Moreover it is stated in the outline
of the treaty, which report says Spain

What delicious humor T. c. Platt' S
friends have! Some of them say his
name wasn't presented for senator
because he wasn't a candidate and
when everybody knows that a man in
New York state who wanted to go to
the Legislature would not have been
permitted to do so in most instances
had it not been understood that he
was favorable to Platt's ambition. But
the humor. or rather the farcical
features of the opposition We're still
more ridiculous. OF course Plat won
and his opponent didn't get votes
enough to make a respectable protest.
We admire the grit of the seven who
stood out for Choate against the ire
mendous pressure, but we can't admire
campaign which could receive no
more support than that even under
fire. Either Mr.. Plat must be exposed
in the perpetuation of some awful
outrage that shall rouse the indigna-
ton of the public generally, and Mr.
Plat is not walking into that sort of
trap. or else his enemies must await
the natural order of events-every dog
has his day-or so to work and perfect
