THE DISAPPOINTED
Opinions of Those Who Favored Other
Candidates Upon Yesterdays
Nominations.
Mr.. Plata Sontimenta,

Mr.. Platt's Sentiments.
Mr.. Platt was seen at the Southern
hotel last evening after the convention
and made the following statement:
Like rood soldier and good re-
publican / accept the situation and
will support the ticket heartily and
believe it will be elected. There has
been much in the contest to irritate
and dishearten the republicans who
have not been in accord with
the men who have become masters of
the situation. Our friends are satis-
fed with the results of their efforts in
compelling the adoption of a gold
standard platform. That is of more
Importance to the success Of the ticket
and the prosperity Of the nation than
all the rest. It is conceded that the
controlling element Of the New York
delegation led to the movement and
was instrumental in accomplishing
this object.
"As for the head of the ticket, no
one doubts that he will stand upon
the platform that the convention has
adopted, and carry out the principles
therein enunciated. Whatever may
have occurred in the past, feel conf
dent that he will govern himself by
the wishes of the people as so clearly
expressed in the gold standard plat
form.
THE only other thing that the con.
trolling element desired, which they
found attainable, was the naming of
a candidate from New York for the
vice-presidency. They would have ac-
complished that result had Gov. Nor
ton consented to the use of his name
for the second place after the conven-
tion declined to name him for the first
place. He would have consented to
the use of his name for the vice-presi.
dency in the interest of harmony
and the success of the ticket, but
be learned of the factious opposition
of small minority of the New York
delegation and wired peremptorily de-
clining to permit his name to 90 be-
fore the convention. We had a suf-
ficient number votes pledged to Sc
cure him the nomination, but on re-
ceiving his peremptory instructions
there was nothing for us to do, but to
support our neighbor, Garrett A. Ho-
bart, of New Jersey the most capable
and available candidate"
