REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP.
Some Highly Sensational Statements and
Opinions.

The constant support which The New-York Sun
has given for many years to the senior Senator
from this State makes the following article which
appeared yesterday its editorial page, piece OF
such striking political news that no newspaper
discharge its duty TO its readers without noting
it, no matter what people may think of the start
ling opinions It expresses whether to Senator
PIatt. 10 Governor Odell. 70 President
Roosevelt;
It is stated on all sides In the press Of city and
State that Governor Odell is endeavOriug to GUST
Senator Plat from the leadership Of the Repuol-
can party There ts not word of truth in It.
Governor OdeI has Ousued Senator PIatt from
the leadership, and Of his standing as such there
remains not a Vestige- And think II very
proper that the Senator should be sUpplauted- His
many and growing tndrmittes have long since IN
fitted him for the duties and responsibilities of the
post and il was essential that ne should give way
TO some one whose qualifications were more apprO-
pirate.
Senator Plat has been put aside. with a certain
affectatou Of gentIeness and consideration because
the President, with his accustomed credulity, has
fallen a ready victim to the persUasioUs Of Gov
ernor Odeu than whom worse a more fatal
