of those vehicles Invariably attracts , and
who watch them fearfully , but curi

Terrible Scenes lu ( he City.
Exaggerated rumors fill Ibe air and keep

Terror Among Ciililu
Tbo commissioner describes tha feeling
prevailing among tbo passengers as boinu- :
u heart-rending character. There was some
doubt among tbo parsengorn as to the pros
cnco of the dreaded disease on board the

occurred today have brought terror to the
bravest hearts on board of thn infected vessels
sols und all now fully recognize that the
grim spoctro of cholera is really In their

The mails from the Normannln , which
were brought up to thu posloHIco Into las

NEW Yonic , Sopt. 4. Tlio lollowlng will
nppoar In the Now York Herald tomorrow
morning : I visited ox-Senator Thomas 0.
Plait nt the Oriental hotel , Manhattan
Bench , yesterday nnd Invited him to talk on
politics. Senator Platt lives at the Oriental
during the summer. Ha loves the brisk son
breezes ana ho loves the ocean nnd Us restless -
loss wutor. Ho has an nctlvo mind und
acttvo body and these things are In con
sonance with him.
Ho was sluing on the eastern piazza of the
hotel n I approached nnd ho greeted mo , ni
lie always greets newspaper men. most
klcdty. 1 told him that I wanted him to
tulle politics and that 1 wanted to print
whatever ho said In the Horald. Ho hesi
tated n moment as If thinking over the ox-
jiedloncy of saying anything , but llnally ho
ronlled : "All rich ! ; 1 aupooso It Is fair and
proper that I should say something. I sus
pect I know the questions you have In mind
Lo ask me , nnu so considering that pcrhapi It
Is suitable for mo to siv : so'fiathlng , I shall
talk frankly and clearly. "
'You ' tallied that way just before the
Minneapolis convention , " I ventured to ro-
mark.
Steadfast In IIU Republicanism.
Well , yes , I did , " the senator romlcd. "So
1 aid. Nor have I anything to tuko back or
any thine to rcgrot. 1 did tbon what 1 thought
was ray duly to the republicans of New York
and the country. I am going to do what I
think Is my duty now. Wo llvo in a land
wbcro the majority rules , must rule and Is
going to rule every tlmo. The majority did
not agree with mo at Minneapolis. I did my
best to defeat the president , but ho had more
votes than the other candidates and that set
tled It. Now ho Is the nominee of the repub
lican party. I am a ropUDllcnn. I was a re
publican In lSo5. I have boon n republican
every hour ot every day from then until this
minuio , never faltering In my support of re
publican principles and republican candi
dates , no matter whether the candidates wcro
men of my choice or not. The aims and the
policies and the characters of parties In
this country have got to undergo n wonder
ful chungo bofoft 1 shall bo anything clso
tbau a republican. "
Senator Platt paused a moment and during
the pause I suggested that nevertheless ho
had been rattier quiet since the Minneapolis
convention nua perhaps a source of some
solicitndo among the president's friends.
Mr. Platt smiled and suld : "Tno weather
luis been prntty hot you know , " nnd then do
wont on moro seriously , "yes , I have been
quiet , though I shall not flatter myself with
the Idea that I bnvo been a source of much' '
solicitude. "It would bo the shallowest kind
of pretense for mo to claim that I was not ,
greatly disappointed by the result at Minne
apolis. My friends find my cnomios have
generally * ! , "creed. Ikthlnklinjvctiargingl.mq
with strong feolings.'nFd I" fancy they arc
right. What I believe I bollovo , and as far
as 1 know I believe it ; and , as far as I can ,
I try to act accordingly.
I'utlcnt Under Uncalled 1'pr Abuse.
' 1 do not get over such a disappointment
as I bad at Minneapolis in twenty-four
hours , und I confess I hero has been in my
mind a grave question whether It was my
duty to i-o into this campaign with Ibe
activity I have usually put forth. Uccauso
u man keeps quiet under pitiless attacks ,
bonds his shoulders to tuko it and smiles
moro or loss cheerfully when ho rights him-
.self , it docs not follow that bo has ex
perienced ugranablo sensations , nor that bo
Is proud or pleasant , nt what has boon tuid.
I do not know that there has boon n mini In
the < 4tuto mid iiorlmns In the whole country ,
who has boun moro roundly and Indecently
unused than I. Insofar as this comes from
democratic and mugwump sources that
is ibo common onoiuv I expect , it und am
ready font ; butwhonlspcnddnyBand nights
In the favrvlco ot the republican party doing
what I can to promote the success of Its prin
ciples und Its candidates , without thought or
liopo or expectation ot ofllco or reward , it
seems n little bard that I should bnvo to tuko
from republicans oven what democrats ought
to bo ashamed to give mo.
"I suppose that our friends , the enemy ,
and porbaus some of our ilncorcr friends ,
wilt think It vastly amusing when I tell you
that I nm not a DOSS , that I do not want to DO
: i boss , that I halo nothing so much as to
have to do with putronago , and that my nc-
lionj , in occasionally undertaking to direct
republlcrn methods and policies , uud In urg
ing candidacies nnd recommending persons
for ofllco , uro dictated tolely by what I con-
cclvo to bo the Interests uud necessities of
party und public welfare. But that is true.
UouliU Tliut Were Dlspolled.
"Doubts were in my mind after the Min
neapolis convention how far my services
wcro desired br those who soumcd then to
bo In charge of Mr. Harrison's campaign. I
hoard that some persons were representing
to him that all the misfortune : tbo republi
can party hud aver undergone in tbo stale of
Now York were to bo attributed directly to
me , and that It would bo good politics for
him to lot It bo unaemood that ho wished to
have nothing to do with 'bosses.1 Certainly
I hail no desire to obtrude myself upon the
president nor to torco myself Into the con
duct of bU campaign If I was notwantod ,
And the fact * bnvo proved that I was prob
ably over sensitive , bui that If among the
faults most easily forelvou. "
There was another nauso hero nnd I filled
It with the question ; "So you wiilted I"
"Yes , I waited. Waited to hear from
President Harrison. Some people said that
1 waited to hoar from him u request to tuko
ofllco. that I waited to make a soidld bargain ,
that I stood llko a road agent , 'holding up' u
coach. Thcso were lies , nud fioy were
among tha meanest and most Irritating ,
moil painful and most hurtul l.'oi ' that i

