days ago in the Niagara Falls

ten for publication, but that fact does
not allay Mr.. Platt's feelings any.
He retorts, in good temper, but in a
sarcastic vein, broadly intimating
that Senator Sherman's poor opinion
arises from his (Platt's) refusal
to cooperate with the Senator's
friends to nominate the latter for
President, and accusing the latter OF
being constant self-seeker and trim
mer. Sherman is about the on y one
of the recognized leaders of the Re
publican party in war times left in
active political life. Edmunds has
retired. Hoar and Dawes have retir-

and Conkling to the tomb. The new
