ODELL HAD HIS WAY.
Candidate OF Senator Plat for Lieutenant
Governor of New York Was Forced
20 Quit tho Race

Saratoga, n. Y. Sept. 24.-After
one of the most exciting episodes
in the history of New York politics,
George r. Sheldon was forced to
retire from the race for lieutenant
governor before the republican con-
vention. This announcement was
made at two o'clock this morning
after a two-hours' consultation be-
tween Gov. Odell, Senator Platt and
other leaders in Platt's cottage. The
fight on Sheldon was led by Lieut..
Gov. Timothy L. Woodruff, but Sem
ator Platt early in the evening de.
clared Sheldon was in the race to
stay and that he (Platt) would give
Mr.. Woodruff "a little lesson in poll
tics as well as in good manners"
1t was then that Gov. Odell was sum-
moned from Albany for consultation
and he arrived here at ten o'clock
last night on q special train. Gov.
Odell insisted that Mr.. Sheldon's
candidacy would jeopardize the whole
ticket. The governor added that he
had selected Mr.. Sheldon for the
place and was his close personal
friend, but had reached the conclu-
sion that it was best Mr.. Sheldon
should retire.

prevent, by it's very presence, the
continuation of hostilities along the

soon bring them to halt altogether;
that the force has been sent there
