OPPOSITION TO DEPEW IN THE WESI.
EFFECT OF THE ACTION OF NEWBORN ON oIhEh

Chicago, June Is Especial J-ane enooO Vi ono
decision reached by the New-YorlS delegation upon
e. 1ir.rert booms was variously estimated
according n the predictions or prejudlces OF those
,,on+rr;ng an opinion The Harrison men seemed
n tbinl, that il had seriously affected MI. Sher-
MANS chances. The Sherman men were OF the
oninion that il had made heavy lnroads upon
Tho HARRISON vote. Each faction had some
crounds upon which to base their theory
somewhat different opinion was expressed py Con-
rrossman Butterworth. He Thought that IL
wouldn't affect the vote for ME- sherman at all
Tho votes which Mr.. Depew could secure OUTSIDE
% NJ. yorl, wore not votes which had been
Iao,-od for nv. Mr. Shermans friends He was not
nronared 10 say that they would come from the
Harrison forces go ,..
" We are perfectly satisfied with the situation
as IL is he said. 1--WE have no 1auit 10 nnu
M complaint to make. Our candidate Is as s'fohs
and stronger, perhaps than he was yesterday
We feel the utmost confidence IN ultimate sue
cess
candid lie seemed TO admit that several votes
which the friends of Mr.. Harrison had counted
ON would now 90 to Mr. Sherman not because they
favor narticularly the nomination of Mr. Sherman
INIT because they undoubtedly would desire to
rrovcnt the Depew boom from gaining Roadway
too rapidly.
THAI DEPEw COULD NOT CARRY CERTAIN
STATES.
The determination with which MI. Depew
nomination is antagonized finds expression on tne
part of many Western men In POSITIVE asserVionS
that he could not cary certain States hiudier'o
considered absolutely safe.
:" IT, would be q great mistake to nominate MI.
Depew," said Senator Spooner, OF Wisconsin, 10,
dow we miqht carry the State, but it would
be with great difficulty 1t would all be uphill
work. Il would be risk which the party ought
not to take while there are other men to choose.

nomination would rouse intense preIudlces IN my

only; that Western States have been IN the

to carry on political campaigns nearly every

themselves raise all the money needed TINS time

Yon cannot put that too strongly. Ion cnnhOt
state it too plainly TO the friends OF Mr. Depew,

| A IURID PICTURE OF HATRED TO RAILROADS..
You Eastern people" remarked member OF
the Nebraska delegation, whose name is withheld
at his request, have no idea of the temper WHICH
obtains with us on the railroad question The
fact that Mr.. Depew is the president of railroad
is sufficient to damn him in the eyes OF our people.
You may as well consider Nebraska Democratic
State if you nominate him. 1t would simply be
impossiblc TO carry it with him the nominee of
the party. The feeling against railroads our way
is so intense that it has been the cause of blood
she'd and murder, even / could give you facts
fo support that statement, incredible as IT. may
seem Our delegation here however 1T may vote,
hardly represents the wishes Of the people Of the
State; hut chosen it is, under strong press
me brought to bear upon district conventions by
the Union Pacific i;alirodd Company, 1T would not
dare to support Chauncey Nj. DepeW. Let me give
Won an illustration Everybody knows that Ne
6TaslIa is a farmer State. Yet not single farmer
is on the Nebraska delegation. Everybody knows
further that Nebraska is a soldier State Yet not
a single soldier is on the delegation. As fact,
six of its ten members railroad men. This will
rive YOU some idea of the power OF the railroads
IN our State to control nominations IN popular
election However In a Presidential year they
would be powerless. Dapcw would he hopclcssy
beaten, if nominated" Congressman Perkins, OF
Kansas said: The nomination o. Mr. Depew
MIGHT not lose rs the State, nut IL w0ulG be Il
defensive campaign tLrou 4nDdt. IL wonld prob
abIv lose us one or two Congressional districts
In my opinion Mr.. Depew'S nomination would be
a great mistake -,
+" think" said a decgate-at-arge from Mime
sofa that this talk about Depew being unpopular
hot from 81 600 TO 81 900 that he could carry
Minnesota by 10000"