son , llko'ull man In power , bus a great num
ber of fool friends , moru or less clojo to him.
Those creatures uro Inseparable from high
political stations. Some uro very artful as
well us silly , and from whom sornu quality of
imilico Is not wanting. But ho has , too ,
a largo number ( if friends cloioly utluchod
to him , proud of him , zealous In his
Interest men who profoundly udmira him
and profoundly love the party ho leads.
They probablv told the president that I was
not as bad as those imaginative people huvo
puintod mo , but that 1 was furnished with
tbat proper measure of roipcct which ought
to be tbo equipment of an American citizen.
They probablv HUld , too , that I loved tbo re
publican parly a goal deal moro than I dis
liked him , und ncrhiinf. that my prejudices
against him , line those ho oiiKirtulned
against mo , were dui In a largo measure to
inlsupprobunblon. I suppoio they said these
things , and ptobably oihora oven moro Kind ,
if luss truo. At ull events It was Indicated
to inu tbat the president would be glud to
8co mo. So I wont to BOO him us any Ameri
can citizen should who has received ucb an
Intimation. Ho mot mo cordially. "
VVInit They Talked About ,
"Won't you give mo some idea of tbo con
versation i" I asliod ,
"it wa not a talk on potty porsoiml sub

ronurlts wore those of u broad minded , fair

view of tbo dignity ot tils oflloo , a vluw that
