lsY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TKiBtNGJ
Elmlra. Oct. M.-Chauncey NJ. Depew de-
c.arcd TO a Tribune reporter this evening that IN
a long series of years. during which he mas taken
part in great many political campaigns ne
does not recall such unbounded enthusiasm as
has greeted him during his progress through the
State to-day. He doesn't even except Presi-
Dental election. He I1ade fourteen speeches
during the day. and when he spoke at the Opera
House here this evening to a crowded meeting
his voice was as clear and ringing as when he
left Jersey CITY He went through Rockland
Orange Sullivan Delaware. BroOme and TioSa
counties and in many Of the towns had audi
ences larger than the entire popua ton Of the
places themselves. Ev rywhere he was received
with unbounded enthusiasm, and everywhere II
looked as though the voters meant TO roll mp an
immense Republican majority north Of the
Harlem.
Mr. Depew's speeches were all ncisiye. and
the leading men Of the different cities where he
spoke think that he converted more Democrats
by the series Of witty stories which he told and
of pointed replies which ne made than even by
the speeches themselves.
How is it," asked one man. that the price of
wool went up under the Mckinley bill and came
down under the Wilson bl?"
All my friend" Mr. Depew said. cit fell 50
low under the Wilson bill that 1t had to rebound
a little The gentleman who asked me the
question about wool has got no wool himself.
III bet. except what is on his head He is a
hopeless case. He has wool on the brain I'll bet
a dollar to a bad apple that that man will vote
for Hill"
How about Wilson," shouted another man
with a knowing look.

genial smile and his unwonted readiness. that's
the man you want to hear about. is it? Well.
Wilson is the man 10 whom all the big. rich
Englishmen gave a big. costly dinner in Lon
don the other day. Thy wouldn't give me
big costly public dinner because ] am Pro-
tectonist And while Mr. Wilson eating that
dinner in London they all said that at last the
era of enlightenment had come and Mr.. Wilson
