Chauncey NJ Depew has had many hattering
recertons but il Is safe to say he never had
hearter or more enthusiastic one than he got
last night in the Bowery. As he said in his
speech he had spoken almost everywhere in the
United States. except the Bowery. He certainly
Is not likely forget his first speech there or its
reception People who live in that part of the
city not supposed to love corporations with
surprising love- and yet last night many OF
them as could squeeze into the Windsor Theatre

Il Is doubtful II lie ever made better one 1t
splendid effort. and was most fully ap-
preciatcl. Every sally provoked a roar. and

| found last night II ne could have got into the
Windsor Theatre. The Thalia would not have
held the crowd. In spite Of the driving storm.
The contemplated parade and speaking from
trucks Mt the street corners had to be given UP

! effect tho wild enthusiasm Of the men in the
theatre. Every mention all through the even
ing OF the big Republican leaders provoked loud
