AltOl t I'Kr,l iiEWi .4 L A Ol I ATKS An Interesting Inteiview with a Cockling Maa -Notes and Comments on Hatters before Congress Special Correspondence. Washington. May 1. "Blaine and Depew will lie the ticket nom inated -ylJiCiaViOD una they will carry JNew lorlc bv over 23.000 maioiity." The speak er was a New York republican who !ias for many jears ueeu c'osely connected with the late Roscoe Conk ling in political affairs, and who refused to vote for Blaine it 1884. In reply to my questions he said: "Mr. CoriKiing ami his friends myself included riit-de a mistake in relusin": to supoort Mr. Blaine. We saw it when too late to change the resu t, but we propose to maKe amends this year by insisting upon the nomination of Mr. Blaine. Mr. Conkling was thoroughly in sympathy with this movement and had he lived would haye stumped the state for Blaine. Mr. Blaine was defeated by our defect:on in The State of New York. He stood the punishment like a man, and now we intend to see that he is rewarded for his lony- service and fidelity to the principles ot the re publican party, ami in order tt make assurance doubly sure we propose to put Chauncey Depew, New York's brainiest and most popular sou, on the ticket with him. Blaine and Depew make a com in nation that will be invincible in N'jw York." Will Mr. Depew accept the second place on tne ticket' 1 a-ked. ''Yes, wuli Blaine first, lie Honks B;aif?e the greatest living Ani'M'i can, aud would make almost any l:M-)ns! sacnlii-e to he'p to make him President." It this programme is (o In; carried out whac is to become of the bourns tifall the. "'.her "favorite sons'' ol the various States? "When they are iutcrmed, as they will be it tne pioper time, that this ticket is i be unanimous cnoice of the united republican party of ti.e Mute of New York, and that its' tintuiniilion will take that State our. of the doubtful column and restore t to its oldtime position at the head ot the republican column, they will all acquiesce and the nomination wi:l oe made by ac clamation. Then will lbl'ow the most enthusiastic campaign ot the age." Gray of Indiana seems to h in t in; lead for t lie democratic nomina tion for the vice-ijiesideucy. His name, t is :liought will con jole the ex rebels lor not getting cne of their number nominated. Representative Browne of Ind: ana, who is an authority on politics in his State thinks the republicans will carry it this tall. His reasons are the hick of harmony among ihe. democrats; the disaffection, through disappointment at not getting oiiices; the immense array ol vard and precinct workers and the bitter leeliug between the McDon ald and Gray factions of the demo cratic partv. Senator Paddock's bill, provid ing for the erection of a pub.ic buiidiLg in every town at which the gross postal revenues have been :jo,l)00 a year for the last three years, has beeu favorably reported y the Senate committee on post offices and is very likely to be passed by the Senate at an early day. '1 he Senate committee on agricul tuns bitve favorably reported the bill, which was passed by thc--Senate at the last congress, but not oy the housp, providing that the commissioner of agriculture shad be a member of the cabinet.
