qua: Epenetus Howe. of Tioga Philip Gerst Of
Erie. and S. Otis Cutler. of Rockland. Senators
Coggeshan and Raines and Assemblyman Howe
had conferences with Mr.. Platt yesterday
Platt as well az most Of his adherents was
moody and uncommunicative yesterday. They
were able to see little that was encouraging for
the future Of the Platt machine. The Senator'S
named contented themselves with repeating the
statements of Tieutenant-Governor SaxtOn,
Speaker Fish and other statesmen on Saturday
that the Iexow bills would become laws as soon
ms Senator Robertson was able to appear In his
seat. His vote will give them the seventeen af-
firmative votes required to pass the bills.
How about the Police Magistrates bill to en-
able the city to get rid OF the Tammany Police
Justices" Senator CoggcshaI Was asked last
evening.

dietary Committee has this bill in his keeping. and

agrees that It shall bo reported.
