Republican Senator. II, as is judged from
the character Of the man, he has calculated
all the chances with precision, he and
Platt will be returned to the Senate with q
strong endorsement Of their course, which
they will interpret in such . way as to
make them independent and q law into
themselves, and joining with them Malone,
who is likewise . friend of Jones Of Ne
