Boss Platt is using all his wiles get Mr. McKinley to take sides against the candidacy of Seth Low for Mayor of Greater New York, and he is very sly about it, too. vince Mr. McKinley, and has almost succeeded, that if he doesn’t help to kill the aspirations of Low, he will have him to fight as a candidate for the Presidential nomination at the next Republican National Conven- tion. Mr. McKinley is somewhat of a politician himself, and will not do all that Platt wants him to do, without exacting loyally from Platt in 1900, but present indications are that he will join Platt in fighting Low, which will make it all the easier for a Democrat to be elected Mayor of Greater New York.
