especially to the younger men OF the party
an exemplary lesson in the highest type Of
politics. The Senator perfectly well knows
what all politicians know, that you canno
DO dishonest in politics and succeed, any
more than you can be dishonest in business
and long succeed.
NEW REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION
Senator Platt IL to be beaten in the fight
for Woodruff tomorrow and Governor
Chairman Odell, braced up by his father
is. to nominate Frank Wayland Higgins
through the power of State patronage and
nothing more. From the ashes OF Mr.
Platts defeat tomorrow there is to arise,
it is promised, a Republican organiza-
tion in the State which is to demonstrate 10
the people that the methods Of the Oddities
will not be endured. Never in the history
of the party in the State has it been so
smirched since Newburg methods, became
the vogue. The party has been handled
as II it were the party of one man, to he de-
voted entirely to his own interests.
He has not hesitated to Interfere with the
judiciary. There has been no limit to his
conduct. All this is known and appre-
ciated from one end of the State to the other.

THE PATRONAGE CLUB AGAIN.
From early morning until late tonight the
Governor-C hartman with his new supply of
courage still holding out has made it very
clear to many delegates to this convention
that if they do not walk the crack straight
tomorrow they viii lose their jobs. All
day he has swung the patronage club until
it would be amusing il il wore not quite
pathetic to see some of these delegates
quake in their shoes. 1t is bread and butter
temporarily for them to vote for Higgins
Tomorrow 1t means the loss of job
if they vote for Woodruff In this way the
delegates from Suffolk and Queens have
been taken from Woodruff. In this way
also the strength of Woodruff in several
other counties has shriveled. In this way
the Monroe county chaps who declared
last night that they were for Woodruff are
becoming timid. and it is just so inevery
delegation sent mere 10 participate III "haC

IL has been DAY OF bitterness IN many
senses The frightfui story mas ADDED
to the gloomy thoughts oil many IL mas
been demonstrated beyond peradventure
that the Odell ascendency has brought
the party to the lowest level IN its history.
The Governor-C Chairman has hurried from
one headquarters TO another. and before
him quaked the delegates with jobs at Al
bany and elsewhere in the state Bread
and butter, rather the threatened loss OF
them, made towards OF them. The Tape
wormers, Ward, Littauer and that bunch,
were active. The Republican organiza-
ton Of the State is In control OF this hand
full OF Tapewormers, and before going any
further it should be remarked that there
is very great dissatisfaction here among
eminent Republicans with THE Sun for
speaking of Odell as leader Of the Repub-
lican party in the State and for even by
inference associating his name with such
men as Thurlow Weed, Reuben f. Fenton,
Roscoe Conkling and Thomas c. Plat.

ernor- Chairman Odell yrested the control
of the party from Senator Platt has he
been its leader. They admitted that he
had been the organizations boss, with all
the opprobri,,m that should've given with
that title He has not led the organiza-
ton. these critics went on TO saw, but has
bossed il and domineered it through the
power Of his Office as Governor and the
patronage which will be at his command
unless the canal ring is shattered
Atno time. these people reiterated, has the
given the slightest
evidence OF leadership qualities. He has
crpcxed the whip over his oficeholders
,nt;, they bowed the knee. but he has not
led the Republican organization. these
n,onlo assert and neither will he lead the
Renublican hosts of the State.
