THE TRULY GOOD PLATT.

Mr.. PIatt-Boss Plat, as DIR. Park
hurst and the Republican legislators at
Albany call hints after the Thirty
undertakers'' Of the Union League with
n stick with n very sharp point. lie
prods them In II very tender part when
he charges that with all their preten-
tiousness and ostentatious professions
Of Intense interest In Republication
they squeezed out OF the weli-flled peck
cts Of the entire union League Club
only four thousand dollars to help the
Davenport campaign for Governor: only
three thousand nve hundred dollars for
the cause OF Platt's young man Fassett.
and a beggarly twenty-five hundred dol
lars in aid OF the great anti-Maynard
fight OF last year.
1t seems from this story that the mill
ioncirss OF the Loyal League Club have
adopted n sliding scale Of political contri-
buttons. with n downhill tendency. Per
haps II the scheme OF the big boss Plat
and the little boss Milholland TO down
the Republican organization. and to nom
mate Reid for Governor next Fall
should prevail. the Union League sub
~scription will dwIndle down to nothing.
Mr.. Piatt declares that he is not a
candidate for Governor nor for any
other office. 1t would have been more
candid II he had excepted the United
States Senatorship. But he asserts that
the Thirty undertakers' are all ambi-
tious of serving the State. They will
probably reply that II they are DESTROYS
OF obtaining office they will certainly
seek to induce Mr.. Plat to retire from
the bossship and TO 20 to the antipodes,
as Judge Russell advises. should they
succeed in winning the nominations. Mr.,
Platt has so gloriously led his party to sc
many defeats that 1t is not likely the,
would trust their own fate In his hands
especially as he is known to be an ex
per. in the use of the sleeve-hidde
knife.
