The fate of the Greater New-YOrk bill, so far
as the Legislature is concerned, will be settled

some signs Of increasing opposition to the Dill

Indications are that Platt has sufficient power
to drive it through again. but not, of course
without the aid of Tammany votes. The Tam
many Assembly men will doubtless vote just as
the Tammany Senators did, Notwithstanding
the talkain which Mr.. Stanchfeld has been in
dulging. And IL appears. too, that no special
significance attaches to the opposition to the
bin made By Congressman Odell, who Is under
stood TO be "Platt's man" for the nomination
for Governor this year Certainly he still stands
high in Platt's favor, and the suspicion that his
attitude on the Greater New-YOrk scheme has
been assumed simply for effect on the Rcpubli-
cans Of Brooklyn Is not violent one. 1t Is not
certain yet that Governor Morton will sign the
bill IL II reaches him, but far as can be judged
the Republican Boss is not worrying on that ac-
count.
