DISCORD THE FAMILY.

The discord existing In the Republican
party of New York, which appears to
be on the eve of breaking out In two
organizations. has Its origin. asserts the
Pittsburg Post, in the growing opposi-
ton TO the continued mastery CT the
Plat machine. BY fraudulent registra-
tion-which appears to be favorite de-
vice OF the Republican machine In
New York Philadelphia, and Pitts
burg-the Plat crowd secured control
of the party organization in New York
city. having previously established its
sway over the hayseed Republicans by
promise of the spols of the great city.
Now, In opposition to this, says the
Post, committee Of five hundred has
been constituted to expose and right the
wrong. This IT Is proposed to do by
repudiating the Plat organization and
forming an opposition one, with the in
tent Of breaking down the power of the
boss In the city and State. The New
York Tribune, commenting on the way
Plat obtained control of the party ma
chnery in the city, says:
These creatures OF fraud do net rep
resent us, nor any part of us, nor any
thing In which we believe, any more
than the camp followers and plunderers
In the wake of n great army represent
the cause for which stout men of higi,
principle make great sacrifices and lay
down their lives"
From the foregoing it appears that
the better element OF the Republica n
party in the Empire State" Is opposed
to the methods OF Boss Plat, and it is
not believe that his candidate. Gov.
ernor Morton, will receive the support
or many of that class for the Presidency
should he succeed in securing the nclmi.
nation, because they believe that the
fine hand Of Plat would have too much
to do in shaping his administrator,
should lie be elected.
