If Mr.. Harrison thinks he has cap
tured New York by surrendering to
Platt every shred of pretense of civil
service reform, placing the custom
house and all it's great patronage
wholly at his disposal, he may wake
up TO find that he has his hnmilia-
ton and nothing for his pains. The
Platt convention at Rochester was
through and through, officeholders
and all, n Blaine convention. The
administration had formal indorse-
ment, but that was all. The heart
of the convention was with Blaine;
indeed, though the effort was made
under the inspiration of Platt to as
sumo a decorous attitude, the voice
of the delegates was for Blaine, as a
canvass demonstrated. Blaine, the
subordinate of Harrison in the ad-
ministration, is his superior among
Republican politicians. They look
to the secretary, not to the secreta-
ry's chief, as the coming man in their
party, and while they are not pre-
pared to break with Harrison, an
officer who will hold the reins for
eighteen months yet, they are pre-
pairing to worship the rising sun.
