now Plat goes back to the seat which
he relinquished voluntarily in his great
conflict with Garfield and Blaine, which
he tried to regain as a vindication Of
his course and failed, and which now
comes back to him without an effort

Few men who played an active part
In the tragedy of 1881 remain.
Garfield is dead, stricken down by
the bullet of an assassin, whose weak
brain was turned by that fierce squab-
BILE over spoils. Blaine is dead a dis
appointed man. Conkling is dead, hav-

hands of it forever. Arthur is dead,
having carried with him to his grave
his disappointments. Cornell has dis

PLATT A BIG MAN NOW
But Plat remains. Hale and hardy,
he seems to be in the very zenith of his
power. He has a governor who is in
sympathy with him and his state
machine. He calls a legislature his
own. He calls at least twenty-six of
the thirty-four members Of congress
from his state his own. No man can
equal him in the extent of his power
for the absoluteness of his political
reign. Conkling never reached it, nor

years old. He had been in politics a
good many years. He had been county
clerk of his county and had been elect
ed to congress from that district in
1872 and again in 1874. He had been a
delegate to a great many national CON-
ventions and had won certain amount
of notoriety throughout the country for
the speech which he made at the
Rochester convention, over which he
presided, in 1878, In which he attacked
the administration of President Hayes,
and, with great bitterness, censured
him for his alleged treachery to the
Republican organization of the state
of New York. That speech showed the
aggressive character Of the man and
attracted close attention to him from
the friends of Arthur, Conkling and
Cornell. Plat had been a delegate to
the national convention of 1880 and was
one of the famous 306 who supported
Grant and went down with him on the

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 26.-The chamber was
supposed to have adjourned till Monday but
the cash wheat men had too many cars on
track this morning to allow them to be neg
igent as to the interests Of their clients
in the country. AS a consequence they were
samples to sell as on any day for weeks
past. Buyers were few, however, and those
that were present felt very Indifferent about
buying, making 1t very dull market in
deed. There were few sales made at
Thursdays prices, and others were sold SUBJ
ject to the conditions of the market on Mon
day, and some held over, holders preferTing
to pay demurrage charges for one day than
to sell at prices offered. There was no news
of any sort from outside points, the day
being observed a holiday in all exchanges
Of the country, as we'll as those Of England
and the continent.

In the meantime the state had begun
to go Republican and Platt had some
favors to give his faithful followers.

his leadership was threatened was In

HIS BOSS SHIP" COMPLETE.
So now he stands the undisputed
boss" He is the same aggressive, uu-
compromising Republican that he was
when Conkling called him "a stalwart."
He believes as much in the principle
that to the victors belong the spoils
as he did in 1881, when Garfield sought
to reward the Blaine faction by giving
the collectorshfp to Robertson over
the protest Of the regular organization.
He has the same bluntness of protest.
His remarks about Mckinley last May
read very much like his remarks abou.
Hayes when he presided over the
Rochester convention in 1878.
With all his faults, he has never
been charged with being in politics fol

made by his political opponents. He
has seen men sell legislation at Albany
and Washington and put the proceeds
in their own pockets. Not so with

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-The New York FL
nancier says: The statement of the associated
banks Of New York city for the week end
ing Dec. rs covers but five business DAYS
and reflects above everything else the listless
condition incident to the week in stock ex-
change and commercial circles Despite the
calls for currency from this center which
came in after the several large Western fail
ures, the banks report an increase Of 81, 597. :
QUO In cash, the gain of $2,08O, 600 in legal
tenders having been Offset by a decrease of
$4S0,600 in specie. There was expansion of
$685., 300 in loans, which, coming artery the
increase Of $s,512,O00 for the week previous
and the large gains of preceding weeks shows
the dullneSs into which the market has fallen.
But the very moderate increase reported was
made at advanced interest figure, the eff
feet OF business troubles in the West and
the. approaching January settlement period
having operated to raise rates on both call
and time loans. AS the total loan increase
of S45, 49,, 600 since Nov. 27 has been made
at constantly reduced quotations, the ad-
vance for the current week does not appear
logical, although it is generally thought that
the f1rmer tone will show relaxation until
after the first of the year. In the mean
time the excess of idle money in New York
grows with every statement, the surplus re-
serve Of 1874, 800 900 now reported being the
highest since Sept. Z. 1895, excepting, of
course, the several weeks preceding the
February bond loan, when the New York
banks were accommodating specie.
The conditions surrounding these two periods
OF high surplus, however, are largely differ
ent. On Sept. Z, 1895, the loans of the New
York banks were $31, 900, 900 higher than at
present, and deposits were $51, 000, 600 greater.
AS a large proportion of the loans made by
the New York banks since election have been
on sterling exchange, it would be seen that
the course of the money market Is now de-
pendent in part on developments affecting
the price Of sterling, and further strengthen
ing in the price will doubtless tend toward
maintaining better interest rates here. At
any rate, there Is reason to look for this re-
suit during the first part Of the coming year,
and it is perhaps due to these anticipations
that the rate Is now strengthening, although
the accumulation Of idle money continues.

four games OF the eighteen played. From
