It found Platt, ‘Easy Boss," equally de- termined that Mr, Sheldon, of Wall street, should have the nomination. It discovered Odell, equally grim and determined, opposed to the nomination of a trust candidate. ‘The second act revealed the complica- tions usual in melodramas, The wily leader was obdurate and bent on bend- ing Odell, the re uer of his party, to his will, Sheldon took refuge bebind Platt, and was equally defiant. Hour after hour while the excited delegates hung under the shadow of the trees of the court of the United States Hote! and glanced doubtfully at one another the “Easy Boss" conferred with his friends and advisers—Dunn, Barnes, Lauterbach, Quigg, Ellaworth, Higgins, Stranahan and Frank Platt, the mentor of Mr. Sheldon, of Wall street, while Odell, the rescuer, gathered about him Littauer, Dickey, Bradley, Ward, Good- sell, Woodruff, Warren, Black, Sher- man, White, Lexow and Krum to gain inspiration for the fray with the master, Settled the Question, There had been an earlier conference be.ween Platt and Odell, It fatied of resuils, the Governor demanding the re- Urement of Sheiaon and Piatt insisting on his nominavon.

From tae attitude of the Governor as he emerged from the final conference which had relegated Mr. Sheldon. en- tirely to the financial realm it was obylous that Odell had made a sincere fight and won; in other words, that he had conquered the old-time master ut the State machine after one of the moat sensational, unexpected and di te. battles possible in politics, where all things are possible. owever, Mr. Sheldon knew that he was defeated. He was the victim.

SARATOUA, Sept. &.—The delegates to the Republican State Convention arose to-day still blinking from the shock of last night's exciting develop- ments. All of the important leaders remained up until nearly daylight trying to pre- vent aa open clash between Senator Platt and Gov. Odell. While the row was on between Platt’ and Odell, nearly all of the delegates refused to belleve that any one could be serlously disputing Platt’s authority. It was @ severe jolt to the average delegate when the news leaked out that Odes! had ralsed a question of veracity between himself and Senator Platt as to wha first suggested Sheldon’s nomination, That the Governor should flatly con- tradict the Senator and deciare that Platt first suggested Sheldon, when Plats, said that Odell first suggested the Wat’ street man, was beyond their compre- henston. i Views Suddenly Revised. The events leading up to the open break between Platt and Odell were very Interesting. Before the quo Sheldon's connection with trusts pad beew ra.sed, both Piatt and Odell looked on Sheidon's nomination as "xood pel: Mr. Sheldon is a man of niga in the tnanclal circies 0: he has important tnflu friends and his services as a rals campaign funds Were estimated (0 be of the highest value.
