GETTING INTO LINE.
Republicans Somswhst EaeourAgsd by Ex-
senator Piatt's Attitads.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Scar
NEW YoRK, Aug 2.-The political develop
ments Of the last forty eight hours have given
the republicans some encouragement. There
are indications that the getting together"
process has actually begun. just what il 60
ing on between Plat and the other leaders
the public are not permitted to know, but
that he Is having quiet consultations with
Whitelaw Reid, Garrison, McComas and others
ct the headquarters of the national organization
cannot be doubted. His assertion that he did
not want to be placated may have meant all
that it said but whether that ia the fact or not,
there is reason to believe that he 10 getting into
line. 1t IL just possible that Mr.. Piatt may
have some personal plans with reference to
either the senatorship or some important posi-
tion under the next administration. should 1t
be republican.
The recent decision by the courts in this
state against the arrangement Of the legislative
districts has given the republicans a good deal
OF hope In regard to the senato-ship. They
now have quite strong hopes that they will be
able TO carry enough districts to gain control
OF the Legislature and elect . republican sue
cessor to Senator Hiscock Mr.. Plat has not
been much enamored of Senator Hiscock's
methods Of late, and he evidently prefers to
get himself inside Of the party lines, SO a. to be
able to have hand in the farming out OF the
ssnatorship when that time comes, If it should
come.
DISSATISFIED DEMOCRATS.
There is good deal OF quiet dissatisfaction
here with the selection of the managers Of the
democratic campaign. With Mr.. Harrity, q
Cleveland man, as chairman Of the national
committee, Mr. Dickinson as chairman Of the
executive committee and Mr.. Whitney, q
Cleveland man, as the handspring of tho
machinery which is to run the campaign, there
is growing feeling among the anti-Cleveland
men that they are not to be 'in it" in case Of
democratic success And while there is ap-
parent acquiescence in the situation, il is be-
ieved that the Rnti-Cleveland men will make
no efforts toward his election unless they get
some definite and satisfactory arrangements
with reference to the city and county end Of
the political pudding.
JAZZ pURHAMs VIEW OF THE FIGHT
have been quite impressed with some re-
marks made By an experienced newspaper man,
well known in Washington, who has been study
ing the situation here day by day for the past
three years. II was none other than the illus
trious organizer Of the up. +. o. n" party,
Mr.. Jay Durham, formerly prominent on Press
Row and in newspaper circles in Washington:
jay has been here for the past three years and
has made o special study OF political affairs.
His duties lie In that direction and he is brought
constantly in contact with prominent people
on both sidos Of the political fence.
81 believe" said he, ''if the election were to
take place today Harrison would carry the
state by q large majority"
'.Hov do you make that out. Mr.. Durham?''
''Simply because many OF the democrats OF
the state particularly those Of the city, have no
love for Mr.. Cleveland. They have no use for
any man who should set himself up o. away be-
yond the party in point Of political virtues, and
while they ere not talking much about it since
Cleveland il now the nominee Of the party, they
shoulders to the wheel to elect him"
''But IL not the republican situation about as
bad?"
II think not. Mr.. Plat, Of course,
has been holding back somewhat, but
there is reason to believe that he
are managing the campaign and think that
the republicans will soon get together for hard
work. They seem to be managing their cam
paign well. OF course nobody can tell what
few weeks may bring forth. but think II the
election were to occur now Harrison would
carry the state"
"And a. to Indiana?'
81 have been in Indiana SO little Of late that
my opinion would not be worth much, though
nv impression 10 that Mr.. Harrison is quite a.
likely to carry the state this time as four years
ago. when he did carry it."
especially interesting, because, to begin with,
he Is democrat; and, in the second place, he 10
BROUGHT closeiy into contact with the politi-
clans Of both sides and Is in position to form .
pretty accurate Judgment Of the situation.
Durham's Wsshin9ton friends will be glad TO
know that he is doing we'll in New York. He
has been in the Newspaper work here for the
past three years and seems to have struck his
gait when he dropped into New York Journalism.
Another former Washington Newspaper man
who 10 on duty sbout the hotels and in political
circles here IL Edison Brace, who was engaged
and aftsrward held position o. chief clerk Of
one Of the bureaus in the Navy Department.
WHAT "cAAlLxY' COON THINKS OF II.
Washington people continue to appear at
every turn. I met ex-Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury Cha. z. Coon on Broadway aud
asked him to tell the people Of Warrington
what he thought Of the political situation.
81 think the rernbhcsns ere in good shape"
be said.
"What about the kiekerss" was asked.
"Oh, that viii soon disappear" he said. ~
vas the most prominent among those who were
dissatisfied, is going 10 pull OF his coat in the
interest Of his party. Certainly he viii not
stand in the way Of party success, and VIII, I
an assured, give his assistsncs and advice in
carrying the state, which believe W shAh DO"
Il
some time here saw him at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, bat he was not inclined 10 talk for pub
location. Mr.. Kent b not much Of politician.
but close observer, and he makes no secret Of
his belief that the selection Of Mr.. Dickinson 10
not the most satisfactory one that might have
been made for the people Of New York or OF
the south. Mr.. Dickinson's course at Chicago
was not such - to make the average New
YORKER or southernsr fall dead In love with
him. His entry ct the bead Of the Michigan
delegation and Tie scene which followed, espe-
cially when . Michigan standard bearer st.
tempted to place . Cleveland banner among
the New York delegation did not have . ten
dency to enthuss the anti Cleveland men Of
New York and other parts Of tie country In
favor Of Mr.. Dickinson.
There is good deal Of important consulta-
ton going ON here now shout the plans II the
campaign- Each party Il watching the other
to see what its general plans are going to be and
how vide . field u to be covered In the long
Hght which Il ahead And al indications point

ritory than on any preceding occasion.
