little OF what Mr.. Bliss has said to me through the
press and by his own letters. Now. Mr.. Bliss said
through the press of the city of NewYork and to
the public generally that Mr.. Platt talked about
boilers and the men who wish TO rule or ruin. He
has been the exponent OF the rule-or-ruin policy
since have known him. He boiled from Gar
field. from Arthur and Harrison. and he left the
organization in this city when II was rehabilitated
by the Committee of Seventy"
Let US listen q little further: 1T may be that
Republicans will submit TO the rule Of this
and his County Committee. and denounce every
one who opposes their demands as a boter and

held responsible" He says: There can be no es-

publican party" Now. gentlemen. It has made
some little difference in feelings around hero
