It was developed that In the course
of the trip there wa8 an informal talk

that the nomination of either would
not weaken the party in Ohio, and that
the nomination of Sherman would open
up the senatorial pathway to Foraker
and thus heal the exist.ng differences

sentiment that in the event OF the nom-

DEPEW WILL NOMINATE HARRIS ON.
The Eloquent New Yorker Was Asked to
Do This by the President.

CHICAGO, Juno 3.-Chauncey Depew
will place Benjamin Harrison in nomi-
nation for q second term at the na-
tlonal convention in Minneapolis. 1t
was arranged before the eloquent aud
gifted New Yorker left his home in the
east and is confirmed by the utterance
of John A. Sleicher, editor of the Mail
and Express, who is delegate from
the nineteenth New York district. II
is not strange that Mr.. Sleicher should
know so much about the plans of the
administration when one takes time to
reflect that he and Russell Harrison,
he presidents son. were partners
when the latter run Frank Leslie's.
"Mr. Depew will nominate Mr.. Har.
rison," says Mr.. Sleicher. "He will do
90 because he was asked by the presi-
dent and because it suits him to name
. man in whose ability to win he has
such confidence"
Asked, "How did it come about?'
Before Mr.. Depew came west he re-
ceived q visit from Russell Harrison,
who wished to know If he would name
his father. While Mr.. Depcw was hest.
tating young Harrison declared that IT
was his fathers personal desire that il
should be 80. Russell Harrison left
Washington and went 70 New York for
| this special purpose and before he re-
turned to the presence of his parent he
had secured the consent of Mr.. Depew.
That's right"
The editor Of the Mail and Express
did not say this TO q newspaper man
with the hope that II might get into
print, but the fact remains. neverthe-
lees, that he did cay IT and that he
meant it. This accounts for the warm
way in which Mr.. Depew has cham
pioned the president and the eloquent
manner in which he took the ground
from under the feet of Blame after IL
had been hardened and made solid by
James s. Ciarkson in . rousing inter
