Will Go to the Senate From New
York
REPUBLICANS IN CAUCUS
Nominate Him by an Almost Unanimous
Vote
On the Present Occasion Mr.. Platt Will
Not Resign, Even If He Can't
Control State Patronage.
Associated Press Special Wire


ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. A.-Thomas c..
Platt, 142; Joseph H. Choate, Z; absent,
g. This was the result of the Republi-
can caucus for United States senator
tonight
Few men have been more in the public
eye during the last fifteen years than
Thomas Collier Platt. His entrance into
national prominence in 1881 was under
conditions so unusual that his earlier
public career and prominence as a
banker and merchant have been gener-
ally forgotten. Unable, on account of
i'll health to pursue his college course
beyond the sophomore year at Yale.
Mr.. Platt took up a business career
which led the way to the presidency of
large bank at Tioga, N. Y, and to a
successful venture in the lumber trade
in Michigan. In 1872, when 80 years old,
he was elected to the United States
senate, in succession to Francis Ker-
nan. In May of the same year, in con-
sequence of quarrel with President
Garfield over the distribution of patron
age in New York state, Senators Conk-
ling and Platt resigned from the SEN
ate, expecting to he reelected, instead
of which the places they had vacated
were given Messrs. Lapham and Miller.
Mr. Platt held the office of commits
sioner of quarantine of New York city
from 1880 to 1888, when he was removed
by proceedings instituted on account of
