with Depewy"
Mr.. Depew climbed upon chair and
made a short speech, In which he said
''This ~ the quietest convention that
have ever attended. and 1 have been at
tending conventions ever since 1 abandon
cd milk. Unless men are ready to scalp
each other because they do not agree, con.
ventions are not likely to be interesting. q"
What's the matter with Reed shout
ed the crowd.
'Reed is all right, said Mr.. Depew.
Morton Is all right, Mckinley is all
right. Shoot a shotgun among the Repub-
lcans at a national convention and you
will find thSt every man who is hit IS all
right. We are going into bankruptcy at

The question Of tho vice presidency Is
still an open one. There is possibility
that Levi p Morton OF Now York mas

result OF much tolegraphic negotiations
between st. Louis and Albany, it Is dell
