ffsY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNAL
Buffalo, Oct o6.-Chauncey NJ Depew was inter
viewed this afternoon at the home OF his BROTHER
william b. Depew, by a Tribune correspondent.
Al shall be surprised said Mr. Dcpew, II the
Democratic candidates get 10000 majority soutn
Of the Harlem River, including Kings, newt Urn
Richmond and Queens Counties. They gcnerahs
count on over $4,000. They will miss 1t this time
They calculate on a registry OF 10000 In Ncw-f
i think the State will 30 to the Harlem RIVER WIN
10000 majority and carry the day by at least
ooo 600 majority for Harrison and Morton. i never
have heard careful political canvasscrs, whom nave
known for twenty five years, talk so conhden"s y"
the big figures of the vote 10 be expected IN INC oo'
ties. They talk Of 5000 in Monroe, winch sa'o
Blaine 900: 200 in Oneida, which went esa"'s'
Blaine 900 in seuben, and throughout the STATE
These are the careful calculations OF local parry man
ayers given in marty conferences, not for effect
How about the attitude OF the worl!ngmen In this
clection?,
The American workingmsn is an exceedingly
,Nely and tive force, and herein Is the uouo'c
with him for the Democrats. HIS arguments arc s'ii
ple So he says: Free trade or revenue REFORM Ut
tariff reform or tariff for revenue only, whatever you
NAV call r. nobody claims II will benefit me-. HIS
ARGUMENT is strong and IL viii hurt The worhhs
man saws: No matter what my political aSsocia
tions have been don't propose to part Win my oieau
and butter ,..n
Another strong force is the wife OF me America"
workingman She goes TO meetings anu ''eio "
discussions and the first topic In her nina Is "ha'
effect would these proposed changes have on wages.
She is the family treasurer and disbursing oniccr ana
takes care Of the surplus, that naturally she Is
deeply interested. My acquaintance is large WIN
this great non-votng element. They come 10 see me
often to get better places for their sons and husoahds
and every of them is against tarth ior revenue
only or free trade they call II, and the voc mil
rectly cast by the through their intense inter
est in the economic problem will be big factor. Inc
resut of the vote in New York and Brooklyn VIII nc
such as TO asonish Everybody. There Will be great
changes to the Republican side The curious ming
about this discussion Is that the personality Oh inc
candidates IS entirely lost sight or th'hk Una, o
Republican city ticket will be elected In New-forh
Erhartt will be the next Mayor. lie Is ia"Sei'
How have your audiences bcen|
q Tho preatest ever saw. They came to hear the
discussion Of the questions of the day. In New
Haven they got 900 packed into the opera house.
while 5000 had TO stay outside, and In Albany hes
cot 500 inside and twice or three times 'ha' mum
Der were turned away. wish our American "o'h
men could see what I saw OF the Englsh "orAins
man and his miserable condition.
Talking Of Englishmen, what do you 'nihA vi
