PLATr's BoMBsHELL.

PLATT = BOMBSHELL.
New York, June 3.-The Morning
Advertiser says: The manifesto 0
; Thomas G. Platt has created a sensa
ton among Republican politicians
It is believed to be nothing more
than declaration of war by The
Blaine forces against the Harrison.
The significant utterances of Plat
Immediately after his return from
| Washington caused the general be-
lief that the attack of Harrison was
inspired by Blaine. The intimate
knowledge of administration affairs
displayed in the manifesto, causes
the impression that Blaine supplied
the information. Plat is noted for
his consistent policy of never talking
for publication unless he has an obs
iect, and is sure that the ground
underneath him is firm. Tae fact
that Plat 50 vigorously attempted to
! cut from under the feet of Harrison
every claim to consideration at the
hands Of the Republican party is tax
en- as proof positive that he has ass
urance from Blaine that hewill accept
] the nomination Platt's caution,
which is notable, would have other
wise restrained linn from placing
himself in position which would
cause his retirement as leader if Mr..
Harrison should be nominated.
ALGER PERHAPS.
Minneapolis, June 3. The fight
between the Blaine and Harrison
men still wages, each side claiming
their man on the first ballot.
The terceness Of the contest in
spires ths hope in the breast OF 9th
er candidates that the two forces
may eat each other up and enable
some dark horse to come in.
l. is thought that in the event Of
dead lock it could be bloGen by the
nomination of Alger or Gresham.
Ii was rumored this morning that
the .Alger and Blaine men had held
conference, but the parties inter
ested most i'll such a conf .@cnce deny
it stfenuously. Blaine makes ~
sign and none Of his leaders can
show any convincing proof that he
has given any one 70 understand
that he would accept-if nominated.
