PARTY MAN. BUT NOT PARTISAN.
While giving to the Administration OF President
Mckinley loyal support, while living up to the
principles and promises Of the Republican party l
hope to be as Senator party man, but not

GENERAL TRACY ON NATIONAL ISSUES.
General Benjamin F. Tracy spoke after Mr..
Depew. In electing the latter to the United States
only honored Mr.. Depew. but had honored itself
and had also in some small degree recompensed the
honesty and fidelity OF the forty years service
which the Senator had given to his party
General Tracy glowingly predicted the success
which Mr.. Depew would achieve In the National
Senate and then proceeded remark upon the
great crucial questions which the country would
have to decide during the next few years. Cir
cumstances as the result Of the had forced
conditions upon the country which had 10 be seri-

to be difficulties he predicted. would be achieved in
such a manner as to add to the country's glory
General Tracy went to speak OF National ques-
lions and advocated the construction OF the Mica
ragua Canal.

morously referring 10 his age in comparison with
that OF Mr.. Depew.

said the days when we used to meet at the old
Yale fence in 1853. Even then Senator's
tones we're as dulcet and his eloquence as per-
suaslve as now. and must FAY that he wrought
havoc among the hearts OF the fair maids OF New
Haven I recolect with sadness that since those
days we have not once met at that old fence. Our
friend is going to arena which to one Of his
gifts and capabilities must re most fascinating.
He goes with a superb training as citizen. as a
business man. a scholar. orator and patriot.
I can assure you that wish him success more
than his old friends who have followed his career
and watched his deserved advancement

Enthusiastically on Mr.. Depews capabilities. as shown
In his management Of railroads. He explained
the pertnence Of such ability In regard to Russian
national affairs, and after showing how we'll
