Mr.. Plat ended the interview by
stating in q very positive manner that
he would not confer with MIR. Reid on
the political situation. and that he
had not been invited to any republi-

PLATT NOT PLACATED.
The utterances given above very
clearly indicate tn It Nj. Plat has not
been placated. Judge then of the
surprise in political camps tonight
over the positive informant N that Mr..
Plat and Mr.. Reid did meet and
lunch at the latter's expense. To be
sure. the meeting was forced on Platt,
for Reid called at the boss' office and
could not be rebuffe1. The surprise
lies in the fact that Whitelaw Reid,
the ''spotless." will bumiliste himself
by groveling to the Ticga statesman.
What success or failure Mr.. Reid
achieved must be left to time to de-
velop. Mr. Platt took his usual boat
for Mani attain Beach late in the after.
noon. Before leaving his office he
was singularly juvial and, for him,
talkative mood. In the fall of 1888,
it is claimed by Piat,'s friends, that
General Harrison promised, in tho
event Of his cleo; ion, that he would
nominate Plat Is secretary of the
treasury, and but for the interference
OF Warner Miller that pledge would
have been redeemed. Mr.. Platt's
vindictive disposition was not 90 we'll

a. he did in 1888. Platt played fair
four years ago and Harrison betrayed
him. Platt this year demands Q COM

his terms are 90 great and exacting
that Harrison is reluctant to grant or
even to consider them. Thus far
Plat has got along very we'll without
Federal patronage. He is looking
toward the Legislature. He will bend
all his resources to elect republican
assembly and let the national ticket
drift for itself. He does not feel %
if he were under obligations to sup
port it. and. frankly. I don't believe
he will unless the President comes to
his terms. Plat has been fooled too
often by presidents to enlist or surren-
der this year until he can read in
black and white exactly what his com.
