ujse.sd the political atmosphere and bad
feeling wAa engendsred between PiAtts
friSnds and Blacks friends. Finally
PiAtt sent for Blacks friends. among
them Supreme Court Justice John Wood
ward and Louis p. PAyn. and instructed
them 10 say to Gov. Black that II he would
not make . fight for the denomination
he would be nominated for United States
senator by the legislative join; caucus
in January. iseo. TO succeed Edward
Murphy. Jr., u Troy.
Black declined these overtures. made a
fight for the denomination and lost and
ChAuncey NJ. Depew was nominated 20
succeed Mr. Murphy. Black believed he
deserved a denomination and decided TO
| fight and mingled with this decision was
a thought that Plat might not keep his
word as to the United States Senatorship
In later years Plat and Black talked this
over and Black admitted 20 Plat that
he had never a warrant for believing that
Plat would not keep his promise. az
keeping his word was one of Plat .
strongest characteristics a. Republican
