RenOminated.
LONDON, July 26.-An interview with
Chauncey NJ. Depew was published in
London paper on Sunday morning. Mr..
Depew deprecated the suggestion that
he was likely to be the man to cham
pion the Republican cause in the next
presidential election in the United
Harrison would carry the election as
the Republican candidate. Mr..
Blaine," he continued, lis the strongest
man politically, and the most popular,
but still, in my belief. Mr.. Harrison will
be renominated. That is my decided
opinion, no matter what candidates
other than Mr.. Harrison may be spoken
about"
When asked who the Democrats were
likely to nominate, Mr.. Depew, premis-
ing that he spoke year in advance of
the nomination, said he believed that
Mr.. Cleveland was the most likely can
ddate, but that the Democrats would
not be as unanimous for Mr.. Cleveland
as the Republicans would be for their
candidate.
Bad times, Mr.. Depew said, would
disappear under the assured prosperity

will do very great deal to-
carry the election for the Re
publicanS. Especially will the
reciprocity clause do great deal. Har,
riSOn would win on the tariff and sill
yer questions. Certainly the Republi-
cans erred in passing the Mckinley bill
Just before the election. The worst
effects of the bill were felt
at once, just in time to cause a Repub-
lican defeat. But it was not a Demo-
cratic majority. but a majority of Dem
ocrats and cracks. American politics
were very mixed just then. Now they
are clarifying, and the benefits of the
Mckinley law are being felt. As an
illustration the Farmers Alliance is an
outcome.
Then am to understand that the
Republicans will stand strongly by the
tariff question:"
''Certainly. You will ask me what
programme the Democrats are to oppose
to rs. On this point they, [ imagine.
will advocate modified form of free
trade, tariff for revenue, not protec-
ton, a sufficient tariff to keep the
government going without any regard
for safeguarding American industries.
Now let me pass to what will be the
second plank in the fight for preSi
dency. mean the silver question. or
bi-metallism, as you would call it in En-
gland. Upon the silver question the
Republicans are practically unanimous.
while the Democrats are divided among
themselves"
what will be the Republican pro-
posals"
shortly that we shall coin only silver
produced in America. BY this means
we should keep ourselves on q gold
basis, which is the standard basis
propose to coin all silver. not only
what is produced in America. but also
what comes into the country. They
would make silver equal TO gold, which
we Republicans say would ultimately
swell confusion and bankruptcy. The
Democrats say it would mean an i'm
provement in the state of trade. and in
the coalitions of the people. since
there would be freer circulation of cur
rency."
Zone last question, Mr.. Depew, not
connected with American politics. but
exceedingly interesting to the CONNER
cial people of England. Why have
American rails been going down re-
Gently on the stock exchange?''
II can explain that in sentence. The
trend downwards is merely temporary. |
We have sent S73. 600, 900 in gold to Eu- |
rope within the past few months and |
money went west to move the crops. |
Consequently there resulted strin-
gency in gold in New York. Whenever |
that occurs rails go down. Now good |
crops are assured. gold is returning and |
American rails will shortly be better |
than ever before"
