with . Republican majority in the Assembly
| and the Senate. SATURDAYS are always interest
| ing at the Filth Avenue Hotel The Republi-
rams e1me down from that dreary City OF Hills
to see tho sights and tax with the mas
| tiers o. the situation" whatever that may be.
| IL happens that the present Republican
majority OF tho Legislature At Albany Il made
! up mostly Of new men. and their anxiety to
| get TO New York after the adjournment on
| Friday afternoon 10 aGite startling. They are
| . pretty good class OF men.
| They Ia We bright faces. and they seem 10 be
| Interested In their duties. A good many
! interesting things have taken place In
| Albany this last week. but none Of
| them. perhaos. quite so Interesting az
| the visits Of the representatives of the
Committee OF Thirty. appointed to reorEanize
| the Republican marty In New York county.
| The Representatives OF the comrdittee are
we'll known. and for q time they seemed to
SWAY things at Albany.
|. These gentlemen requested the Assemble
| man and the Senators not TO interfere with
Legislation affecting New York city until the
| Com mittee Of Thirty could be heard.
|. They also wished to ascertain just how many
Assemblymen and Senators could DO count
they supposed sir. Platt was inter-
estod There have been various reports
concerning the result OF these expeditions.
but tho exact facts were not known
until last night. and then they were gathered
from Republican Senators and others who
visited Mr.. Platt at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
Among Mr.. Platts visitors were Senator sax
ton and Speaker Malby. Senator Kilburn. Sem
ator CoEGoshall. Senator stapleton. and As
semblyman Heck.
II turns out that the Senators do not believe
that the repi esentstives OF the Committee OF
Thirty should have .crA to Albany to lecture
them"
They feel that they are quite competent to
take care OF the duties for which they we're
elected. and while they will not interfere in
the personal scuaboles between the Milhol-
land faction and the Committee OF Thirty. they
propose to PASS. for Instance. Mr.. Platts BIZ
partisan Police bill.
Something hae been said OF the alleged op-
position to Mr.. Plat in the Assembly and the
Senate. One OF the anti-Piatt men said that
there were anywhere from twenty to
thirty-seven Assenblymen opposed to
any measure in which he was said
to be interested. and that there were
csr;siny from two Z; mi nine AN members
There's q wide difference in these figures.
but tho Senators who were in town yesterday
leans who have always been antagonistic to
Mr.. Platr. and who never stopped TO associate
correct inform alton with their mathe tn atics.
Indeed. tho Republicans who were IN town !
yesterday said that Mr.. piatt wac never |
stronger as the political leader OF his party |
than he is at tho present N oment.
They had 10 hesitnncy in making this dec |
laration. The gentlemen who made these re- |
marks said that they respected most |
Of the mem bers of the Committee OF |
Thirty. but that thera were certain men |
connected with this committee. whose past
history and alleged association with Tammany
Hall did not entitle them to any consideration
whatever.
There wasn't q Republican in town who
could tell when the LeXow Com ittee will get
around to Investigate the Police Department
some said they would come this week. and
some said they would come next week.
Ex-senator Lexov. Chairman OF the committee
and Senator Saxtop had a conference with
Lawyer John ". CON in the latters office yes
terday afternoon AMI Mr.. COZ agreed to serve
as counsel to the com In ittes
1t IL stated that financial arrangements
were made satisfactory to both sidee-"
NJ Gon will represent DR.. PArkhurst and |
will attempt to bring out any evidence that
DR. Parkhurst may care to give. William A.
Sutherland Of Roch ester, who ran for Attorney
General on the Fassett ticket will take care Of
the political end.
