TALK WITH cHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEw.
CHICAGO, June s-Chauncey M. Depew, of
New York, being in the city to participate i'll
the annual election of the Northwestern Off
GERS, being a director in that company, re-
porter had a talk with him on political anu
other matters, In regard TO New York poll
tics, he says that the Republicans are daily
coming nearer together and the Democrats
are getting wider apart. The conditions
of last fall were apparently reversed. The
Democratic party had never been so united
as it was then, and, of course, the split in
the Republican party was a matter of his-
tory. Even in New York city, which had
been the very het-bed of discord, the various
elements of the Republican party were COM
ing together, which was far better state Of
affairs than had ever been hoped for.

rying the staten When asked if there was
much talk of running Tilden, he said that
Mr. Tilden was beyond question the strong
est man in the Democratic party, but that he
did not believe he would consent to run under
any circumstances The talk about putting
him up arose among certain people who did
not believe the Democratic party could win
with any one else 1t did not originate with
Mr. Tilden. As far as the Republican can
didates were concerned, everything was in a
chaotic condition and would remain so until
after the election this fall.
His attention being invited to the Repub-
lican platform in Ohio Mr.. Depew said that
the party was thoroughly committed to q. pro-
tective tariff, and would only be too glad to
make that issue if the Democrats would &C
cept it.
Mr.. Depew is the attorney of the New
York Central Railroad company, and was
the leading Republican candidate for United
States senator for many days in the pro-
tracted conflict which followed the resigna-
tions of Senators Conkling and Platt
