People g-nerally. regardless of party, snd poll
tl.ians of all sorts bad many amustng things to
*ay to each other yesterday about the Platt flaseo
.f Bunday snd tha fatuoua att-mpt of Mr. Platt
to g-t up i .iemonstration which would frlghtati
Mayor Ktrong into re-ognlzing Platt'a right to
order appointment* to sult hlm aml hls undertlngs.
I*. was the eommon SSgrdssloa that Platt was
havlng his usual luek la compelllng men who held
the appolntlng power to COttfom to hls wlshes.
They racalled hls ezperleq.ce with Prealdenl ffayaa

]< ss-r not-. who decUned to aceept his guidanee and
dir?tlon in maklng appointm-nts, and rememberc'l
that about svary Uma Mr. Platt got the worst of
it. They were ready to predlet a gimllar re.su'.t
from hl.. atta<-k on Mayor Strong.
Mr. Platt refuaed -o talk for print yesterday, but
did not conceal hin Int-ntions to go to Albany to

ton- yesterday that "th, boys ? dldn't roesa to gei

"If th- country psopti are so worked up sgalnst

Mr. W'arwiek would probably be swept Into the

lo.-al nnd factlon.-! flghffl in the party ranks have
so compllcated the situation that to-night there Is a
reasonabic doubt of the c.-rtainty of his election.
The normal Hepubli.-an majority in Philadelphla on
local Issues is from H.999 to .a.OOi. and Mr. W'ar?
wiek has been forr times e>, t.-d City Sollcltor wtth
an incraaaad majority aach time, ?o that he bringB
to the polls the prestlge of an unbeaten candldate.
