Mr. pL47T SCORES AGAIN.

Mr.. Plat scored another victory last
night. His candidate for temporary chalr-
man of the Republican County commit
foo against Mr. Brookicld won by hand-
some majority. and the party organization
I'm this city. upon which the seal OF
repularity was placed last summertime organ
ization that was built up with such care ana
labor by the Committee of Thirty-is now I'M
dor tbc control Of the gentleman from lloga
Countv There can be no mistake on this point
The issue was perfectly clear and squarcly met
Mfr. Iauterbach. the successful aspirant for the
honor is simply tool OF Mr.. Plat. He will
represent the Boss in the committee In the same
vav that Mr. Murray represents him In the Po-
lice Board and Mr.. Payn in the Legislature.
This fact was thoroughly and generally under
stood The committee had. therefore, simply to
decide whether IT wanted Mr. Platt TO direct It's
affairs or not. Sixty-two members voted in the
negative. but cighty-fve expressed Willingness
TO take orders from him. and thus Mr. Platt
made good his promise 10 supplement MS capture
~ Kings County last week with that Of the
metropolis.
The result. while painful to the reputable clc-
mcnt Of the party here ana throughout inc
STATE. was not entirely unexpected. Certainly

faith in the professions II the dlscrcdied DIS
trict lenders the Anti-Machine people Were
coually crctlulous in accepting the reform pro
testations Of Mr. Plat. II Is not with the past
but the future that the friends OF decent poii-
ties should concern themselves. The people oi

against one another heretofore must come 10

TO establish.
II is n difficult task that confronts the reform
crs. but II has been successfully accomplished
again and again by the good men OF both par
ties 1t Is not yet three years since DaV" -
Hill had the entire delegation Of the state elect

months time remained TO crystalline the forces
against him. but It was done successfully. Mr.
Hill is an ADLER politician than Mr. flait. lie

stand the true sentiment ~ the people when II
was translated into practical form
