CHICAGO, June 1S-The four delegates al
large to the republican convention, from New
York are Chauncey Dcpew, Frank Hscock,
Warner Miller and Tom Plat. These four
men hold tonight the key to the republican
Situation, as far rs this convention is con-
cerned. 1t has never been definitely known
until today that Dcpew was an active factor in
the race bat the announcement that the New
York delegation would support him puts him
squarely in tho fight, and promises TO make
his cause play prominent part III tho proceed
ings of the convention with considerable in
terest.
The announcement Of Depew's plans has
been awaited by the friendso tho other can
didatoa, and general doubt existed as TO the
genuinoncss OF his candidacy. The manner in
which the announcement of his decision is be-
ing received, demonstrates the fact that bis
Candidacy ltas not heretofore been regarded in
o serious light, for considerable moro OPPOSE
ton has been aroused than was supposed to OK
ist. Depow has been looked upon as one who
enioyod good joke, and his candidacy was
thought 10 be merely tho humoring OF his
miIth-oVmg disposition. That opinion was
strengthened by the fact that his boom had
become tho hobby of that estimable and aniia-
bic crank, Colonel Elliott +. Sheppard, of the
Eew York Mail and Express, who for several
Weehs past has been feeling the public pulse,
interspersed with scripture and dished up in a
style, at least peculiar TO politics, but 1t turns
out that they we're indeed in earnest, and il is
with an air of victory that the millionaire
6aunts his iayorte's candidacy TO the breeze
OF the convention.
The matter was determined Mt the noon con-
ference OF the New Nork delegation at which
tmo IL was decided that the state would give
Depew their support, ut least for n while. Ho
will also have the solid vote Of Connecticut,
about twenty votes from New England, four
from Colorado, four or Two from Minnesota,
aud several are promised from Kansas, after
Ingalls, is disposed of. These, with four or
six that are promised from New Jersey, are
enough 60 make over one hundred to start
with and that is regarded full enough to
keep him in the field long enough for IL to be-
come apparent that he can never get the nomi-
nation.
In the newly opened and gorgeous room de-
voted to the preparation Of the Allison boom,
the general cussedness of railroads and mo.
nopolies is being discussed 10 q great extent.
