He, too, was iu a satirical humor, and began his speech by Eomo characteristic innuendoes concerning his political boss, Senator Piatt. He said that in Depew wo should havo a sehator whom it would not be necessary to explain; I hit nobody would have to B9k how DepBW happened to get icto the Senate; thBt Depew would represent something besides himself and his party. This was most entertaining, and the largo audionco enjoyed it. But when tho Governor switched off to his expan sion theories tho applausodied out and the dinner party adjourned.
