BuFrALo. N. ", May 16.-The dele
gates to the Republican Convention are
nearly all bedecked with badges oi
Chauncey M. Depew, and handsome
autographs of him are distributed by the
armful. The activity for Depew is GER
tainly not to insure his being delegates
at-large. and only one other alternative
for an opinion to rest upon remains. A
grave question prevails, however, even
among Depew's friends, as to whether
these demonstrations have basis on
votes which will reach clear out to Chi-
cago, or whether they rest only upon the
sentiment Of personal liking.
The Convention horizon, which yester-
day afternoon became beclouded by va
porizings Of hostility to Senator Hisccck !,
is this morning yet more heavy with pros
pective complications. The New. York
delegation this morning assem- bled in Sc
clusion for the express purpose Of fperfect-
ing opposition to Hiscock as delegate at
large, and in behalf of Levi P. Morton.
The delegation formally and definitely
voiced their opposition, and during the
recess will confer with Kings county TO
the end Of forming solid front against
Hiscock.
FIRST SESSION.
AT IL 20 General Knapp, Chairman Of
the State Executive Committee, called
the convention to order The State Com
mittee Secretary then read the roll Of
delegates for the purpose of it's perfec
ton. The call of Warner Millef's name
was greeted with the clapping Of hands.
When the 21st New York district was
reached there came storm. "Chauncey
M. Depewi'' shouted the secretary.
There was no answer by single voice,
but rafting shout so shook the air that
the gas lets fluttered and blinked in the
din.
Speaker Fremont Colo will be perma-
nent chairman. Charles Fitch was tempo
rary chairman and briefly addressed the
convention. Blaine and Depew were
spoken Of, and there were deaf
enipg cheers for one as strong as the
other. On conclusion of the address the
usual committees were appointed and
the convention took recess until P. NJ.
CHAIRMAN FITcn's ADDRESS.
Chairman Fitch said Gentlemen, it
is not for me to direct your deliberations.
II have at all gauged the sentiments of
the Republicans Alright. you do not mean
to limit the delegates whom you will
commission to the national councils oi
the party with castiron instructions, OF
bind them as to their individual prefer
ence for the national standard bearer.
You will trust to their sagacity and dis
cretion, supplemented as they will be by
conference and consultation with dele.
gates from sister States. When thus
they have reached the wisest conclusion,
YOU will expect them to act in unison, ST
that the voice of Jmperial.Ne York may
have that persuasion to which she is en-.
titled by her population, her wealth and
her unique position as the chief pivotal
State. You will not instruct or restrict
your delegates in their preference by
trusting to their judgment. You may
indicate the kind of Republican toward
whom your wishes turn. He may be
THE GALLANT LEADER
OF 1884 whose presence was an insplra
ton: whom we followed to defeat, bu
not to disgrace; who in private life hat
suffered no loss of respect, and who still
remains the Republican of Republicans
an American Of Americans. He may b'
the honosed man of New York whose
fame as an orator has penetrated ever,
corner of the land, but whose brilliant
gifts of speech are eclipsed in compari
son by his generous scholarship, his ac
curate knowledge Of practical affairs ant
his undoubted capacity for statesman
ship. The nominee may be one Of thes'
or he may be son of the Great West
that expanding empire whose free sol
rears free men and statesmen in tht
school Of loyalty-the West Of Rusk ant
Alber, of Gresham and Allison, of Har
rison and Sherman, but whoever he is
he will receive the cordial and unite,
support of the Republicans of Nev
York.
