LIKE 81. SAYS DEPEW.
THE SENATOR SHOWS HOW BRYAN HAS
HURT HIMSELF IN THIS STATE.


Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew. who has bean
UP the State for the last week making speeches.
returned to the city last night Mr.. Depew win
speak at Prohibition Park Staten Island, to-
night. and start I'D the State again Tomorrow
morning.
IT have stumped this State every Presidential
election since 1860" said Mr.. Depew last night.
and this year the interest IN the result seems to
to be akin to that taken in 1854 In 1850
when I spoke the people talked about going to
the lecture. They did not believe that the
question of slavery would lead to a bloody war,
as it had been talked OF for hundred years.
and they regarded the speeches as purely moral
talks In 1864 every woman had relative. hus-
band, lover or friend at the front They believed
if Lincoln was reelected the war would be
rushed to a finish and the boys would
home. AS result large numbers of women at
tended the meetings From that time until this
the women have not attended the meetings
They did not care for the questions Of recon
struction that came after the war. for the issue
of the resumption OF specie payment for the
tariff question. for Clevelands policy Of revenue
reform and in 1896 silver did not interest them
much
This year 1 see that the women come out in
large numbers. They come early They listen
attentively to what the speaAers have TO say
and drink in every word. The reason is that the
women recall the hard times of '9S. '94 80 and
'96 Then the laboring man and the mechanic
had little or work. with meagre pay Then
the small storekeeper and manufacturer, on
account Of business stagnatiOn, had no custom
ers. and the boy that was being prepared for
college or the girl that was going to Wellesley
m studv to become a teacher had to come home
.sNovv with work at hand, wages fair and
steadv the whole fabric OF the country Is re-
cuperating. The women who suffer most keenIy
from hard times don't want the times OF 'S7
and 90 to come back, and they are keenly IN
terested.
