Senator Platt was in reflective mood
Inst ninht at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Beside
hs armchair was bank Of Dutch tulips OF
striking hues He had talked business all
dsy and had had chat with Gov. Odell.
Senator Plat has been in Republican poll
,ics since Fremont's time: Fremont was not
elected.
4 have read Of Senator Hanna's desire
10 indorse President Roosevelt at the Ohio
State Convention next week. said the
senator. Il have lived some time, my
boy, and does it strike you that this new
situation may indicate that Ohio, after all
these wears. is to recognize the little State
Of New York; You remember that Grant
was born at Point Pleasant, Ohio; Hayes
was born in Delaware. Ohio Garfield was
born in Cuyahoga county. Ohio; Harrison
was born in North Bend. Ohio; and Mckinley
was born in Niles. Ohio.
.Mr. Lincoln was born in Kentucky.
Chester Arthur. who was Vice-Presi-
dent under Garfield and a candidate for
President, was born in Fairfield, Vermont.
President Roosevelt was born in New
York city, and he is without doubt cam
ddate for President next year.
The Presidents own State" continued
senator Platt, declared for him as the
candidate Of the party in 1904 at the State
convention in Saratoga last September.
have not changed my opinion for mo-
ment a. TO the Presidents availability next
year have believed all along, and am
now more than ever convinced, that the
President is to be nominated next year,
and unless the unexpected happens he
will be triumphantly elected.
Indeed, will put it stronger con-
Guided Senator Platt. Roosevelt will be
nominated by reclamation, just as Mckinley
was at Philadelphia in 1900"
Then there is nothing to be settled ex.
cept candidate for Vice PRESIDENT" Mr..
Patt was asked.
That is ALL replied Mr.. Plat.
Who is that man to BEL"
Give it up" replied Mr.. Plat.
1t may now be told with full authority
that Gov. Odell. notwithstanding any re-
ports to the contrary, in Washington or
Albany, Is not and will not be a candidate
for denomination for Governor next year.
Gov Odell haa not only told this to Senator
Platt, but to others OF his Republican friends.
and he has gone on TO say that when he
retires from the Office of Chief Magistrate
OF the State OF New York he Ia to come to
New York city and set up in business for
himself
Then who ia to be the Repu blioan
martyrs candidate for Governor next
year1. was the query heard at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel last night. The very general
answer was that possibly the party might
finite on Asdstant Treasurer Hamilton
Giah. Jr. Indeed, it may be said that that
70 the programme at this moment, az far
as any programme exists.
Concerning the situation in New York
city, It u the opinion Of Senator Plat that
Mayor Low and all other officers who were
elected two years ago on the fusion ticket
will be renomi mated, with the possible ex
oeption Of Borough President Jacob A.
Cantor. Senator Plat said last night in
a gentle way:
1T seems to mo that Mr.. Cantor is
impossible
Senator Platt was asked as to the can
didate for president OF the Republican
County Committee to succeed Robert G.
Norris. Mr.. Platt said that nothing would
be decided about this matter until Prcs-
dent Roosevelt returned to Washington.
and then he, Senator Plat, would 60 and
have a talk with the President and see
what could be done.
Some OF the higher Republican authori-
ties have had talk with former Senator
Lispenard Stewart to see II he, rich
man with leisure. could not find his
way TO accept the place Of president Of
the County Committee. and thus save the
Republican managers from employing a
man at a salary to give his attention and
entire time to managing the Republican
affairs Of New York city.
Mr. Stewart has had experience in New
York city and State politics. But all this
will he in allegiance until Senator Platt has
had talk with President Roosevelt.
