the same majority that Morton did in looi
said Chauncey NJ. Depew last night. Mr..
Depev has been With Colonel Roosevelt all
week on his campaigning trip UP the state ana
came back only because it was imperative for
him TO be in New-York He reached here yes
terday morning tired. hoarse. but enthusiastic
He spoke sixty-eight times in the course OF
his trip. and each time TO big audiences. He
said in speaking OF the trip:
There is the keenest interest taken in Colonel
Roosevelt's candidacy up the State. The people
are all curious to see him and hear him talk
As a result there has been enormous turn
out at every meeting Even the rain did not
prevent It, Roosevelt Is good talker. and con-
vincng in argument He makes telling points
and carries his audiences with him.
Nov Van Wyck had good audiences and was
listened TO respectfully. but his meetings lsck
the enthusiasm and fire and go of the Repub-
llcan meetings. You see. Van Wyck Is confined
to the two issues-the canal question and the
Ranes law. Now, the people of the state are
pretty well convinced that the Raines law Is all
right and he doesn't make any headway there
As for the canals they are anxious to have an
honest administration Of that department, and
when Colonel Roosevelt gets on his feet and
saws buntly In his own fearless way, canals :
Well. all I can s9y is that when TINS aHesed

Again Roosevelt has a wide range OF topics ana
he hangs ahead in fearless fashion on Ma
toral as well as state issues and he can always
mako bright telling speeches, where van

limited owing 10 the few questions he Is allowed
to touch.
