Maine statesman is the man to nominate.
The New New England delegates will be
wit b Reed to d man and large number
of delegates from the West will be in his
favor Yes, sir, he will win"
Gov. Cleaves also paid a tribute to the
worth of Gov. Greenhalge and said the

by the handsomest majority ever accord

DEPEW,s DEDUCTIONS.
He Returns From an Extended Trip
to the West.

Says the Campaign in Ohio Is the Hottest
He Ever Knew-It Is a Battle of Giants
Between Brice and Foraker-How
Things Impressed Him.
New York, October 81 Hon. Chauncey
M. Depew has returned to this city from
an extended trip. through the West In
the course of conversation to repre-
sentative of the press he said: ''The cam.
paign in Ohio is the hottest campaign
that I have seen for some time. 1t is by
far the hardest struggle of the year.
There are certain issues Involved that
are foreign to a governorship contest. The
fact that Bushnell and Campbell are run
ming for governor is dwarfed by the fact
that Brice and Foraker are candidates
for the Senate. Both are ayowedly work
ing for the seat, and every voter that
casts his ballot in the campaign has as
much in view concerning his seat in the
Senate as the election of a governor. This
makes the legislative fight q bitter one,
and the candidates for the places in the
Legislature are being scrutinized more
closely than they otherwise would be-
Campbell is making a unique cam
paign. He has reverted to the old-tlme
shurrah' campaign. He has cast ASIDE
his own. He has attacked a local leader
in Cincinnati named Coke. He cites
tine fact that if he is defeated this man
Coke will become the leader in the state,
and that he is not a worthy boss. he
carefully steers aside from the tariff and
the money question, and seems to be max
ing the run on his own popularity. He
was forced into the light under peculiar
circumstances, and he is playing the
atrical part. 1t is regular fireworks cam
pajgn. He is swinging around the circle,
addressing thee or four large meetings
a day. with protechnical display OF
words, Ebut little argument, and generat-
ing a great deal of enthusiasm. The fact
is noted in the state ii he wins he will
be the logical candidate of the party fol
the Presidential nomination next year.
1t would, as you can see, MAKE MN q, q
tremendous factor if he overturns the
enormous majority of $780, 600 cast for Nc
Kinley. He will not do that however.
He has assumed too big a task. think
that Bushnell will win, bit it will be al
at reduced majority.
tOhio seems to have revived from its
period of business : depression. The
public seems to have adjusted ltslf TO the
knowledge that no more harm can be
done the country by tariff tinkering.
With a Republican House and Senate
and a Republican President two wears
hence, theyafeeI safe, and are consequent
" going right ahead. It's attribute to the
Republican party that they are doing So
stAs far as the South is concerned they
are slower in arriving at this conclusion,
but they are coming around. :

THE DoRY CRUSHED.
one Fisherman Saved, One Was Killed
Fatal Result of the Meeting of the L. b.
Adams and the Volunteer on the Banks.

| Gloucester October 31.-The schooner
| Hustler, which arrived from a bank
halibut trip last evening, brings informa-
tion of an accident to Gloucester fisher
man which resulted fatally. 1t appears
| that two vessels, the Lizzie B. Adams and
| the Volunteer, while on the banks, were
| close together, the captains speaking
each other, as it is termed in nautical
parlanoe.
Capt. Carroll Of the Adams and John
Bowman, one of the crew, jumped into a
dory and started to board the Volunteer.
The vessel came very close to each other,
and in some manner became jammed to-
gether. The frail dory was crushed to
atoms as the craft came grinding to-
gether. Capt. Carroll jumped aboard one
of the vessels in time to save himself.
Bowman was not so fortunate. To the
horror Of both crews, he, with the dory,
was caught between the broadsides OF
both vessels and pressed with tremendous
force. After a long time and hard ex'
ertion the schooners were fully parted

nowhere to be seen. 1t is more than
probable that he was instantly killed and
that his body sunk Immediately.
This is the first time an accident of the
kind ever happened to a Gloucester vessel
on the banks. Presence of mind I'M
doubtedly saved John Butler from a
similar acct dent on a marine railway
yesterday afternoon He, with two others
was engaged in scrubbing the bottom
of the schooner M n StetSon of
Provincetown, when the great chain that
holds the craft on the railway broke and
the craft began to slip into the sea. Two
men at work on the sides sprang off the
cradle. Butler was scrubbing the rudder
and was pinned down. Grasping the
situation quickly he dove under the
water, but the cradle in its raid descent
caught his legs five times, brushing him
| terribly. He was nearly drowned when
rescued. His boots and some OF his
clothing were torn from his body by the
cradle in it's descent

PSI UPsILON's JOKE.
An Alpha Delta Candidate Has to Take a
Mock Initiation.

New Haven, October 31-The initiation
of the new members into the junior
societies has been going on for several
nights past, and as result the Alpha
Delta Phi society is at loggerheads with
the Psi Epsilon society over joke played
by the latter society on a candidate OF
the former.
The candidate was named Jenkins. he
had benn notified by the Alpha Debts
that he had been chosen for Initiation,
and was told to remain in his room until
O'Clock, when he was to be called for
and taken to the society's hall and
initiated
The Psi U men heard of it, and at the
appointed hour they went to Jenklns's
room and commanded him to look toward
the wall. He obeyed, and bandage was
bound over his eyes. He accompanied his
supposed fraternity brethren down
back passageway, all the time obeylng
their orders to ''now dance up and down
and to sing "Sweet Marie. This made
him conspicuous object along the line
of march, which led out DlxWell avenue
out to the ten acre lots near Spr1ngsloe
farm. Here he was put through bogus
initiation.
When his supposed fellow fraternity
men were exhausted with their exerJlons
they told him to remain facing the other
way, and standing motionless, to await q
whistle, then to remove the panuaRe
from bis eyes and to run as fast as
possible for the city, thence to tue
fraternity house on Hillbouse avenue
jenkins heard the whistle and tore the
bandage from his eyes and ran.
None of his initiato1s were IN slght,
and after an hours tramp about Hamden
to get his bearings, he struck the turn
pike and found his way to the Alpha
Delta Phi house. Here he was admitted
and initiated, and thus the fact came
out regarding his treatment:
The Alpha Delta men were dumb
founded and avowed to get even. Ihey
learned that the perpetrators OF the JOKE
were Psi U men, and had just one more
man to initiate and his experience was
set down for tonight. The Alpha Delta
bound themselves to visit on this young
man Affections such as the Psi US mao
set upon Jenkins.
The Psi US heard of the schmes ana
today stationed in the room of the candl-
date three of their heaviest members,
who remained on picket duty all day TO
Illustrate the scheme of the Alpha Delta
men. There were several demonstrations
on the part of the aggrieved society men
but the home guard proved too STRONG
and the revenge was abandoned for To-
night.
