was that it was dominated absolutely by the rep

MR.. DEPEw's DINNER.
A social circumstance contributed In marked
degree to this result Mr.. Depew on Saturday
evening gave dinner to the New-York delegation.
He addressed them in speech Of nearly an hour,
reviewing the disturbances that had existed for so
many years in the party in our State and appeal
ing to his audience to sink all past factional ami
mosities and join hands IN common cause. HIS
appeal was successful, and the whole company
rising at the table pledged to him. as their leader
for the future, an unwavering fealty and support
and engaged that henceforth and forever the past
should be buried and that the Republican party
In this State should act as harmonious unit.
I" The statements that have been made in some
of the Mugwump and Democratic papers that there
was an attempt on the part OF some OF the dele
gatesat large to make deal and transfer the votes
of the New York delegates or any portion OF them
to particular candidate are absolutely unfounded

THE CONVENTIONS WISDOM.
John F. Plummer had this to say about the'Con.
vention: 1.-THE results Of the action of the Con-
vention will prove to be so wise as to command
the growing respect and approval of all fair
minded patriotic, true-hearted Americans, who
love their own country and its interests more than
that Of others, and who believe in protecting our
home institutions and all those principles that
have the growth and progress OF our country rs
their object We are at period when continu.
Of this policy means still further progress and
which may cover few years actually, bnt whose
detrimental influences and results 1t will take
many years to overcome. This campaign will be
fought unless the Democratic party desire it 9th
erwise-as can hardly think they will-without |
personal onslaughts as TO character and record |
The Republican party will be more unitei in |
its action than for many years. and especially in
New York State, through the delegates from which |
to Chicago most united spirit Of harmony IN |
their coming action has been brought about I |
notice in the Democratic papers the criticism prin-
cipally Of oficeholders and those in the bus mess
world who have foreign connections importers. |
For the former ! would suggest that their over
confidence in their ability to walk over the Re
publican candidates may be decidedly illplaced
and as for the latter and all Free Traders their
opinions are Of course no surprise to any one. Mr.
Cleveland proposes to inaugurate policy thak is
in direct opposition to his country's progress in
the past; and If contrary to the country's iaer |
est, it is contrary TO the welfare and prosperity
Of those most interested in it,"
