DEPEW ON M'KINLEY.
Says He May sRun" Too Fast and Be
come Winded.

Delmonte. CAL April 1-Chauncey NJ.
DepeW was interviewed today regard
ing q canvass made by the San Fran
cisco Examiner of the prominent Re
publicans of California which showed
the sentiment of the state to be over
Whelmingly in favor of Mckinley.
Let me see, >, he said, this lis the first
of April. The Republican national con-
vention does not met until June is.
Now there is such a thing as man
running so fast as to be out of breath
when the times comes to jump. Nc
Kinley is q good man and have no
doubt that he viii have the largest
number of votes on the first ballot
Blaine had the same at Cincinnati in
1876. and it almost broke my heart
when he failed to get the nomination in
place of Hayes, the dark horse. Grant
had the same at Chicago in 1880 and
yet the Blaine people nominated Gar
field
II it turns out that Mckinley on the
second ballot does not carry the con
Vention by storm. the followers of the
other candidates are likely to agree up
on some man who viii get the nomina-
ton. New York Will be loyal to Nor
tom I am q delegate -at-large to the
convention and all Of US viii try to
make him the nominee as the best avail
able man.
It was suggested to Mr.. Depew that
he himself would make a formidable
dark horse
No he replied. II do not think so
In fact such a thing is impossible. I
am better off where [ am desire to
say. however. that don't consider the
fact of being a railroad man being q
detriment in such contest. There is
no prejudice againdst railroads in the
east. and / think 1 have something to
do with the change. In New York to-
day it is rather to the advantage of q
man to be a railroad emplOye when he
gets into politics. He does not lose
thereby public favor and receives the
united vote of the railroad people in
