SECRETARY pEPEW.

The Eloquent New Yorker Said To Be
Slated to Succeed Blaine.
New YORK, June 3.-The SUMS Min
neapolis despatch says: An interesting
story concerning DR.. Chauncey M. Depew
is repeated by the Republican statesmen
gathered in the corridors of the hotels.
1t is to the effect that should Harrison be
nominated and elected, the Doctor is to
be made Secretary of State. 1t is known
that DR.. Depew slipped over from New
York to Washington two weeks ago and
had long and confidential talk with the
President. Since that talk DR.. Depew
President is to be renominated, and con-
sequently, reelected. In Chicago yester-
day the Doctor announced that his prin-
cipal mission to the Minneapolis conven-
ton was to present the name of Benia-
min Harrison for denomination. DR..
Depew declared that the convention
would be ready to listen to his speech
making the presentation, certainly by
Thursday next. Ex-senator John G.
Spooner of Wisconsin, at one time the
closest friend of the President, has been
invited to indorse the speech of DR.. De-
pew. Mr.. Spooner has not yet announc-
ed his intention. 1t is apparent that Mr..
Spooner does not propose to take any
steps that would put him in opposition
to the wishes of the majority of the dele
gates. While he is friendly to Harrison,
his state is mighty fond of Blaine. Uncle
Jerry Rusk is the favorite of the people
of Wisconsin. The talk of Blaine for
first place and Mr.. Rusk for second place
has made Mr.. Spooner cautious about
accepting the invitation of John G. New
and others of the Presidents friends al
ready on the battle ground to second DIR.
Depew's speech placing the President
in nomination.
Concerning the report of DR.. Depew's
elevation to the premiership should Har-
rison be renominated and elected, only
meagre details can be obtained. Mr..

The Temporary chairmanshfp.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 3.-It is now given
out that J. Sloat Fassett of New York
has declined the temporary craftsmanship
which had been rendered bv the sub-com-
mittee. The national committee will
probably decide upon man for the po-
sition tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, June 8. Ex-Speaker
Reed has written one of his characteris-
tically straightforward letters to the Re
publican national committee, stating that
he is not a delegate or an alternate to the
convention and does not desire to be con-
sidered a candidate for the temporary
craftsmanship.
1t is stated on good authority that
John M. Langston of Virginia will be
elected by the national committee for
temporary chairman. He is the colored
ex-member Of Congress who was seated
by the last House after long filibuster-
ing contest. His selection will follow
the precedent set in 1884, when Henry
Cabot Lodge secured the selection of
John r. Lynch, another colored man, by
a union of the anti-Blaine forces. Mr..
Langston is not a Harrison man.
Rusk Quoted for Harrison.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Secretary Rusk
said today: '.Mr. Harrison's nomination
is the only logical conclusion of the
unanimous verdict of approval passed
upon his administration. The short
term of four years justifes his renomin-
alton by his party whenever Presidents
administration receives the country S
Endorsement. Moreover the stability of
public affairs is essential to the business
interests of the country which always
suffer from frequent changes

eign mails shall be expended in CARRYING
out any contract made hereafter under

coLoRED VOTERS IN REVOLT.
John NJ. Langston Says Blaine Alone Can
Do Them Justice.

Do Them Justice.
CHICAGO, June 9.-John NJ. Langston,
the colored delegate from Virginia. is
out in an interview today declaring that
the colored voters are in revolt against
President Harrison, and that the only
man who can give the negro Justice is
Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Langston declares the
colored people hold the balance of power
in Illinois, Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA. and
might disastrously exert it If Harrison is
nominated. He asserts that Attorney
General Miller, the Presidents law part
ner, has proved the most unfriendly man
to the co1ored people that could have
been named for that place. President
Harrison had snubbed the colored people
in the worlds fair appointments.
Tennessee woke up things today. A
portion of the delegation from that state
registered at the Palmer House and at
once paid their respects to Mr. Langston,
who is talked of for temporary chairman
by the Blaine people. The Tennesseeans
told Langston that they had glorious
news. The six Harrison instructed
delegates from Tennessee, they said.
had broken loose and gone over
to Blaine, with but two exceptions.
In the party were Fl. B. Lindsay,
United States District Attorney from the
Second District and alternate-at-large
from the state; Delegate J. Tigwater
and Delegate j. W. Conner. All these
are Blaine men. Lindsay, the office
holder, said the administration could
have his place any TING but he intended,
he declared, to work for Blaine.
A meeting of delegates and others
from Illinois was held in Senator Cul-
lums room at the Grand Pacific this
morning. Senator Cullum expressed
himself as confident that the delegation
would be solid, with perhaps one or two
exceptions, for Harrison and that they
would obey the instructions of the
Springfield convention. The only
signs of revolt against Harrison, he
thought, were among the Chicago dele
gates.
Charles Emory Smith, ex-Minister to
Russia, the editor of the Philadelphia
Press, reached Chicago Today and Joined
the Harrison boomers at the Grand
Pacific. Mr.. Smith is not delegate to
the convention, but will leave tonight to
work for the denomination of the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Smith spent some time in the
rooms of Senator Cullom.

conduct of foreign relations by President
Harrison and Secretary Blaine will
be specially commented upon. The
devotion of the Republican party to the
principles of protection will be reaffirmed
and the Mckinley tariff law endorsed.
The reciprocity action will be spec
