NEW YORK's REPUBLICANS.
They want PIatt For Governor But
He VIII Not Run.

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 23.-The guberna-
torial situation is practically unchanged.
that is 50 far as the probable action Of
the 75S delegates to the republican state
convention is concerned. Everything de-
pends absolutely upon the decision Of
Thomas c. Platt.
There is no doubt of the fact that Mr.
Platt is close to the hearts Of all the re-
publican local leaders, and they have near
ly all pressed him to accept the nomina-
tiOn for governor. Mr.. Platt has again
and again frowned down this testimonial
to his leadership on the part of his
friends but many of them, seemingly,
have never been in the habit OF taking
NO" for an answer. So the question Of
Mr. Platts nomination was discussed with
renewed vigor to-day, and was the princi-
pal topic of interest.
Mr.. Platt however, was firm, and said
that no friend Of his would further agitate
the matter. The reorganization men have
been familiar with this attitude of Mr
Platt. and il was to the surprise of every
one that they Joined the Plat men In TAX
ing up Mr.. Platt as a candidate.
The friends of Lieut. Gov. Saxton and
State Controller Roberts, when asked for
an expression of their views, said that
Mr.. Platt will undoubtedly get the vote
of every delegate in the convention should
he consent to run.
Messrs. Aldrich and Fish and the other
candidates said Mr.. Piatt was the only
man in whose favor they would with
draw from the race. All these expressions
were made known to Mr.. Plat. II did not
however. alter his decision. His declna-
tdon TO consider the matter was more en-
phatic than ever, and he refused TO any
longer discuss 1t. Mr.. Aldrich went to
Mr.. Platt several weeks ago and asked
him If he would advise him to continue in
his canvas for delegates or withdraw.
The friends of Mr.. Aldrich assert that
Mr.. Platt said to him: II would not with
draw II I were you
On this suggestion, Mr. Aldrich kept on
in his hunt for delegates, and claims to
have the support of nearly S25 of the SIS
reorganization delegates. 1t win take $50
votes to nominate.
Hon. Hamilton Fish, the speaker Of the
assembly, is as confident as ever Of his ul-
innate success. He says that he has
large number of delegates at his COM
mand, but that no one man has enough to
secure the nomination. He stated that he
had no fear of Mr.. Aldrich's candidacy,
and that he had reasons for being conf
dent of the result.
Many of the Delegates express the opin-
ion that Wadsworth will carry off the
nomination.
Secretary of State John Palmer, has tele-
graphed that he will be a candidate for
governor before the convention.

RAILROAD DROTHERHOODs.
Meeting of the knights of the Lever
and the COrd-A little Row.

Terre Haute, Ind, Aug. 23.-The union
meeting of the railroad brotherhoods to-
day was made sensational by reason of
the fact that the local trades unions they
invited to attend, declined, and did so I'm
such terms as to cause Chief Arthur Of
the engineers, and Grand Master Sar-
geant of the firemen to make bitter re-
plies TO the assaults on the old brother
hoods.
There were 400 or 800 railroad
men present. The Terre Haute trade un-
ion were were not represented by as many
as a dozen.
Grand Master Sergeant showed his feel
ings in the intense way IN which he de-
Tended his organization from the implica-
tion that It had not been fraternal in its
relations with the trade unions. Sar-
geant said the fireman's brotherhood
takes no exception to the views Of others
in regard TO labor but It will not permit
to 20 unchallenged the assertion that Il Is
lying and disgraced.
Chief Arthur followed Sergeant. begin
ing with the assertion that he was there
TO defend the engineer. He had seen the
statement that he had said the brother
hood Is not a labor organization, and he
wanted to stamp IL as a wicked falsehood.
He has always said II was a labor organi-
zatfon, composed of men, and represent
ing a branch OF labor he considered to be
skilled labor.
It is true. ii is confined TO a class OF
labor. If all ella sses Of labor were thor
oughly organized IN their respective
classes there would be no difficulty in
each securing its demands.
Mr. Arthur said: II advise the men to
shUn saloons and gambling dens. If that
is preaching aristOcracy, / am an aristo-
crat If ! had my way I would close all
the saloons, and there will be no occa sion
for a Kelley institute. The working men
are their own worst enemies, but the
brotherhoods are making better men OF
the men in the train service. IT, he said
the engineers brotherhood has failed TO
give protection to its members, where
ever II has so failed, II has been because
of treachery Of the men themselves on
the road where the grievance existed. He
challenged any one to truth
fully contradict this statement.
This was in reference to the statement
made recently that thirty engineers
had been discharged from the Plant sys
tem as part Of the policy Of the managers
Of that system 10 drive organized labor
out Of the system, and no attempt was
made by Mr.. Arthur TO protect them.
