ALL REPUBLICANS REJOICE
ENTHUSIASM FOR THE FAIR.
UNIVERSAL PRAISE FOR MIR. PLATT AND
MR.. DEPEw.


WHAT THE DEMOCRATS sAY-TALKs
WITH MANY MEN IN DIFFER.
ENr WALKS OF LIFE
The satisfaction expressed so enthusiasticaIlv
over the solution of the Worlds Fair nrobIem
at Cooper Union on Monday night was r. c.ecboed
yesterday in milder, but no less sincere. tones
throughout the whole city In the great wave
of good-feeling engendered by the happy com.
promise, there was only one disturbing clementJ
one current Of bitter disappointment. This was
on the part Of the Tammany crowd who had
found their hopes Of political spoils SO suddenly
and unexpectedly blasted. But few of these had
the temerity to express their cha grim knowing
that such action would be an open confession OF
| the truthfulncss of the charges made by Repub.
| licans against the original bill.
No man in the city appeared happier than ex.
| Senator Platt, and no one more warmly con,
| graduated. His desk filled with telesrams
from party leaders and followers, personal friends
and all sorts of people, and his Office was crowded
with delegations of Republicans. who came, as one
of them put it, :" TO shake hands with one of the
| pluckiest leaders in the party to-day" Mr. Platt
bore his honors modestly He was glad, he said
that the result had been so satisfactory all
around, and particularly in the fact
|
demonstrate two facts regarding his position
in the matter. First, that he was, and always had
been, heartily in favor OF the Fair. He had, as
is generally known, personally offered
! the resolution in favor Of it at the
last Republican State Convention, and he
wanted TO see the idea carried out Sec-
ondly, the compromise proved the sincerity OF
his declaration that he sought to make the Com.
mission not Republican but non partisan body
Another recipient Of hOnors was John I. Plum.
mer, who informed the meeting that Mr. Platt
and the Republican State Committee and Senator'S
would accept the amendment. His friends de.
clare that it the greatest episode Of his
life, and congratulated him, not only upon his
! speech, but upon his acceptance Of the mission to
make known the good news. Mr.. Plummer is
| heart and soul in the Fair movement, and sayi
that it must be made the grandest exposition
! ever witnessed lie will do all he can to insure
| this result.
HOW THE COMPROMISE WAS EFFECTED.
There is good deal of speculation as to how
| the compromise the Worlds Fair bill was
effected 1t happened in this way: Mr.. Depew.
after revolving in his active mind the idea con-
tained in the amendment. met Senator Hiscock
at the Union League Club Sunday night He
asked the Senator's opinion on it. Mr.. IIiscock.
| like every one else who heard 1t, pronounced 1t
happy solution of the difficulty. He agreed TO see
! Mr. Platt about il. He did so. Mr.. Platt agreed
with him at once that the proposed amendment
satisfactory in every way, Thereupon Mr.
| Mr. Depew talked with the members of the Com.
mittee on Legislation, they approving, and the sub
ect was ready for presentation to the mass-meet-
ing. The for keeping it secret is obvious.
Had it become known that Mr.. Patt favored
the plan, the Tammany element would have

been defeated. Mr.. Platt was ready. however.
in case the amendment did not meet the approval
Of the mass-mecting. to have it at once proposed
by Mr. Fassett in the Senate at Albany.
