Chairman c. w. Hackett. Edward Lauterbach,
delega ates-at-large: Reuben L. Fox Dwight A.
Lawrence and other funereai managers moved
in and out on tiptoe. speaking In mufied tones
like undertakers When the friends Of the dead
man are assembling.
IT'S no use, boys" said Lauterbach, to q few
Of the faithful who had huddled around him
hoping to catch an encouraging word. The bat

Mr.. Platt went to Washington on Saturday
and labored all that night With Senator Quay.

he had already given the Pennsylvania candi.
date why they should die together in the last
anti-McKinley ditch. Mr. Platt hoped that he
had made some impression upon the Keystone
Senator. but he was not exuitant when he got
back to New-York on Sunday. Indeed. there
were rumors that Mr.. Quay had told Mr.. Patt
that to continue the contest against Mckinley
was useless and senseess. and that the best
thing for Platt to do to follow Quays ex.
ample and go to Canton
THE FAILURE OF HIS VISIT.
The utter failure Of Plattie mission to Washing.
ton came out in the dispatches from that city
Yesterday. Mr.. Platt met at his breakfast-tabls
these startling headlines from Washington:
Quay Comedies McKiney's Nomination" In the
article which followed 1t asserted that Sc T.
tor Quay had furnished table. which was given
showing that McKinleys vote on the first ballot
in the ST. Louis Convention would not be less
than 40 or about twenty more than enough to
nominate him, and that Mr.. Quay had added:
You cannot tell how many more will fall inH
line during the rocall'
The news "fabbergasted" Mr.. Platt, to use the
elegant language OF one OF his duly ordained re-
tainers. He told numerous friends that the state
ment was wholly at variance with what Mr.. Quay
had EXPRESSED 10 him on Saturday night. ~
Br'er Hackett's suggestion Mr.. Patt. as sooh -
he left his breakfast ROOM telegraphed senator
Ouav at Washington asking him II he nad au-
thorized the statement which gave up the ngnt
against Mckinley. ,
At a late hour last night Mr.. Platt was stu
looking for an answer from Quay Al ieass
nothing could be learned from Mr. Piatt ABOUT
any reply. and Mr.. Lauterbachs admission tnas
the "iig was up" was taken by the boys OF
the machine es an intimation that the time hao
/ come for throwing up the sponge
Some OF the workers In the Platt harness were
d,snosed to denounce Senator Quay as person
who had PLAYED a bunco game on the artiess anu

| disposed to lock upon the matter In very on,
rerent lignt They said that II Nr Platt na1
been half farseeing and had possessed ''t,o

publican machine in New York would not De In
its present state Of wreck and ruin
