PLATT FOR SENATOR.
The New York Republican Will Succeed
Hill If He Desires.


ALBANY, Dec. 2S.-The state legislature
Of 1897 will be called together on Wednss-
day Of next week under more peculiar
circumstances as regards political con-
struction than any of its predecessors. The
Republicans in the two houses number
three to every Democrat, and this alone is
feature that has never been witnessed in
the political history of the stats All Of
the Democratic senator's come from below
the Harlem, and mono Of the upper coun-
tios have representative in that party's
ranks. Eleven of the fifty senators have
served In previous senates, and all have
served one year of their term In the as
sembly there are ffty-one new members.
or the thirty-fiye minority members
twenty-five are members of Tammany.
Next to the question Of a charter for the
greater New York comes the serious uues-
tlOn OF what amendments shall be made
10 the existing excise measure, known as
the liquor tax laws, and the disposition
and temper of those interested In it would
indicate bitter fight over every PROPOSE
tion.
The election Oh United States senator
to succeed Senator David B. Hill is rated
only third in Importance, because the issue
is practically settled, two.thirds at least
of the majority having pledged themselves
in writing TO accept Thomas b. Platt if
he shall desire it. The election takes place
in January, and, while there are several
candidates mentioned upon each side the
friction, unless it be in the Democratic
caucus, will be but of minor importance.
The candidacy of Mr. Joseph B. Choate is
being vigorously pushed, but 1t is not be-
lieved that even his most earnest friends
expect to any more than by that means
show their dislike to the candidacy of Mr..
Platt. 1t Is estimated that Mr.. Choate
will receive perhaps eleven of the 15O votes.

Senator Alrich of Pencader Hundred
and Senator Bob Handy Of Brhndywine
Hundred, met on the street in cur city. a
few days ago, and had a:brief Interchange
of opinions.
Whether Alrch promised to support
Handy for speaker, in case Alice shall be
seated, is not stated. OF course Handy
and Alrch disagreed OH the Senatorial
question two years ago, and the stubborn
ness of the Addicks and Higgins men
prevented an election for Senator, but
that Is no reason they should not be
friends now, as Handy claims to be as
good Republican as Alrich, notwj th !.
standing that ho was read out Of the
party.
Handy thinks he was right In voting
for Addicks and says had be been elected
Senator two years ago, the Republicans
would have now had the Governor,
Legislature, Congressman, and every
other position In tho state worth having.
Beside Anthony Higgins could have
been elected Senator IN place of Gray
two years hence.

men and not be like chidre Il, who If they
cannot have thoir own way In everything
Will pull down thsj house that gives

days before being picked up. The letters
had been opened the money inside taken
out, after which the thieves had dropped
the letters into the bay. Investigation
made at the postotlice confirmed the story.
The loss may reach thousands of dollars.
