Mr.. Deios Mocurdy Has Some Interesting
Recoiiectiour OF the Fight Against May

The Hon. Chauncey Mitchell Depew Is still
passing the nights at his country home II
| Peekskill and the Hon. Thomas Collier Plat
is still roosting at Nyack. Mr.. Depew Is a del

| Mr. Platt will go to the Convention heading hit
vanaushed brethren Of Tioga county. and III

| as the long horeman's borough. Neither Mr.
Depew nor Mr.. Platt has visited Brer Fox's
candidates bureau In the Fifth Avenue Hotel
| which has been doing an Indifferent
business since It opened on Sept. IL.
But It became positively known yesterday
that Mr.. Depew and Mr. Plat have had fire.
auent talks. principally at Mr. Platts down.
town Office. and that tho main business has
been to hit on New York city Republican who
will run as candidate for Judge OF the Court
of Appeals Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Plat are con-
vinced that the candidate should be New
YORK city man from under the shadow OF the
wings OF the Bar Association OF this city, whose
Mugwump committed. appointed by Wheeler
II. Peckhsm. denounced the course Of Judge
Isaac II. Maynard In the contested election
cases OF 1891.
Just how ex-senator Warner Miller Of Herki-
mer and ex-senator Frank Hiscock OF Onon-
dsga, the two absent members OF the Repub-
lican Big Four will regard the views OF MIR.
Depew and Mr. Plat is quite another matter
The two latter gentlemen have been rather
partial to eltherJud Judge HaiGht OF Buffalo. judge
Rumsey Of Bath. or Judge Coke OF Utica. But
Mr.. Depew Is acquainted with more lawyers in
the Bar Association than either Mr.. Miller or
Mr.. Hiscock. and. as a lawyer himself. he Is
more familiar with the views OF his profession
al brethren than Mr.. Plat is.
1t also became known yesterday that lieu
tenants OF Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Plat have
already done a good deal OF missionary work
among memb ers OF the Bar ssooiation. hut as
yetthe candidate OF the Republican Mugwump
forces has not been hit upon. The main point
to be ascertained In this work Is. How many
members Of the association agree with the
committees report against Judge Maynard2
Certain Republicans in the association are
rather foggy over the matter. and out-and- out
Democratic members protest that the COM
mittee was q Mugwump affair throughout. ap.
pointed by Mr. Peckham because OF alleged
personal feeling.
These out-and.out Democrats and their
friends point to the authoritative statement OF
how the committee was made up: Documents
