WHAT ARE THEY GOING TODD.
Republican Leaders Putting Their Heads
Together.
New York SUM-
The most significant conference of New
York State Republican leaders held in q
number of of years occurred last night il
the parlors of ex-senator Thomas G. Plat
at the Fifth Avanue Hotel. There were
present besides the Tioga chcftain. Sen
ator Frank Hiscock, Chaucey Mitchell
Depew, William Brookfeld, Chairman OF
the Republican State Committee and
President of the Republican County Com
mttee, Collector Hendricks, Col George
Bliss, and others.
Joseph H. Choatc and ex-Senrtor Warn
er Miller hid been invited to be present
They we're not there. Mr.. Mi. er, with ex-
Congressman George West af Ballstor,
went to sec "Thc Last of tie Iiosans'
Err. Choate was too busy tC attend the
confero! &c.
The conference began shortly after the
dinner hour, and did not end until mid
night. Ex-senator Platt said that under
no circumstances could he speak of what
had transpircd Mr.. Platt was asked if
the Republican Senators we're to be ad-
viscd to flibuster and in other ways to
prevent and rctard legislation at Albany
this winter.
81 know of mo such scheme" replied
Mr.. Pla,t, and he added: Really, ] can
not under any circumstances speak OF
what occurred tonight"
No further questioning would help the
situation. Mr. Plat simply decline to
tell what occurred.
Senator Hiscock was asked what pro-
grammc had been decided upon for the
Republican Senators to follow this winter
"1hey will do what they think is wise,
he replied, "they arc their own masters
am frank to say that the decisions OF
the Court Of Appeals in my estimation are
wrong, especially so in the OnodaSa and
the Duchess districts. But still do moi
wish to say anything concerning anything
that may have transpired tonight"
Collector Hendricks wouldn't say
word.
A report that ex-senator Platt called
on ex-senator Warner Miller, in the after,
noon and personally requested his atten-
dance at tho conference was abroad last
night.
II will not talk about that" said Mr.
Miller when the subject was mentioned
al have attended no conference. | went
to the theatre with Mr.. West"
Mr.. Miller entered the hotel at ! l
o'cock and pointed to the clerk as evidence
that he had not been with his old assocl-
atcs in arranging the dcsiinies of the Re
publican party in the State.
Notwithstanding all the secretary all
the efforts of the biz Republicans to have
everything yelled last night, it was made
known that the conference was called fol
the purpose of blocking in every way leg
islation in the Senate at Albany this win
ter. Every effort will be made to prevent
the passage of the enumeration and ap.
portionment bills already drawn up ready
for the consideration OF the Democratic
majority. One plan cosdered was that
every effort should lie made to even pre-
vent the organization of the Senate by the
Democrats.
COL George Bliss was especially pro-
nounced in his protestations against ths
decisions OF the Court of Appeals. The
Democratic lawyers and the Republican
LAWYERS having charge of the Senate con,
tested cases agreed to leave the dispute;
to the Court Of Appeals.
1t was apparent at last nights confer
ence that several Republicans present be
licved that thep were relieved from thu
terms of this agreement when the cour
threw the election Of the Duchess count.
Senator into the hands of the State Boart
of CanvAsscrs.
The seating of Senator Osborne WAS es
pecially Objectionable to tie Republican
present ut last nights conference. Dila
tary measures were advised, flIhusterin.
and even revolutionary proceedings wer
suggested. =,
The present Senate will vote next fal
ON the successor to Frank Hiscock. Mr.
Plat, rs his friends, will not stop at any
thing reasonable TO save the onondag
Adonis. But the majority of Republican
appear disposed to accept the decision
of the highest court in the State. Their
is no other resort.
The Democrats at the Hoffman Hous
who heard Of the extended conference 0
the Republicans at the Fifth Avenue smil
ed at tho futile efforts Of the defeated t
raise rumpus now. ~
