CHICAGO, Nov lit is announced

The capital in the Chicago Packing &

In addition the two companies have
little over S2,000,000 Of bonds out

OF the ruling spirits in these two or
carnations that there is contemplated

company admit that there is possi-
bility OF that company coming within
the control OF the consolidated COM
pany. That company is an enormous
one, having a capitalization OF l,240,0O0
pounds.
1t is believed that the Hammond peo-
Pile arc particularly anxious to bring
such thing about. 1t is suggested
also that there arc possibilities OF vest
ern extensions and that the plans OF
the leaders means colossal organiza-
zation which take first rank in the
packing industry. The Importance OF
the consolidated organization will be
understood when it is known that the
consolidated companies will have q

TopEEA, KAN, Nov 1.-THE Repub-
licana OF Kansas are now looking around
to see if they have really saved any
thing from Tuesdays wreck. One can
didatc after another which thought
they had survived the general disaster,
has been found to have gone under
until now their only consolation is in
the election Of two congressman.
To-day the unofficial returns show
that Congressman Funston has been
defeated ior reelection in the second
district, and that the fusionists have se-
cured q majority OF nine on joint ballot
in the legislature. A POpulist majority
in tho legislature, Of course, means the
retirement OF Hon. Bishop W. Perkins
from the United States senate.
A Populist majority would doubtless
have 10 choose between Jerry simpson
and Judge John Martin. Jerry simp-
son is generally regarded by tho Third
party people to have secured honor
enough in his reelection to the house,
and his aspirations TO sit in the senate
will probably be sQnelChed.

the Democratic clubs OF the three ada

The principal speech was made by

"If," began Mr.. watterson, ''if ] were

angle, but with the same result.
Finally, when this had happened three

down upon the curbstone and in de-
spairing tones exclaimed: Lost in an

The speaker then proceeded to pay
his respects to those who had accused
him of inactivity In the campaign, de-
claring that he had been steadily at
his post OF duty, and then addressed
himself as follows TO the general situa-
ton:
"There is no double meaning to the

THE GENIAL DEPEW
Comes Back at Brother Platt in
Characteristic Style.
Mr. PLGTT, He RAN THE MACHINE
And Did 1t Well, But Ho Should Not
Blanc the Collision on the Man
Who was Limited to Making
speeehes-SIF. Depow Accounts for
the LandsIide-Thc Country Wants
a Chance at Free Trado aud He

New York, Nov. ll.-Chsuncey NJ.
Depew was asked this morning what
he thought OF statement made last
night by ex-senator Thomas G. Platt,
attributing the defeat OF the Rcpubli-
can party in New York county to him
(Depew.) In reply the doctor said:
brother Platt objected to me taking
an active managing part in the cam
paign. lie said: Brother Depew, you
are good orator and are good enough
to make speeches for the party, but yon
must not do any managing
"Brother Plat thinks am an ANA
teur when it comes to politics. On the
other hand. he believes, and SO do l,
that he himself is an expert and expo
rienced politician. 1t was, therefore.
agreed that Brother Platt should man
age the campaign. He was allotted
the task OF running the machine and l
was put of at spcech-making.
"Now, Brother Plat is shrewd and
competent engineer, and ran the ma
chine as well as it could be done. He
did all the work in the city aud in the
state, and did it better, perhaps, than
any one could have done it. But, then,
as lie was managing and conducting the
machine, don't think he can lay the
blame for the collision on me.
I'VE Just ran into landslide--lhat
was il, plain ana simple. Brother Platt
was at the throttle, and wide-awake,
too, but he could not avert an accident.
The engine simply plunged into the
obstruction and we all know the result.
EARLY in the fight Brother Plat in
sisted upon my contiping myself to
orations instead OF engineering actively
in the machinery department. He pre-
ferred to do this himself, as he had
bad more experience, so | went forth as
a speaker. Between US We evolved
the end.
THE result could not be attributed
to any one person or party oil persons.
Now York alone did not effect the re-
suit. 1t was the whole country. The
people wanted change OF policy more
than Of candidates and they will have
it. They want to try free trade because
they think they will get clothing
cheaper. They will have every oppor-
tunity TO try it, hope.
"lhe Homestead strike also affected
the voting. 1t came on rightin the be-
ginning OF the campaign and operated
against President Harrison. There has
been good deal Of talk about Mr..
Carnegie and Mr.. Frlck. Now, we
charge Mr.. Frick with having voted the
Democratic ticket. I declare that he
did not contribute 10 the campaign
fund, nor did Mr.. Carnegie"
