POLITICAL NOTES.

The confidence expressed by the machine leaders
I'm Governor elect Blacks fidelity to them Is GER
tainly remarkable They declare. not only In pri-
vate but publicly their absolute belief in the re-
appointment Of Jacob Worth as Kings County's
Clerk. and George w. Aldridge as Superintendent
OF Public Works and also in the certainty u
Louis F. Payns appointment as Insurance Super
intendent. with all the vast powers OF that ONCE.
And they do not hesitate to give the reason for
their faith. To this triumvirate. Payn. Worth and
Aldridge. they say Mr.. Black owes his nomination
Except for them he never would have been nomi-
mated They took him up and forced him through
the convention, notwithstanding the personal pref
ercnce expressed by Mr.. Platt himself and ma
jority OF his advisers for Mr. Odell Each member
OF the triumvIrate did his part but Mr. Puyn Is
declared to be the Caesar In the case. Weeks be-
fore the convention he went over to Brooklyn and
Jacob Worth. The result was. a combination. the
terms Of which were faithfully lived up to through
out tho proceedings at Saratoga They agreed to
stand together for George w Aldridge 80 long as
the Superintendent of Public Works was In the
field. but In case OF his withdrawal then Worth
was TO Join with Payn In Blacks behalf. and In
return Worth to receive Payn's and Aldridge's
support for Woodruff for Lieutenant Governor.
In addition. machine leaders are repeating how
P!atts own candidacy nearly upset all the plans OF
the triumv,rate and how he was persuaded to With
draw by Payn. Worth and Raines; how Odell's boom
