New YORK, May 1O.-Chauncey M. De-
pew was met by a reporter recently as he
was leaving the Grand Central Station for
luncheon. Mr.. Depew was clad in a new
light suit and wore straw hat which would
have looked attractive to any presidential
bee.
"What is the news. Mr.. Depew?" queried
the reporter
Mr. Depew carefully adjusted his s traw
hat and, placing his hand on the door knob,
replied; "Well, you may say that Mr.. De-
pew has seen the representatives Of every
Presidential candidate on the Republican
side, and they all come from the West. He
Vide Presidential candidate, and they all
come from the East. BY all the representa-
tives of these Presidential and Vice Presi-
! Dental candidates he has been assured that,
while he possesses undoubted strength in
New York, he could not carry single North
western State. The unanimity Of this opin-
ion Is as remarkable as its disinterestedness.
Good-by."
And Centrars president strobe away with
a suspicious twinkle in one eye.

SPRINGFIELD, o., June 9.-Black's Opera
. House was packed to the door last night
with mass meeting of Blaine Republicans
Of Clark county. Mayor Kelly presided, and
Judge W. II. West. the Blind Man Eloquent,
who named Blaine in 1884, was the orator of
the evening. No more enthusiastic meeting
has been held here since the last Blaine
campaign. Judge John c. Miller, in calling
the meeting to order, stated that 1t was to
antagonize no one, but was to give the Re-
publicans who were convinced that with
Blaine as a leader victory was sure, chance
to express themselves. By careful observa-
tion he had found that nine-tenths Of the
mass of Republicans want Blaine nomin-
ated, and he believed 1t was arrant nypoc-
risy to sit still and see the will of the masses
defeated. Judge West, when introduced,
was applauded loudly. In the. course
Of an eloquent address he declared
that, had 1t not been for the action of
the Toledo convention, neither the Florence
nor the Paris letter would have been written.
There are two men who can carry New
York" he said, land the greater of these is
James G. Blaine" Resolutions were adopt
ed, pledging the meeting to the nominee at
Chicago. The Blaine clause was this:
That we recognize the eminent fitness Of all the
connection with the Republican Presidential
nomination, but above them all in the hearts Of
ptOplt LOWcfS tudL lHuSLrlouS statesman,
James G.. Blaine, whose name Is linked with GER
tain victory In November, and we hereby COM
mend him to the consideration and affection of
ihe delegates to the Repblican National commit
ton in Chicago"
Judge West said after the meeting that he
considered Deepw and Harrison the strong
est ticket possible without Blaine on it.
Judge West writes tonight from his home
thefollowing:

Tonight, w. N. Whitley, the great mower
and reaper maker and inventor, who took the
plug-hat brigade, 1900 strong, to Indianapo-
lis, to see Blaine in 1884, said: II am hearth
