BLAINE AND DErEW.
| To-day there are practically but two men
considered by Empire state Republicans. The
same men who reported in March now declare
that the sentiment of the State for first place
on the Presidential ticket stands:
Elaine. 926 Any good man...... "a
Depew... 55i -
iils'"ck. ......-..... - Iotal.. eel 800
| Sheridan ............
Most of these Blaine townships say they fav-
or their man whether he declines or not Some
90 as far AS to say they had rather lose with
Blaine than win with anybody else. In every
| instance the second choice of the Blaine dis
| trictS is Depcw. but the Depew districts do
net return the compliment, for many central
counties in the state and several precincts in
New York city that favor Dcpew want Sher-
man or Lincoln if they cannot have their first
choice. DepeW is strong along the line of the
railroad of which he is President. the senti-
| mcnt eliminating Ill Buffalo, where he Is a
| great faNorile. 1t is declared in the latter city
| that Blaine would lose on his 1894 vote, but it
| is also agreed that Cleveland would also lose.
| The district delegates from the Buffalo district
| say they favor Depew. The alternates say the
same.
Blane's votes come from Brooklyn, New
York. the Hudson River counties. except

papers i championinS his cause.
SHERMAN WELL THOUGHT OF.
The second choice represents nothing but
the preference with Blaine and Depew out of
the way. Not all voted on the question. but so
far As they did the result stands

| There is a Sherman feeling of small dmen-
sionS in the money quarters of New York In
some sections of the Twenty Congress-
ional District-Cayuga, Oswego and Wayne
countieS-thcre are many Republicans who de-
| clare they will not support Blaine if nominated
This is true in Northern Cayuga and Western

as one of the most prominent Republicans

Lawyer Braman of West Troy, who is one of
the delegates to Chicago, thinks the tariff might
he would lose heavily in the Nineteenth Dis
trct. The district is for Depcw and so are the
National Conventional delegates.
VICE PRESIDENT.
| On the question of Vice President so much
depends upon the choice of the head of the
ticket that but little is said. The following are

TIE ToNkIING BITTERNESS HEALING.
| In Oneida county. the home of the late Sena-
| tor Conklin%. it is repeatedly declared that the
| local issues are buried and that any good nom
| inee. be his name Blaine, Depew or Sherman,
can win back the lost ground of 1854.
There is much bitterness against the Mug
wumpS who are many times told that they are
not wanted. whether Blaine or somebody else
| is nominated. There is particularly bitter
| feeling against George William Curtis, who
was not wanted among the New York deIega-
| ton in the Chicago Convention.
! ABOUT \ TEMPERANCE PLANK.
| There is a growing feeling among the Repub-
| lcans OF New DIRK that some action ought to
| lie taken by the party on the temperance ques-
ton. The action favored is plank in the ma
| tionai platform favoring the submission of the
| whole matter to popular vote. Prohibition is
not urged, but rather firm control of the sa-
loon power. Many believe the question one of
| State and not national concern. but even this
class say the sentiment among Republicans in
their locality in favor of taking some restrain
ing action against the saloons is growing rapid
i. High license is favored in all quarters.
The following question was asked
| ''ln order to be strongest in your district
what stand. if any, ought the National Conven-
ton platform to take on the temperance ques-
