The Presidents Snceches.

Chauncey VI. Depew reached New York
last Saturday morning on his return from
an extended tour in the West. In the
course OF an conversation with Tribune
reporter ON what he had heard during his
absence Mr.. Depew said:
The speeches which President Harrison has
made in the South carried by the associated press
all over the country. and printed in Republican,
Democratic and independent newspapers, and uni
versally read. have astOnished the people The
man whom the country had been instructed to be-
eve aud very largely did believe, was small in
person. and marrow minded, presents in his utter
ances a breadth Of view. an astonishing versatility
and felicity Of expression which are accepted as
exhibiting the highest qualities required for a
chief magistrate of this great nation. When peo-
pie arr fooled. they get mad They have been
fooled ON the Mckinley bin and on Harrison. From
present Indications the result will be- the strength
eninR Of the protective principle and the renomn-
alton and reelection of Gen Harrison
There is no Democratic enthusiasm in the West
The Democrats you meet say in an Indifferent way
that probably the fight in 1892 will be with the
same old tickets as in iSSS''
The Tribune, writing also of the speeches
made by the President on his way to the
Pacific coast, aptly says:
IL Is true that other qualities are needed In a
CHIEF magistrate besides readiness in speech. But
one popularity Of President Harrison's remarks is
that they constantly show how thoroughly he has
studied and how profoundly he has thought about
the questions upon which depends the welfare Of
the people in the various sections. His speeches
are surprisingly candid and frank, in reference to
questions about which men differ widely and pas
sionately. and yet they breathe such sincere and
earnest desire to find the right and to do it that
even opponents are won by them. Because those
who listen and those who read find in the Presi-
dent man of wide knowledge, broad thought and
patriotic craftsmanship. they led to remember
that his administration Of his great office. under
circumstances of much difficulty, has been CON
spcuously clean, able and honorable.

The May ATLANTIC.

There has been no story so extraordinary
in its plot and so forcible in its vivid de-
scriptions, as the late Douglas O'Comor's
"Brazen Android, the concluding portion
of which appears i'm the Atlantic Monthly
for May. If the first portion of the ro-
nance was remarkable, it was at least
within those lines in which stoIy-tellers are
accustomed to cOntne themselves: but the
character introduced in the second portion
is so ineXplicable, and his action in the
story so tremendous, that what has seemed
but strange hitherto becomes now the merest
commonplace. The power of the story is
of the same kind that one finds in Poe's
Fall of the House of Usher" From the
intense tension of this story it is pleasant
TO turn TO the portion of hitherto unpub-
lished journal of Richard II. Dana, which
describes, in delightful way, voyage on
the Grand Canal of China. Sarah Ome
Jewett has never done anything better than
her Natives of Winby," which furnishes
the short story of the number. There are

serial, THE House of Martha besides the
