1926. In Oregon the vote in 1884 stood
%, l76 nays to 1929 yeas; in 1900 it
was %, 29s nays to 26,625 yeas. These
figures certainly indicate growing
sentiment in favor of this reform and
encourage the hope that within few
years it may be adopted in each of the
states mentioned.

BRUCE SEES 0DELL.
BOTH IN FULL HARMONY.
Plat Is Uitb Thcm-No Admission
That Mr.. Bruce May Resign.

Albany Nov 2S.-Anong the political callers
upon Governor Odeu this morning were NJ Linn
Bruce, chairman of the New-York Cously Re
publican Committee. and Senator Zion r.
Brown.
Mr.. Bruce was with the Governor at least an
hour. and at 1:30 went to luncheon with him al
the executive mansion. The talk evidently was
upon conditions in the Republican party in New
York City and County. Governor Oden, when
asked for a statement, merely said:
I'VE are not through talking yet"
Mr.. Bruce said: My business with the,6sov-
ernor is in the interest Of the party"
Have you any intention OF resigning as
county chairman" he was asked.
Nobody has suggested it to me yet" he
replied.
Mr.. Bruce remained with the Governor until
time to catch the 4 80 train for New-York and
their conference earnest and detailed. AZ
terward Mr.. Bruce said:
II came UP here at the request Of Governor
Odell to discuss the interests of the Republican
party in New York County. We covered much
ground in the hours that we were together"
Did you discuss any changes in the personnel
OF the local orga nization?' he was asked
GOVERNOR AND PLATT.
No It is too early for any discussion Of that
character"
Mr.. Bruce declined to speak about any request
or hint looking to his own retirement as head of
the county committee but seemed TO have no
desire to give the impression that he would
retire.
THE Governor and Senator Platt." said Mr..
Bruce, ARE entirely in harmony in the desire to
take such measures as will result in the bring
ing out of the largest possible number of votes
for the Republican ticket next year, and I don't
hesitate to say that conference to-day was
directed entirely toward that end"
Mr. Bruce said this was the first time he had
seen Governor Odall since the Governors recent
visit TO Washington
IN ACCORD. SAYS ODELL-
Governor Odell. when asked as to the long in
terview said:
Mr.. Bruce and discussed at much length the
condition of the party in New-York City 1t
would be ridiculous to assume that az the first
conference we could arrive at any definite idea.
Or conceive any distinct plan for Improvement
or for REORGANIZATION. II is sufficient for me to
saw that Mr. Bruce and I are in perfect har-
rnony so far as matters now are concerned and
that we shall so work along is my present
idea"
Was Mr.. Bruce asked to resign or has he Of
fered TO resign?" was asked
at haven't asked him to do so. and he has not.
so far made any application IN that direction.
The work of the County Committee from now on
will be arduous, and, OF course, II Mr. Bruce
feels he cannot assume ii, that Is his affair."
Governor Odell closed the conversation by re-
heating: Mr.. Bruce and I are in thorough
harmony, and whatever is done viii be with his
full consent

TUG CATCHES ST. PAUL.
Ne5Dly Married Couple Missed Liner
at Pier.

Because the bridegroom preferred to talk for
some minutes with the minister, instead Of
Fastening to the brides SIDE yesterday. the
couple nearly missed part of their honeymoon
The St Paul had just cast off from her pier, and
swung out into the North River, when cab
with its horses smoking and painting dashed
on the pier A man. followed by a woman iI
travelling costume, sprang out, seized a few
pieces Of hand luggage, and made dash for the
gapeplank To their dismay they found that the
ST Paul was about q hundred feet or more out
into the stream, somewhat further than the
young man cared to jump. incumbered as he
was with a wife and baggage.
The young man bit off, several words under
his rnustache. and looked glum- He did not LOOK
any happier when the young woman said:
There. Tom told you that we would miss
the boat il you kept talking TO the minister
II serves you ,just right for leaving me TO talk
10 that man when we had just been married by
him
The young man didn't answer. but started OF
on q hunt for some one who would put him on
the boat After some search he found tow
boat whose captain was willing 10 chase the ST
PAM for no uncomfortable fee. The boat caught
M with the liner when she was well down the
bav- and the couple climbed aboard and disap-
reared quickly to get away from the passen-
gers. who had watched their ascent OF the lad

PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.
Did Not Suggest Displacement Of
PLatt as Leader.
IFRou TIE TRIBUNE BURsAU.1

Washington, Nov 2S.-The apparently con-
certed effort TO make it appear that there still
remains friction and resentment between Sen
ator Plat and Governor Odell is regarded by
rerscns in Washington who are familiar with
the details Of the Platt-OdeI conference as
simply an attempt to make trouble where none
exists and as wholly unfounded in fact Most
of the reports which have gained circulation
bear on their face the evidence that they are
the product OF vivid irnaginations. for they in
no way resemble the facts It may be authori-
tatively stated that there was no mention OF
particular appointments at the now famous
White House dinner. no reference 20 the New
York Senatorship. and no suggestion Of sup
planting Senator Plat as the party leader.
Even the conditions which led up to the dinner
were not out Of the ordinary. IN the admin
istration of Mayor Low the Republican party
had certain interest in the affairs OF the mu-
nicipality. with the succession OF Mayor Nc
CIellan there viii be a change, and it was the
conviction of the party leaders that perfect har-
rnony should exist between Washington and Al
bany To that eld Governor OdelI was re-
QueSted to come to Washington and confer with
the President and Senator Platt Although
there had been soma friction between the two
New York leaders, a brief review of the situa-
ton and the necessity Of subordinating ali per-
sonal differences TO the good Of the Republican
party IN NeW-6OTE became OBVIOUS ana DOLn
the Senator and the Governor assured the PreSi-
dent that they would work together for the good
OF the party 10 which they have both long been
loyal
With regard to the federal patronage it may
be said that the President believes that under
that provision Of the constitution which provides
that such appointments shall be Filed with the
advice and consent of the Senate" II IS MS duty
TO consult the Senator's from New-YOrk regard
ing the personality Of federal officehOlders. his
one memorable stipulation being that they shall
be men Of unquesJonable integrity and ample
ability In a word they must be appointees
who will reflect credit on the administration
Governor Odel has promised 10 use al his en-
ergy 10 further the interests Of the party IN
New-York Senator Platt viii do the same
There is no change in the respective standing OF
the two men Under these circumstances, II IS
obviously with malicious intent that certain re-
ports purporting to show that Governor Odell
has succeeded Senator Platt as party leader IN
Nev-York State that Senator PIatt has
"downed" Governor Odeu. etc. have been cir
culated and the hope is expressed by those IA
nniIiar with the situation that the Republicans
of New-York will not permit themselves TO be
misled by stories written or told with only that
end in view.

TRAIN WENT OYER HIN.
Brakeman Fell Through Bet1Ceen
RaiLs-Not Seriously Hurt.

Freehold, y. J.. Nov 28-SpaGord Hanmell
a passenger brakeman on the Pennsylvania
Railroad was jolted nom his train last night.
and three coaches passed over him. but he es-
caped with few bruises. Hammell stepped on
the platform OF the passenger coach next to the
engine just as the train was slowing up az Har-
per's crossing. without warning the engine
driver applied additional steam, and the sudden
start caused Hammell TO pitch headIong be-
tween the cars, between the rails. Stunned by
the fall, he lay motionless. and the train passed
over him.
The fagman at the crossing saw the brake
man lying between the tracks a few minutes
after the train had passed He went to him
expecting 10 find a mangled form. Hamnel's
face was badly lacerated. and his head and body
bruised. but he was not seriously hurt
