NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-There are some
New Workers who prophesy that Senator
Platts career as political leader will be
found to have ended when Tammany won
out in this years municipal victory. But
those most familiar with political history
and the personally of Mr.. Plat declare
that he is certain 10 be a figure among
New York Republicans as long as mis-
health holds out. Others wonder how
General Tracy feels toward the man who
induced him 10 become candidate. These
may rest assured that the bonds of friend
ship between the General and the Sena-
tor are altogether too strong to be rup-
tured by one political defeat.
They are both natives Of Osweeo, the
courthouse village Of Tioga county, and
they have been much Ike Damon and
Pythias i'm their devotion TO each other
ever since their salad days. There was
time in their early youth, however,
when Platt was mixing drugs with NOR
tar and pcstle and Tracy was beginning
his career as n lawyer. with the amhi-
tious purpose OF winning the district
attorneyship Of the county. that they
looked somewhat askance at each other.
In those days they were both great
beaux. Tioga county was never the home
OF many very wealthy families. but forty
years ago there was decidedly exclusive
circle within It's boundaries. This circle
naturally centered in Oswego. and as

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
William Of Orange chose for his motto
"Accipit non rapuit." which the pious
Dean Swift wittily translated-"the Re-
ceiver Is worse than the thief.
Notwithstanding the intense loyalty Of
the Colony and its Cavaliers 10 the
Stuarts, William and Mary soon became
almost universally popular on this side
of the water Witness the names be
slowed in their honor: Williamsburg,
William and Mary College. King William,
King and Queen. and Orange Counties
IL indeed these be all. And so when the
ATTEMPTED assassination failed. the able
Wing leaders made a singularly skillful
use of the popular Indignation aroused by

vast club for the defense OF the order or
succession with which were inseeparably
combined the dearest liberties of the Eng
