuel Archer, Editor Watchman, Populist. "McKinley won the nomina tion in a straight "fight with the people of the Republican party and his henchmen held the con yention rigidly up to the work. If the free silver people would now unite with the People's Party they could down the Re publicans. There is no other way to do it that I can see." Edwin Shaver, one of the most prominent I'ro hibitioniscs in North Carolina. 'If I were a Republican I would have been for Morton, of New Ylork, for President, or Al lison, of Iowa. Never would I vote -for McKinley through choice. He does not seem to have the courage of his convict tions, is a straddler on the fi nancial question and high pro tective tariff. The gold plank is the best thing in the platform. If the Democrats will declare a- gainstfree and unlimited coinage of silver at Chicago and against a high protective tariff, I think it will add Immensely to their strength and chances of suc- I cess. M. L. Bean, Republican. "I do not think the Republi cans could have done better. McKinley is the strongest man they could have nominated and the platform is sound. " Mayor W. C.Coughenour, Democrat. 4T think that McKinley and Hobart . make, a - mighty weak ticket." ! Hnry Durham, (col.,) ilver Republican from Utah. - "The 'McKinley men , ha a things in their own hands and rushed the convention ,The result does not suit me very well as I am for silver." - "'i, ' Hon. Jonirs.- Henderson, cx-Democratic mem ." bsr of Congress.; - 'McKinley - and HbMrtraro ' logical an d ty p ical t Kepubl f can candidates. The country is to be made prosperous .by! taxing foreign imported products. This might be a.good thing if the for eigner paid the tare. .Unfortu nately whatever De the duty, however high, the tax as paid by the American consumer. Tho American people are opposed to McKinleyism and McKinley can the ideas that he represents will unite their forces and' solidly oppose his election. Much will depend on the action of the I.em ocrartic convention at Chicago. In the meantime some estimate may be formed of the trend of public opinion. McKinley has been nominated on a sound money platform to catch the votes of the business men of the country but as he himself has never favored the monetary views of this new platform of his party, it remains to-be seen whether he will obtain the sup- -port of those who distrust him v but who approve the financial plank of the Republican plat form. The success of Mclyn ley ism will not bring prosperi ty to the country. There -will ' be no permanent prosperity, in; my opinion, until the Democrat ic party obtains undispiSed con trol of both Houses of Con'gress, with a President and Congress in perfect accord. Let every Democrat hope for the best and do all in his power to defeat McKinley and Hobart ." Don't be one of the last, you might not have another opportunity for a long time to come.
