ROAD AT HOME AaAIN-wHAT he SAYS ABOUT
HIS OWN CANDIDACY AT ChIcAGo-rALks
WITH OTHER PROMINENT DELEGATES.
A Tribune reporter boarded the car OF the presl<
dent Of the New-York Central and Hudson River
Railroad at Albany yesterday when the morning
was yet young. Buffalo had greeted the car ana
Its occupants with speeches and songs OF re]olc<
ing the night before and the arduous dunes Oh
responding to the enthusiasm of their welcomers.
the last duties that their Offices Of delegates
burdened them with, had somewhat exhausted the
little band of representative Republicans coming
home from Chicago with Chauncey NJ Depew.
Tho party had started from Conyention-Town
with a dozen or more MEMBERS but in its journey
eastward it was gradually reduced, until only
six remained to travel to the Grano
Central Station in New-YorS together. They were
Mr. DeDew, James W. Hustled who was accom-
panied by his wife, William II. Robertson, John
f. Plummer Commodore A. f. Bateman, and Alfred
L. Whitney.
The Oldest man among them was the earl1ess
astir. Ex-Judge Robertson looking happy ana
healthy, was the first to bid good-morning to the
Tribune reporter. The legislative influences OF
Albany shortly attracted the others, and they
were presently all out to breathe the familiar
air of the State Capital. They looked remarkably
we'll considering the wear and strain to whicn
they had been subjected.
THE CANDIDATES ARE ALL RIGHT.
Hullo, old fellow! How you 2" shoute0
Chauncey NJ. Depew to the reporter from tho
lounge in the dining-room of the car There was
nothing in Mr.. Depew's CHEEKY voice to suggess
shattered Presidential aspirations; and what some
folks, who cannot understand that serenity, born
of good nature and good sense, with which Mr.
Depew is so literally endowed, would have ono
believe is a ranking in his breast, was made
Al Of bic aor1u inO
fast jest
You haven't come as a delegation to inform
me of my Presidential nomination ?' he asked tho
reporter.
mo, sir. My mission is about the situation In
general What do you think Of it?
The situation is all right. There are no CLOUDS
in the skies, and no flies on our candidates.
"Wil you please give your views on the subjecs
at greater length?"
well the platform is the best we ever had.
1t doesn't require either q grammar or an inter-
prefer. Everybody who can read it can UNDER
stand it, and those who can't read it can under
stand it just as well when it is read to them Ic
Is perfectly clear to every intelligence up to the
doors of the idiot asylum. AS every intelngens
man approves it, it ought to break down party
prejudices and lead to unqualified success"
THE ISSUE WILL CARRY NEw.YoRR. =
i
of carrying the State Of NewYorkr
" l think we sure of the State on the issue.
The issue is squarely protection or free trade
The Democrats will try to get out from under that
by stating that they are not in favor Of free trade
but are only for reform of the tariff and the re-
moyal of it's excrescences. But Mr. Clevelanda
message to Congress lays down as strongly as John
Stuart Mill could the reetrade theoretical propo'
stion with the distinct understanding that Con-
gress should work toward it rapidly as it can.
That means the striking down of one industry
after another until we have reached the views OF
free trade, far the industrial interests OF tho
country are concerned by the close OF his admin
istration, if he should be elected.
Mr. Cleveland has developed all the aggressive
and ntoerant qualities Of party boss, and the
Democratic party have without murmur accepted
his unuuestioned leadershipand with his customary
determination, self reliance and egotism, he would
take the vote of the country to mean an lndorse-
ment of his views and Immediately proceed to
ostracize any member of the party who was not
prepared to carry them into effect by practicai
legislation"
REPUBLICAN CONSOLIDATION IN NEw-YoRK-
What of the influences and results Of the Con-
vention just closed?"
Zone effect of the Chicago Convention has been
to consolidate the Republican party in New-York
for the first time since its organization. The can
didacy in which was placed by the delegation
was a happy party movement in that respect az
| least After New-YorlSs candidate had with
drawn, the York delegation had no AMI
mosties to crafty and no partisan ends to ac-
| compsh 1t simply wanted the man upon whom
| it could best unite all interests to carry the
| pivotal State of New-Yor1 1t was only after the
most thorough and exhaustive discussion OF the
merits of all the candidates. and they all had
supreme merits that we found we could agree
with unanimity upon General Harrison: and the
| steady support and solid vote of New-York nom-
mated him. AS the Convention conceded to US
as supplement- to that nomination the Vice.
Presidency also, grave responsibility rests upon
| the Republicans Of New-YorlS to carry the State
| "The outcome of the Convention has convinced
me more than ever Of the potentialites of dinner
in the present condition Of American civilization.
| The one which / gave to the delegation on Sat
| urday night made dark horse an impossibility,
narrowed the contestants to the candidates before
the Convention. and made the, 72 votes OF New
York trip hammer which pulverized everything
that got in its way The fact is that all sue
| cessfnl social, religious, political and business
movements depend upon the potentialities of
| well-conducted dinner"
| WHAT REPUBLICAN SUCCESS MEANS
"What in your opinion will be the results Of
Republican successP"
"The ultimate philosophy Of Republican sue
cess on Protection platform means that con-
tinued superiority Of wages to the wage-earners
which makes the American wordngman the most
intelligent and independent workingman in the
world; while the fact that both of the candidates
have worked up from the humblest and most
disc9uraging positions Harrison, from log cabin
to be the leading lawyer OF his state, statesman
record, and Morton, from the home of country
clergyman in Vermont on salary of few hundred
dollars year TO be one of the most successful
business men of the country-is an inspiration Of
