A PERSISTENT POPULTST LIE.

The persistence of the POpocratic newspapers in
printing imaginary interviews with Chaunccy NJ.
Depew in which he Is made to say that fifty men
in New-York could. # they would, do wicked things
with the whole country, has caused him little
ANNOYANCE At first he looked upon these publica-
lions as ridiculous and unworthy of attention. but
they continued 10 come him from all parts of the
country. and he made public denial of the foolish
warm Despite all this the Populist press continues
to print the stories.
Mr. Depew's mail yesterday contained clippings
from newspapers all over the West and South show
ing that the same old story is still going the rounds

an article with scare head" which read I'm part:
The Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depcw said: "There are
nftv men in Ncw-York who can In twenty-four
hours stop every wheel on all railroads. close every
door all manufactures. lock every switch Of
all the telegraph Lines. and shut down every coal
and iron mine In the United States. They do 50
because they control the money which the coun-
try produces.
Mr. Depew went 1T seems to that the
Populist papers all keep that thing UP and tina

lutely false l said recently. and repeat. that no
fifty men, nor FIVE thousand men, in their Individual
end business capacities, could bring about the dis
astrous conditions which present afict the coun-
try. A few representatives. I'm Congress can, how
ever easily produce infinitely worse results But
errors must be taken a. the mistakes Of over half
the population until the sober sense OF the country
substitutes statesmen for cranks."
Mr.. Depcw said that II people would stop TO anal
