'ion - Bos, Platt in New York. The boss

,rsa administration believes they can carry
NJ York without Mr.. Platt's assistance.

~, meanwhile, is waiting for the Presi-

MILLER FOR HARRISON.
U.rner Miller is reported to have broken
.Iianca which existed between himself
Ud Mr. PIatt at Minneapolis, and is now
-agarded as an administration man again.
iTSs chalrmau OF the state central COM
,nit,as Mr.. Hackett, Is a Miller man, His
.sIsction was distasteful to Mr.. Plat for
,Sat reason, but he saw that If Mr.. Miller
Aid not control the craftsmanship the adj
Tninistration would, and SO acquiesced in
the election Of Mr.. Hackett.
Mr. Hackett Is in Washington to-day
and Warner Miller is expected. Jake Pat
tarson the chairman Of the New York
county committee, is also here, and all
these gentlemen will have q conference
wjtb President Harrison before their de-
parture from the city.
PATrERsoN's PULL.
Mr. Patterson was formerly one of Mr..
PlAtts henchmen but he broke with him at
Minneapolis and did good service for the
President. AS reward for his loyalty he
was placed at the head of the county com
mlttee, and by virtue Of that position has
become quite local boss. He has already
secured a number Of minor appointments at
the custom house, and the understanding is
that no appointments in New York city will
be made in the future that do not meet Mr..
Psttersons approval.
HIS AsTUTENEss SHOWN.
Some Of the injudicious administration
mep have been suggesting the advisability
Of dlsmissiug the Platt men at the custom
view to disciplininR the boss Mr.. Patter-
son has shown his political astuteuess by
opposing this suggestion and insisting that
harmony must be secured at any reasonable
cost He finds that Secretary Foster very
heartily indorses this view, and the Platt
mea will no doubt breathe easier when thew
realize that as a matter OF political expe-
diency rather than from any love of Mr..
Platt they will be retained In their places.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the boss to
defeat President Harrison's denomination.
HARMONY THE wATCHwoRD.
Harmony" seems to be the watchword
all along the republican line. One Of the
local party bosses from North Carolina
called on Secretary Foster to-day and urged
him to dismiss DIR. Mott, a prominent
federal official in that state who had gone to
Minneapolis as a Harrison man and subse.
quently used his best efforts in ex-Secretary
Blaine's behalf. His dismissal was asked
not because he had worked against Presi-
dent Harrison but because of his treachery
to his chief Secretary Foster, however,
fatty refused to consent to dismiss DR.. Mott
and bluntly told his visitor that the dele
gates at Minneapolis had right to vote
for whom they chose; that DR.. Motifs
support of Blaine had not
injured him in the eyes of the administra-
tion and that he would be allowed at least
to serve out his term. Secretary Foster
said in that connection that the administra-
ton has no enemies TO punish; that the pur-
pose Of the President was to get all the re-
publicans together and win the election if
possible. 1t is for this reason that Mr.. Platt
will not be disturbed in New York state
The administration feels that it cannot af-
ford to antagonize him, and the President
believes that by pursuing pacific course
MIR. Plat may yet be brought into line.
