2 THE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDlfURP, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1010. HOW HARRI SON ISTER BUNCOED PLAT! Promised Him Scat in Cabinet for Support of New York and Then, After Election Coolly Turned Him Down. PRODU CESB G CHUNK CHICAGO, IUs., March 9. The etory ot an alleged promise ot a place In Harrison's cabinet to Sen ator Thomas C. Piatt and his failure to get tho portfolio Is told In a let ter slRned by William K. Curtis and published In the Record Herald. Curtis explains that Senator Piatt gave him the statement on condition that It Bhould not bo oponcd until after Piatt died. It tells the following story of the political battle of 18SS: "Tho Now York delegation vreni to the convention of 181S8 support ing one of their own number, Mr. Depow, for the presidential nomina tion. Thoy voted for him continu ally during tho first week but when Sunday came they decided that he could not succeed and held a meet ing to discuss their future action. There were Blaine men and Harrison and Sherman men in the delegation and friends of other candidates, those' who favored Harrison and Sherman being in tho majority and about ev enly divided. "Stephen H. Elklns who had paid a hurried visit to Indianapolis a few days ago, r turned with an unde livered letter In his pocket. It was signed 'Benjamin Harrison and was addressed to 'Thomas C. Piatt.' "The writer informed Mr. Piatt that Mr. Elklns was authorized to Epeak for him and any arrangements that the two gentlemen might make would, be ratified. "A memorable conference took place in Mr. Piatt's room at which Mr. Elklns stated .ho was authorized to say that If the New York delega tion would give General Harrison their support the latter would ap point Mr. Piatt secretary of the treasury in case of hi9 election and allow him to control federal patron age in the state of New York. "The New York delegation were informed ot this proposition and ac cepting it in good faith, decided to cast a solid vote for General Harri son. As all the world knows, this move on the part of New York brought reinforcements from other states and General Harrison was nominated. "Mr. Piatt is not a rich man, but his credit Is good and he went out and borrowed $150,000 upon his own personal note and turned tho money ovei to the treasurer of the national committee, Mr. Quay has frequent ly asserted that that money elected President Harrison. Several weeks after the election Senator HIscock of New York went to Indlanoplis and In the name of the Republicans of New York went to Indianapolis and In the name ot tho Republicans of New York formaly asked the ap pointment of Mr. Piatt as secretary of the treasury. To the astonish ment of Senator HIscock, the presi dentelect said be could not offer Mr. Piatt a scat in his cabinet and when asked for his reasons declined to jgivo them." Fred J.
