Ex-Mayor Carter Harrison, it is said, will
support the labor candidate for mayor of

said he didn't want them to nominate him.

ALEX ANDRIA-.
WEDNEs DAY EVENING, MAY /.

Mr.. DEPEw, yesterday, in his address at
the celebration of the centennial of Wash
ington's first inauguration at New York, in
reference to the people of the States formed
out OF the territory presented to the United
States by the State of Virginia, said Their
prepouderating strength first checked ana
then broke the slave power, their ferVld
loyalty halted and held at bay the spirit OF
State rights and secession for generations
and when the crisis came, it was with their
overwhelming assistance that the nation
killed and buried its enemy" Of General
Washington, he said HE gave to the gov.
eminent the principles ofaction and sources
of power which recruited and equipped mil
lions of men for Lincoln and justified and
sustained his proclamation of emancipation"
OF the Constitution, he said; From the
time of its adoption to the present it has
been amended only upon the lines laid
down in the original instrument, and III
conformity with the recorded opinions OF
the Fathers" he also said few words in
favor OF continuing protection to the infant
industries" All this he said at great ma.
tonal festival, where people of all sections
OF the country and of all political creeds,
and who, though more than quarter OF a
century ago divided and went TO war on a
constitutional gu ,stion, had assembled to-
gether in peace and harmony to do patriotic
honor to the memory of the man who was
first in peace, frat in war and first in the
hearts Of his countrymen," and who wa
really the Gather of his country" MIR
Dspew's taste, according to some standards
may be excellent according to others, 1t Is
not. Good taste always regards the feelings
of Others. Did MIR. Dspew think his refer
ence to the way the people of the North
west Territory treated the State which gave
them that territory was agreeable to the
Vir.niaus who heard him or that his praise
of a protective tariff was acceptable to the
revenue tariff men among bis audience
Then, too, MIR. Depew did not coDfue his
remarks within the strict lines of truth, FOR
nothing ia better known than the
fact that the amer dmeuts that have
been made to the Constitution were
not only effected 10 direct violation of The
express terms OF the Constitution, but are
not in accord with the lines laid down 10
that instrument, and are not in conformity
with the recorded opinions of the Fathers.
To say that General Washington gave to
the government the principles of action and
ssuIccs of power that enabled it to desolate his
own State, impoverish his own kin, and raise the
Southern question is too absurd to need COM
