publican leaders that Mr.. Low rs going to recos-
nize the Republican organization TO the extent
which Senator Platt said Mr.. Low promised 10
do at the conference which the two men had
soon after the election. At that time the SEN
ator said:
NV conference with the Mayor-eect has been
exceedingly satisfactory Mr.. Low assured me
that in the matter of appointments he would
treat the Republican organization not only just
y but literally"
What has operated most 20 quiet the sus-
picions of the timcrous Republican leaders
was the report which went out yesterday, that
Mr. Low was contemplating appointing an or
Ranization Republican to the presidency OF the
Park Board. The fact that the Mayor-eiect
is. indeed. considering such an appointment, was
learned by a Tribune reporter good author

publican from The Bronx, and Democrat from
Brooklyn Up to yesterday the slatemakers nad
