ONLY ONE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
A reporter at this point seemed to be called
upon to ask Mr.. Depew what he thought OF the
United States and Mr. Depew gave him very
nostiva answer in the following words Il
think there is only one country In the world anu
that is the United States of America.
Then came an interrogatory from another re.
porter: did you meet the Prince OF wales whie
in London and. if so. what did he say?
Mr. Depew replied very promptly: among
people the other side of the Atlantic there !;

A STRONG HOLD ON WORKINGMEN
II is only fair to say that before Mr.. Depew
departed on the Paris about six weeks ago he
was invited to become candidate for Governor:
that on this invitation he ma!nta!ned the posi-
ton that the call was not sufficiently strong fog
him. but there is no doubt about the fact THAI
in his conversation Mr.. Depew led some OF hSD
closest friends to believe that II the Republican
party demanded his services In the coming cam
paign he would not ignore proper call. II 10
uron this idea that many Of his friends have
combined to bring him forward in the
pending campaign. II Is we'll known TO
every one acquainted with Mr.. DepeW
that he is not seeker after the nom
ination for the office 1t equally Wen
known that II the Republican party requires him
TO come forward in an emergency Mr.. Depew VIII
respond II Is also well known that In doing -
he must necessarily make great personal sacr!-
ioes He is aware OF the existence OF the fool19h
prejudice against any man connected with rail-
way management: but he Is also aware, as his
friends are OF his record In the maintenance
of kindly sentiment between all classes OF men.
1t is known that Mr.. Depew has strong noio
upon the labor element OF this State. ana it -
