not a Caesar, save in his all-consumlng
self-esteem.
Chauncey Depew, of New York,
WAS interviewed in this city lew
days ago. He declined to express any
views tavorably to the administration
which he did 81 much to create. Inc
brilliant orator and astute statesman
evaded every direct question, ana got
out of town and away from the inter
viewer without saying slnEl9 word
asdation of Harrison. This Is Sig
I.iacaDt, by reason OF the Tact That
Chauncey Dcpew'S candidacy at Chi
cago in 1858 made the nomination OF
Harrison possible.
There is scarcely Democrat in
congress who does not express himself
as believing that Mr.. Cleveland would
make better candidate than any
other leading Democrat for 1872.
There are many Democratic visitors
to Washington; they are coming and
going all the time; and | have yet to
see one who says aught against the
prospective denomination OF Mr..
Cleveland. He is the embodiment OF
the principle Of tariff revision; was
the bold author of the declaration OF
principles in 1887, when his celebrat-
ed message was sent to congress; and
is today beyond doubt the most pop
ular man with the masses of the peo-
pie who believe in Democratic doc
trinCs.
The politicians OF his party did not
want to re-nOminate Mr.. Cleveland in
'SS, but were obliged to do 30 because
popular sentiment was with him. The
same thing Is likely to occur Ill 1872,
with this difference; All the leaders
OF the party seem to look upon him
as the surest winnCr-and all politi-
clans want to win. They will concede
that Hill and Whitney are strong
men in New York; but Mr.. Cleveland
would be stronger in other states, and
New York is no longer the pivotal
state. The four new states of Wash
lngtOn, Montana, North and South
Dakota will cast thirteen votes in the
electoral college of '92, and it is likely
that New Mexico and Wyoming will
be admitted in time to cast six more
votes. That makes nineteen in all,
and the candidate who carries these
additional votes, with one OF the other
doubtful states, will be winner. 1t
Is believed here by those who figure
closely upon prospects political, that
Mr. Cleveland can get u stronger pop
ul'r vote outside Of New York than
can either Hill or Whitney. There is
no doubt that the people believe in
nm and his integrity.
This is "A lair statement of the case.
as viewed here. For my own part, my
candidate is Gov. Hill, and my belief
Is that he can carry several western
states. But, the tide runs strongly
towards Mr.. Cleveland, and YOU want
the real news, rather than the views
OF correspondent.
Every lady in Washington; every
ady IN the land who has seen and
known Frances Folsom Cleveland, will
pray ior the denomination and re-elec-
ton Of her husband. By the way.
