WEARY OF POLITICS.
Senator Plntt, of New York, Declares
Positively That He VIII Not lie
Candidate for Reelection.

New York, June Ex-senator Thorn
as C. Platt will not accept a reelec-
tion to his seat in the United States
senate as n representative of New
York when his term expires on March
4, 1908. If it were possible, Senator
Platt would relinquish the senator
ship to-day. Because of physical in
firmities and domestic bereavement
he wishes to retire. This statement
comes from the lips of Senator Platt
himself. When the announcement
was made it caused great astonish-
ment, coming so soon after Presi-
dent Mckinley had made his declara-
tion that he would refuse third
term.
Senator Platt was in the corridor
of the Fifth Avenue hotel for short
time Saturday night, having returned
from Buffalo, where he visited the
Pan-American exposition. He talked
for few minutes on general topics,
and when spoken to about the pleas
ant duties of the United States sena-
torship, said 81 don't like it. Just
as soon as my term is up Pm going to
retire. / shall not go back to the
United States senate again." 1t was
not denied by friends of the senator
that he is in feeble health. He has
suffered through the recent death of
his wife, and those who have watched
him closely of late are of opinion that
he feels he is unequal to the task of
carrying the burden of politics any
longer.
1t is expected that there will be
scramble for the position which SEN
ator Platt has announced his inten-
tion to vacate. Vice President Roose-
velt, it was said, would probably be
one of the aspirants, as it is believed
he would be willing to vacate his po-
sition for the more important place,
as the senatorship from this state
is considered.
