There are many things to be seen n

1t is not generally known that this is the
largest institution Of the kind in the
world; vet it is fact, and in its facilities
for the rapid and perfect coinage Of

ceded to be much superior to the Royal
mint of London. which is generally sup
posed to he the largest and most com
plete mint on earth.
A reporter called the other day, and
through the courtesy Of Coiner James NJ
Gorham was permitted to witness the
manner in which dollars and dimes an

The Republicans of New York state

who have been chosen delegates to the
Chicago Convention, and those who
can influence the delegates in any hon
orable way. should insist on perfect
unity in the support Of New York
state of Mr.. ChauRcey NJ. Depew as
the candIdats for the Presidency.
Mr.. Depew is the only son Of New
York prominently mentioned for the
first place on the ticket. He is i'm
mensely popular and his popularity is
based on a character bey ond reproach.
Whether viewed from the standpoint
Of fitness or availability he is pre-emi-
nently the best man the Empire state
can name. While it ia true that until
recently an intimate acquaintance
with his worth was limited to the
Eastern states, his fame as an orator.

capacity and success and rs an Ameri-

Our dispatches from Chicago prove
concIusively that il the Republicans OF
New York state stand shoulder tc

American. No preliminary action
even is taken in Republican national
conventions until the delegates from
the Empire state declare themselves
