The Republican Party Will Have ia
Fall Back on Blaine.
MR.. DEPEW is NO FOOL.
Beat Of the Political Pulse In New
York---hteresting Interview With
Camden.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The revival OF
interest in the candidacy of James &.
Blaine is palpably apparent here. With
in the short glimpSes of moon the re-
action has come, and those who were
but recently deprecating the Maine can
didate'S withdrawal now declare he will
be nominated. The movement behind
Chauncey Depew gets its only import
ance because it has for its sponsors the
friends of Blaine. Touch q Blaine en-
thusiast and he will speak of Depew
with kindly consideration. This shows
cordiality between the forces, and may
have FORTS purpose the placing of Depew
second on ticket of which
BLAINE WILL BE THE HEAD.
Bill Shafer, the New York promoter
of many enterprises, and who resembles
Blaine in the face, was asked of the
seriousness of the boom for Depew. He
answered: "Depew appreciated the
mention of his name for the president
ial Office, but he is no fool. He reasons
that he can not emerge from the direct
Ing head of great railroad corporation
to the presidency. | think he is Loyalty
for Blaine, and that he will make the
speech in the convention placing Blaine
III nomination. After that, all the others
who have speeches in the interest of
candidates will only get leave to print.
Blaine will be
NOMINATED WITH A wHIRI
before the oratory can be exploded"
Even so good a prophet as Steve ElkiuS
does not now consider Blaine eliminated.
lie was met on lower Broadway and
asked: rs Blaine still in the presi-
dental raceT' Every thing seems to be
working that way was the CHEEKY re-
Spouse. Thus one cannot study the
situation from this eyrie and dispose of
Blaine i'll accordance with the expressed
wish OF his FlOrentine letter. The de-
sire seems to be to apply to him the act
OF CONSUMPTION. The Depew movement
has the appearance of mere decoy,
which will be bird of Blaine plumage
when Its wings are set in active motion.
Depey has strong following in
New York among men of affairs and
large interests. He abSorbs to his
personality this element, which has
fear OF Blaine and lingo administra-
tratlon. 10 put Depew OH the national
ticket with Blaine would attract to it a
strength among the bushes classes
which would not actively be for Blaine
without such magnet. Coming over

EX-SENATOR CAMDEN,
of West Virginia, and Bob IngersoIl.
The latter has grown in adipOse, but
retains that robust good nature which
recalls Charles Dickens "Cheeryble
Brothers," Some one asked IngerSOlI
who would be the next president. ''Any
good man." he said, whom the Repub-
Leans nominate. l even think Blaine
could be elected" Up to the area of
the Garfield administration Blaine had
no warmer friend than Ingersoll. Even
now he bears no malice. but his feel
ings were outraged when Blaine,
DIS the report goes, constrained Presi-
dent Garfield to withhold from him
diplomatic mission, through the fear
that such an appointment might shock
the religious world. On the theory that
the agnoSticiSm and the affairs of state
would not fraterniZe. Ingersoll had the
bent of his mind directed to his old pro-
feSsion of the law. Thus he shifted
from diplomacy and politics to the law;
settled in New York to practice, and is
getting rich. Senator Camden, while
be has personal regard for President
Cleveland, made the remark that the
president 0verstepped the mark in his
tariff message. He had a sure thing
before he proclaimed his message" he
added, but now he has not chance"
