George Harrison Barbour has a high opinion of William Emory Quinby and his paper, the Free Press of Detroit, Michigan. Although he is a Democrat, Quinby bravely sided with the Republican Party on the silver issue and supported William McKinley’s campaign. Everyone Barbour has encountered has confidence in President Roosevelt’s capabilities. He recently met with Puerto Rican delegates and assured them that Roosevelt would offer them rights in the future.
