Press Comments Upon Platfs With
drawaI.
NEW York. July 2d--A. M-The Times
editorially says: The withdrawal of Plat
can hardly fail to have an important effect
upon the Senatorial contest, however much
his former supporters may strive to make
| Crowley fill his place as an exact substitute.
| If the long-term vacancy can be filled by q
man not specially identified with either side
| in the contest of the last six weeks, but &C.
ceptable to both, that will be great gain
but there should be in such choice nc
seeds of compromise, contemplating in any
contingency, however remote, a revival OF
the dead claims of Conkling. His defeat
should in any and every case be regarded as
| an ultimatum. Platt is out of the way, and
his place should be promptly filed, so that
the vacancy caused by Conkling's resignation
may be dealt with alone. Then the lines OF
responsibility will draw still more closely,
and the question whether Republicans will
have control of the party be settled:
The T1-ibuneS editorial says: The with.
drawal of Platt does not change the political
situation. Nearly all his friends would have
deserted him at the first opportunity, as they
had been very willing to vote for somebody
else if permitted, but the votes indicate that
Conkling has favored the desires of Crowley.
The Republican members ought to be pre-,
pared for some sacrifice of personal prefer.

that Depew, or Wheeler, or Lap
ham, or any other individual should
be preferred, but it is exceedingly important
to the country that the Senate should not BIZ
left where Conkling placed it, In control Of
the Democratic majority.
