Depsw the Choice Of the New York Dole
NATURALIZATION Elected Temporary
Chairman-The Tobeka Flambeau Club
and the Kansas City Republican Club
Met at the Depot by the California
Blaine Men.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 1S-The following is
an interview by the Pioneer Press on the
Depew question:
jaime W. Hustled. of New York, assured
the Pioneer Press that be was as close to
Mr.. Depsw as any living man, and he would
say positively that the changes all seemed to
be in the New Workers. favor. "The idea is
crystalizing," said HOsted, that We cannot
win without New Yosk, and every thinking
man admits that while it wo1ld be probable
to carry New York with Sherman or some
other of the excellent candidates, put be-
fore the convention, Dspew alone is sure to
carry it by $1,000 majority. The democrats
admit this and dread Depew's candidacy as
they dread the other, and not New York
alone, but Connecticut and New Jersey are
sure for Depew; the first without the shadow
of doubt. New York and Connecticut
means forty-two votes in the electoral col
lege, what party can risk their loss? Blaine
is not president because the national COM
mittee hoped to elect him without New York
and thus have HIM without obligation to the
Empire state. A fatal mistake they made,
and such it is now fully recognized. Who
can say Depsw will be defeated by loss in
the northwest? Your Mr.. Langdon tells Mr..
Depew he would lose Minnesota, but others
as we'll posted as he deny this, and Mr..
Langdon himself has confessed outside that
Minnesota was safely republican.
Then you know Langdon is for Alger,
which affects his judgment very naturally.
Governor Rusk assured Mr.. Depew that
Wisconsin is republican with our man as
the nominee, and Iowa as safely republican
as Vermont"
The tall, clerical looking George M. Glea-
son, from the Twenty second district, took
up the tale at this point by saying: "Mr.
commenced to work for the Vanderbilt's
twenty-f years ago, when they had only
few hundred miles of road. Now they
have ten thousand miles. If that
units me for the candidacy
can't help it, and if it makes
a majority doubtful in any republican state
can help being candidate and will. 1
am not convinced that this is true, how
ever.'
WOMAN POLITICIANS.
Indianians supporting Harrison have in
augurated new feature in their campaign.
The noon trains from indianapolis brought
to the city some two or three hundred ladies
of that city, who have entered the campaign
at the Grand Pacific hotel. They have been
decorated" with Harrison badges and are
making themselves conspicuous in enhanc-
ing the chances of their favorite.
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN CHOSEN.
To choose the man who would probably
preside over the stormiest scenes of the re
publican convention, was q delicate and i'm
portant task before the national committee,
when the members assembled at noon to Sc
lect q temporary chairman for the great as
semblage of Tuesday.
The calling of the names for the present
action of candidates for this position was at
once begun. California, almost at the head
of the list, had the advantage of being the
first to name its favorite. M. NJ. Estee, Of
California, was the gentleman urged by Mr..
Davis, of that state. Mr.. Estee was pre-
sented in strong speech as the
CANDIDATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
He was put forward as IAN anti-monopoly
man of the first water. Attention was called
to the quick action of the democrats in
choosing temporary chairman from the
coast. John M. Thnrston, Of Nebraska, was
presented in brief and pointed speech by
Church Howe. of that state. Stress was
laid on his ability as q parliamentarian and
upon his brilliant speech seccnding General
Logan in the national convention four
years ago.
NIB. LKLAND, OF KANSAS,
vigorously seconded the nomination of Estee
for his anti-monopoly record. Oregon also
seconded him.
The vote was then proceeded with, and
resulted in q tie. Chairman B. F. Jones cast
the deciding vote in favor of Thurston. The
was made unanimous on mo-
ton of Hamill, of Colorado, who had acted
With the Pacific coast men.
A SIGNIFICANT ALLIANCE.
The friends Of Depew have effected a,
strong alliance with Dakota, Idaho, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin delegates. The fact that
the northwestern delegations which are i'm
bued with q strong granger sentiment, have
been brought over to Depew, il looked upon
as significant in the extreme.
INV YORK FOB DKPKw.
The New York delegation met at noon to
day with closed doors and remained in SEES
sion for over an hour. The meeting was
chairman, and the first business in order
stated to be the election of permanent
chairman. Chauncey M. Depew was unan-
imously elected to fill this position. Frank
Hiscock was appointed to serve on the COM
mittee on resolutions. A resolution was
then adopted without dissenting voice de-
claring Chauncey NJ. Depew to De the

and amid q chorus of cheers
the meeting was adjourned, while the dele
gates burst into the hall shouting
'.HURRAH FOB CHAUNCEY n. DKPEw,
and other evidences of enthusiasm, nor was
their ardor dampened to any appreclable
extent when answering cheers for Allison
and Gresham came from the respective
of these candidates, nor when
the Iowa delegates marched in front OF the
New York rooms keeping step to the refrain
of "Allison, Allison, William B. Allison"
Mr.. Depew held quite reception and ne
received many congratulations upon the
shown by his delegation In his
support.
