Platt Pleased

The follo-vving letter, read at a recent meeting of New York Republicans shows the umnistakable attitude of exSenator Platt and his confidence in Republican success: 49 Broadwat, New York, Sept. 1. Mr. John E. Milholland, Chairman Republican Mass Meeting, Scottish Rite Hall, New York. My Dear JIiï. Mjxholland- I have your kind invitation to attend your mass meeting this evening, and were it possible you know ] would gladly accept. I am with you in spirit, however, and shall be glad to learn that my eonfident.expeetation as to the success of the gathering will be fully realized. Indeed I do not see how it can be otherwise than a success with such an exceptionally attractive programme. Senator Fassett himself is a strong enough drawing card to flll Madison Square garden at a half hour's notice, not to mention Mrs. Foster and the other speakers. The time for holding the meeting is exceptionally fortúnate. The prospects for the Republican success grow brighter every day and no livelier antithesia could be desired than that which is furnished by the demoralized condition of the enemy, and the united, harmonious and aggressiye front presen ted by our grand old party throughout this and the other states. Sincerely yours, Thomas C. Platt.
