tain sense, an obstruction. They did not feel bound
to wait for him to reach Albany when the session of
the Legislature had already begun.
| THE OUTLOOK FOR TIE CANDIDATES.
The quieter events of the day serve TO increase
| the probability noted Yesterday that Thomas c.
Platt will be Shown to have greater strength than
any Of the machine candidates. and will eventually
| receive the united support of the Conklmg men,
bers Which, if the signatures TO the call tonight
represent TIE Conl1ling strength means the nOmina
| ton for Senator MIR Plat has many elements of
| strength, Ono OF them has not been discovered up
| to this time and will undoubtedly be n surprise
to politicians, generally. Congressman Warner
Miller who was one of Mr. SINNERS
chief advisers in lis campaign lo- the Speakership
and who is regarded as one of the anti-inachinc
| leaders in tho northern portion Of the State, viii
appear here openly for Mr. Piatt. Mr.. Miller Is cX
peced here during the night. This is an accession
of strength from quarter where Mr.. Plait has not
generally been supposed to have active supporters
This action is the rcGult OF movement in progress
fer some time past to iihcraze the machine rs it is
put Il said that Mr.. Miller aHd his friends not
ready II support Mg. d pew. and That, OF TIE
machine canl!atos, they prefer Mr. platt. In
allying themselves With his supporters they do not
propose to lose their individuality or their indie
pendcrcc. and hope TO utGOluce into the so-cailcd
| machine faction more liberal policy aid greater
| liberation of conflicting views than las been sc,S
! in the past Mr Miller is influential III his District
| and the machine men evidently lave hopes that
after 4 conference with him the repre- cniatives
both in tlIe Senate and Assembly Of his locality
nav conclude to vote for NJ. Pldti also.

is an exaG-craton, Of couISe, but tie estimate is in
