Thomas G.. Platt Reiterates He !
Not a Candidate For
Governor,
Though the Prize Is Easily Will
in His Grasp, If He Would
Take 1t.
Too Shrewd, However, To Be De
ceived by the Proffer of His
Enemies.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug 25.-"I am
of the same mind as when l told the
Associated Press that l was not can
didate for governor, and that l would
not accept the Office" said Mr.. Thomas
C. Platt. The statement in itself is
emphatic enough, but still it did not
succeed in putting an end to the cam
paign Of Mr.. Platt's friends, headed by
Edward Lauterback, Cornelius Van
Cott and Congressman Quigg. "Mr.
Platt said that he will not accept the
nomination." said Candidate Hamilton
Fish, land l believe he means it. II,
however. his name is mentioned, mine
will be withdrawn"
May BE Forced to Take 1t.
The interesting situation is very
much similar to that existing here the
day before the Democratic state conven-
ton of 1894 met in the old skating
rink. Mr.. Platt finds himself in the
same relative position as was Senator
Hill ut that time, not desiring the nom
nation, but having it forced upon him.
Mr.. Lauterbach said:
1T certainly would be presenting the
issue squarely to the people to nominate
Mr.. Platt and those who are opposed to
him can display their actual strength.
Then, too. there is an element of ma
tionalism in the proposition to name
Mr.. Platt. 1t is contended that MIR.
Platt, being on the ticket with Mr.. Nc
Kinley, would compel thorough sup
port of the national Republican candi-
date by the state organization, and that
the difference in the number of votes
cast for the state and national candi-
dates would display each mans rela.
tive strength or weakness.
One of Mr.. Platt's very closest friends
said:
..Mr. Platt will not accept the nomin-
alton. He is too shrewd a man to be
deceived by hand strokes and proffers
of assistance from temporarily cordial
enemies. He has not forgotten that the
same tender of assistance was made to
Mr.. J. Sloat Fassett in 1891, and he has
also not forgotten the kind OF support
Mr.. Fassett got
Ex-senator Fassett himself is here,
and he said:
"Mr. Platt would probably receive
equally as warm a reception from the
enemies of the state organization as got.
In any event it is not time for MIR.
Platt's name to be presented, as the
national campaign managers would
throw the entire weight Of the state
campaign on his shoulders"
OF the announced candidates, none is
willing to stand for the nomination II
Mr.. Platt can be induced to accept it.

and the outlay g. 1893.
The rank had made steady and
substantial growth. Some Of the di'
visions had not been able to hold to-

but the new divisions organized during
the financial depression were great

UPPER RED Hook, N. Y, Aug. "a
The fact that w. J. Bryan, Democratic
nominee for the presidency, will lunch
with Senator Hill, the leader of the
party organization in this state, became
known during the day to the little
party of politicians inhabiting the Red
Hook hotel and inspired more antici-
patory discussion among them than any
other incident of the candidates East

Every one assumes that Senator Hill
has resolved to support the nominee Of
the party else. they argue, he would
hardly invite him to sit at his table.
And the lunch is taken as a practical
announcement of Hills determination,
which is expected to be followed by a
more formal declaration Of the senator s
attitude. When Mr.. Bryan arrives in
Albany he will have
