Now, sir, you may resume your own seat
To his great surprise, on reSuming his seat the

Senator PIatf,

Mr.. Platts nomination for Senator is well re-
ceived. He is fair type of the average men who
make up the Republican party of the State. 1t is
true he is not as able a statesman or so distin-
guished an orator as Roscoe Conkling, William NJ.
Eyarts, or George William Curtis. He has not the
culture and scholarly finish of these gentlemen.
He is possessed, however, of practical good sense
and knowledge of men, which is quite as much
needed in the United States Senate scholarship.
Mr. Platt in intelligence, integrity and ability, is
quite equal TO the men who were the colleagues of
Rufus King, Martin Van Buren,, Silas Wright w.
L. Marcy, and w. II. Seward. New York is now
represented by statesman and an astute politi-
clan and experienced business man-NelC York
