Senator Platt will return to Washington
this morning. Gov. Odell Is TO have a talk
with the Senator in Washington on Wednes-
day as to legislative and other policies.
Yesterday afternoon Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff
had long chat with Senator Plat at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, and later il was ascer-
tanned that there are exactly nineteen
hish-toned, eager. intelligent, straight,
blended and hopeful Republicans in the
borough of Brooklyn who desire to succeed
Col. Michael j. Dady on the Bureau of
Elections Board.
Mr.. Woodruff did not care to mention
NY fsanr-.. i.o saiy- said il.ai the Executive
Committee Of the X ngs County Republican
organization would meet on Tuesday
and might suggest n name for Mayor Low Is
consideration Most of the talk heard
favored the possible recommendation of
either Representative Henry Br.stow of the
Third Congress district or Representative
Henry A. Hamburg Of the Fourth Congress
district. both of whom met with unex-
pccted defeat TO- Sect on TO Congress.
Senator Platt ami MIR. Woodruff did not
care TO predict anything about the Mayors
posi- bl. :, lcCt ion.
Senator Platt and Mr.. Woodruff evidently
believe that Gov. Odell has not altered his
opinion a. TO the constitutionality of a con-
stabulary bill, and if two and two make
four. and five and four make nine, it is not
possible that tho Republican Legislature at
Albany this winter will NEEDLE with the
Police Department in New York city. 1t
is known that the Governor at one time
favored either metropolitan police bill or
n State constabulary Dill, along with Senator
Plat and other important Republicans but
after consulting with Attorney.G, neral John
{. Davies and other high legal authorities
the Governor would not proceed because
II had been warped into his brain that a
metropolitan police bill or state con-
stabuary bill would be unconstitutional
and bc eventually 80 declared by the courts.
Gov OIell viii outline hi, police policy
in hi, second inaugural message.
Nevertheless, the NepubilcaiIs who are
looking forward to the Mayoralty cam
paign of 1903 first, and 10 the Cub material
and Presidential campaigns Of 1894 second
are very much nctil"d over the admins
tratioE Of poi - at airs in New York city
since Mr.. Low became Mayor. Every day
the com nents of Republicans become more
pronouncel, and yet from the present
situation there does not appear 10 be any
remedy in sight.
Gov Odell and some Of III. friends have
had a talk a. 10 the conduct of certain
Democratic offic"holders at Albany dur
ing the recent CANT aigu. Some Of these
Democratic otiiceholdcr, outwardlv boosted
# their allegiance to Coler while taking
the bread Of the Republican State adj
miuistration. OF course, under the civil
vice rules that was the right of these
offic, holders AZ American citizens; hut
the Governor and his friends thirk tina,
while these of'IcCholdcrs should vote as
heir convictions demanded, IL Was not
necessary for them to chase around corners
az tell what great man Colcr would BE-
when h" occupied the eNccu'iNc chair
at Albany So a little angel whispered
'gsf night. and he was fully clothed be-, ause
f the stiff weather. but his brain was rot
,cuRosted. that Gov. Od'n and his ad-
Users i, end 20 get rid Of Democrats il

Gov. uurA, Of course, docs not feel very
pleasant over tho vote for lin on e.ectiou
day. He confidently predicted 20 hE

friends looked rather queer when The
SrN announced week before election DAY
that Gov. Odell would be r,a'e' ted hy not
less than $500 nor by more than l2.Uc0
plurality. Some Of Gov. Odell's friend,
who have talked with him lately about

pretty good journalism. but il was mighty
poor Republican politics" and nothing
could convince these gentlemen that 1t

As will be seen by the official canvass
published elsewhere Gov. Odelps plurality

Gov. Odell in political etiquette while in
the State comes first in the mention Of Re-
publican affairs IN the State Of New York.
