PLATT NOT NEEDED At ALBANY.
Police Reorganization BIll Said to he Dead
State nud National Politics.

Police Reorganization Bill Said to BE Dead
State and National Politics.
Mr.. Platt was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last
night. Republican State Committeeman Frank
S. Witherbce of Port Henry was in Albany on
Monday. and got the impression that Mr.. Platt
was to be there. But tho visit was not neces-
sary, inasmuch as Mayor Strong had approved
the Bipartisan Police bill. Most Of the Sena-
tors will be hero to-day, anyhow.
According to what could be ascertained last
night, the Police Reorganization bill is dead.
Senator Coggeshall. the principal kicker against
it, may be in town to-day or tomorrow and he
may not. II he comes every effort will be made
to induce him to change his mind and voto for
tho bill without his pct clause, the right of ap-
peal for discharged police officers. Even II
CogReshall can be won over, it was said last
night, Senator Owens OF Kings will stand out.
The defeat of the Greater New York bill was
not surprising. There was q story last night to
the effect that efforts will be made to bring it to
the front agnin. but the best informed Re-
publicans were skeptical.
The Republicans in town had something to
say about the Republican State ticket which is
to be nominated this fall. There is a difference
ofo opinion ,ii between the platt Republicans % and
Frank Hiscock. tho nephew Of ex-senator Frank
ceed Attorney General Theodore E. HANCOCK.
The Platt people said that Mr.. Hancock will be

Coy. Morton will have great majority Of the

will divide with President Harrison the support
Of the South.
Gov. Morton. on his visits to New York county
within the last two months. made friends with
Republicans closely associated with Mayor
Strong, who himself has been believed to favor
Gov Mckinley. As for Thomas B. Reed of
Maine. 1t is conceded that he will have the sup
port Of Maine and part of the other New
England States.
Tho fight for the delegates to the next Ma
tonal Republican Convention has opened earlier
than usual. There is not u move made at AL
bany which does not have n bearing on IL. Gov
Morton within the last three weeks has had
very interesting visitors from the South. The
Morton Platt people just at the moment seem
to be just a little ahead Of the Strong Mckinley
game.
