Is He tho Most Misunderstood Man in New
 York State Politics.
 From "Holands" Letter in the Philadelphia
 Press.l
 MT. Platt is think, the best or most misunderstood man in our state poli- tics to-day. To many men of the state and to a good many out of it his quail ties are those of the real political bogey man. His is the personality which is set up as the type of all that is vicious, unworthy, demoralizing, insincere, and even brutal in our political life. Many person have been convinced that by the iteration of these charges that Mr. Platt is almost a political fiend and that his methods are the methods of those who are constantly undermining the political morals of the people. Yet in spite of these charges, now for fifteen years made with all the fierceness of accomplished pens and speech, MT. Platt stands preeminent, and during the past year has so managed to take advan. tage of the popular feeling that he seems to have led it, mastered it, com. pelled it to serve him, whereas he is in fact really no more than its most conspicuous exponent.
 Those who imagine MT. Platt as a saturnine, grim, and dismal person with set lips and fixed eyes and a con. stant glare or scowl, would be amazed and amused as we'll If they. could be thrown with him at time when he feels free to let his boyish spirit have it's way. Conkling liked fun, but il was sarcastic fun that had a little sting in it; Arthur was fond of nlerri. ment, ut it was the merriment of res. pectable conviviailty; but MT. Platt is a real lover of pranks, man who car play a joke and who can take one, g man whose observant eye is as keenly directed toward the humorous things i. that are to be seen upon the streets of New York as was Dickens in Lon don. He can tell a funny story witt unctuouos delight, and even in those miserable days ia the senate. when ht was suffering from a strain such as he never will eALarience again he found genial relaxation in studying the comi cal attitudes of little Mshoae and hii

Tn 1891 he named the candidate for gov ernor. beekoning to more than 300 dele ga'es in the state convention, who obeyed his call and spoke the name thn was upon his lips, that of Mir. Fassett. Mir, Fassett was beaten that year. not because he was MT. Platt's candidate. but because any republican would have been beaten.
 The country does not know. nor does the republican party. how superior to all other individual effort of political leaders in New York was that of Mir. Platt in the campaign of 1888. So far as 1t can be said that any one did 1t 1t must be said that Mir. Platt carried New York state for General Harrison. Quiet and self-contained as he was every moment in the whirl and fury of that exciting canvass, he was never theless the pre-eminent, ever-presslng. constantly present personal influence in the canvass,
 During the past year while MT. Platt has been occupied with three very great business enterprises. he has also given closer heed to the politics of the state possibly than any other republican In 1t. It was that labor which taught him nearly year ago that Morton was the available candidate. It was subsequent work which made 1t possible for him to appear In these later days as the sue cessful leader of that Morton sentiment rather than the follower of it.
 MT. Platt owes his successes to an unusual understanding of human na- ture, and to his skill in playing upon Its chords. He owes 1t, furthermore, to an extraordinary and yet almost in visible industry, and he owes it to q faculty which causes him to cling to a friendship with grip which nothing can shake. and makes him true as steel to those who are true to him.

| FOOT NOTE.

Last evening the Register expressed hope that the Democrats would give Brother Pigott reception worthy ot this local fortress of the Connection! Democracy" and |, suggested that feet should be among the things used in making this reception what it onc!Iy 10 be. Did the Register have in mind the many Democrats in this "iocai fortress who would cordially welcome an oppbr- tunty to vigorously use the right foot in making such reception of Rrotser Pigott as they think he has earned?

 When has there been a Democratic rally in Democratic New Haven like that of last evening? It was the first grand rally" of the campaign. The 1OO-ton guns of the party were on the platform. Preparations had been made for a great time. But the house wasn't full. and there wasn't even the usual number of full ones in the house. The enthusiasm wasn't overwhelming the audience was disposed to be critical, and a number of those who work for living felt moved to leave the show when Brother Pigott began to try to tell them what he and tariff reform had done for them.
 The keynote of the meeting, as it is to be the keynote of the Democratic campaign, was Apaism. And some of the speakers forgot that it is as wicked to lie as it is to have religious preju- dices. The Republican party has not allied itself with Apaism. Ii is to-day, as it always was, a party devoted to religious liberty as well as to civil lib- erty. It is the Democratic party which is trying to incite religious prejudice for political purposes. and being base enough to do that it is naturally not above accusing its opponent of that of which it is itself guilty. The plot is a dirty and nefarious one and deserves the hearty condemnation of the sensi- ble and reasonable members of all par ties.
 Perhaps the most interesting feature of the performance was MT. PiSott. He didn't let himself loose and soar aloft on the wings of flying and flighty oratory, but he read an impassioned speech in an impassioned manner. He worked the dishonest and disreputable A. P. A. scheme for all it was worth and more too. He endcavored to excite re- ligious prejudice in his own behalf, well knowing that he needs some power- full prejudice to offset the prejudice that exists against him. He coolly in- timated that while the Hon. N. D. spere ry might have been a fair postmaster. he was not to be mentioned in the same day with the Hon. James P. Pigott as a legislator So pertly barks the trifling terrier as he circles around the noble mastiff. The most impressive part of MT. Pigott's speech and that which elicited the heartiest response was his invitation to those who didn't want to hear him talk tariff reform to leave The invitation was promptly and largely accepted. Those who had to go home so that they could get a good nicht s sleep before going to work a the morn ing, have had enough of tariff reform They didn't want to hear anything from MT. Pigott about it, lest they should get so mad they couldn't sleep well.
 The action of the band in playing Praise God from whom al. blessings flow" after Mr. Pigott and the rally were ended was most singular. That band is either Republican or it will do anything for money. If f is a Re. publican band there was fine satire in its doxology. If it was simply playing for money 1t was sordidly and sicien- ingly sycophantic.

A correspondent of the Japan Herald complains of the absence of cultivated and philosophical Christian missiona- ries in Japan.
