The Hon Thomas Collier Plat got back
from Tioga county yesterday In candid
mood He confessed that the Republicans
didn't have anything to do with the smash-up
Tuesday at least nothing that amounted to
much. Mr.. Platt was at his oilico In the United
States Express Company building carly. lie
won't down there to work. but hundred or
moro visitors from oil parts OF the state kept
him talking and returning thanks for con-
ordinations MIR. Platt said that he was In
Oyego on election day and until or 81 o'clock
in the evening. Then he got news that Mr.
MAYNARD was defeated by more than O5OOO
majority. and he made up HIS mind that the
Republican State ticket was elected. too. and

throughout the campaign. and many Repub-
