DECISION OF MR. PLA1Ts SUNDAY
SCHOOL CLASS"
SOME OF THE PUPILS THINK 1T WOULD BE BAD
POLITICS TO TRY THE PATIENCE OF THE
PEOPLE FURTHER. so THE SCHEME TO
GRAB PATRONAGE FALLS THROUGH.
AT LEAST FOR THE PRESENT
Mr.. Platt did not look happy after the meet
ing Of his Sunday school class" which met 10
consider Greater New-York legislation yester-
day afternoon. He seemed to be oppressed with
that tired feeling" sometimes the result OF dis-
appointment and failure. He was averse 10
talking about what happened in the class, which
assembled as usual in Mr. Platt's apartments
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. III the correct Ver-
sion of what occurred was told, the teacher OF
the sunday-school class had number of un-
ruy pupils to deal with They not only talked
back" when the teacher attempted to instruct
them in their duties but they were so re-
bellious that the class narrowly escaped break
ing I'D in a row" Teacher Plat and Assistant
Teacher Lauterbach. to prevent open revolt on
the part of the pupils. had to abandon the les
son which they attempted to teach the class
yesterday.
The result Of yesterdays gathering at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel proved to be a turning down
OF the Platt-Lauterbach scheme to secure un-
limited patronage for the followers OF the
machine The Governors declaration that
there must be no supplementary bills establish
ing commissions under the Greater New-forK
bill and that the Legislature must ADJOURN
next Thursday as provided for in the joint reso-
luton which has been passed by both houses
was practically affirmed. There was talk about
tha for
commissions next year. but it was desultory
according to all accounts OF the conference
md no conclusions were reached.
