DELMONTE, Cal, April 1-Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew was interviewed today
regarding canvass made by the San
Francisco Examiner of the prominent
Republicans of California, which show
ed the sentiment of the state to be
overwhelmingly in favor of Mckinley.
Let me see,' he said. this is the
first of April. The Republican national
convention does not meet until June
16. Now, there is such a thing as a
man running SO fast as to be out of
breath when the time comes to jump.
Mckinley is a good man, and 1 have
no doubt but what he will have the lar
gest number of votes on the first bal
lot. Blaine had the same at CinciIl-
natl in 1876, and it almost broke my
heart when he failed to get the nom
ination in place of Hayes, the dark
horse. Grant had the same at Chicago
in 1880, and yet the Blaine people nom
mated Garfield. If it turns out that
Mckinley, on the second ballot, does
not carry the convention by storm, the
followers of the other candidates are
likely to agree upon some man who
will get the nomination.
New York will be loyal to Mr.. Nor
ton. 1 am a delegate at large to the
convention, and all of US will try and
make him the nominee, as the bast
available man."
1t was suggested to Mr.. Depew that
he himself might become formidable
dark horse.
No" he replied, 81 do not think so.
In fact, such thing is impossible.
am better off where L am. l desire
to say, however. that 1 do not con-
slider the fact of being a railroad man
any detriment in such contest. There
is no prejudice against the railroads in
the east now, and 1 think 1 have had
something to do with the change. In
New York 1T is rather to the advan-
tage of man to be railroad employees
when he gets into politics He does
not lose thereby in public favor, and
receives the united vote of the railroad
people in addition TO the usual vote"

post at Spokane, Wash, MIR. Cannon,
chairman of the appropriation COM
mittee, made an appeal for economy on
the ground that the condition of the
treasury was such that no new project
should be entered upon by this con-
Gress. He was supported in his appeal
by Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, who in some
plain spoken words insisted that the
necessities of the situation must govern.
He called attention to the fact that
during the first nineteen months of
the operation of the present tariff law
the receipts had been exceeded by the
expenditures S76,00O,00O This, of course
brought on a political discussion in
which MIR. Patterson. (Dem. Tenn.l de-
