IRON TIE TRIBUNE BUREAU

washington Nov. 24-The storm clouds that
,.,,r over the NeW-York State Republican or
.-.-,sstion have been dissipated. and The widely
,srslssa differences between Senator Platt and
governor oden have been entirely eliminated
There is no reason TO deny that there existed a
condition under which the relations between the
Senator and the Governor were not all thae
could have been hoped for by the friends of the
parties in The case, but all differences have been
adjusted by conferences here to-day:
Governor Oden arrived in this city early this
7no-r.ng. and about noon went to the Capitol.
There he met Colonel Dunn. chairman Of the
Republican state Committee. and they talked
over the situation. Later Tie Governor went
70 rhe White House and had a talk with the
President After his visit he went 10 che A.
lington hotel and had talk with Senator
Platt AS result Of these consultations the
entire situation was clarified and SO. when the
President, Senator Plat. Colonel Dunn and
Governor odeI met at the White House for din
Ter an understanding had been reached. and
The meeting was Z the most cordial character.
The enemies Of :he Republican party in New.
York who hoped for internecine warfare which
would bring about Republican defeat viii be dis
appointed when they learn all the facts concern
ing what occurred here to-day. Il may be safely
stated that there has never been a tine within
-he last two years when Governor Oden, Senator
Plat and the other leaders Of the state organ
ization n New-York were so thoroughly har-
rnonious as they are tonight. Whatever differ
enoes may have existed are absolutely settled.
and those who have asserted that Governor Oden
was trying 10 wrest the leadership Of the State
organization from Senator Fiatt must be put
down as false prophets.
Governor Oden firmly believes that in many Of
its rami6cations the state organization can he
greatly strengthened especially in the city o.
New York. II may be stated that Senator
Platt after fun and free discussion Of the short
couirgs Of The various leaders. has come TO
agree with Governor Odell. and within q short
zine steps viii be taken TO eliminate the
worthy leaders and place on guard men who
can be trusted absolutely The charge against
these leaders is not treaoherv. but ineonnpe-
rence. Governor Odel believes that men who
can produce results should be in charge. and not
men Who sre primary fighters
There has been more or less talk about the
selection Of George r. Sheldon as New-York
member Of the Republican National Committee.
10 succeed the late Frederick s. Gibbs. There
IS 10 doubt that. had Senator Fiatt and Cover
nor Oeeu talked the matter over, the selection
might have been held IN allegiance. AS il is.
Governor Oden realizes that Mr.. Sheldon was
