The attendance at Fiid.iy morning sessions Is usually veiy slim, owing to the fact that it is quite unusual for anything moie than the perfunctory lus-dug of hills on Hist leading to tome up. Tills inoining. however, there was a eiy large attendance, practic ally all the members, excepting those absent on committee Junkets, being in their seats'. It was claimed they had been induced by the fi lends of the Vnughan measute to icmaiu over and help pass the "speda! oidor" resolu tion. They weie disappointed at hav ing been kept over unnecessarily hut ngrecd, so it is claimed, to bo on hand Monday night. To those not tin the in side, the large attendance was attrib uted to the shutting off tit leaves of nbsencc the day before. The knowing ones let it go at that. As only about a lif th of the iu mhers vho stay away from a session take the trouble to ask for a leave of absence, the large attendance needed some ex planation other than leveronoe for tho i tiles, and upon inquiry the leal cause developed as Indicated above.

Murch 22. Ooieiuor Odell will go to New York and ho will see Senator Platt nt the Fifth Avenue hotel on Saturday afternoon. That does not mean Mint tho governor Is giving In. Probably he would not hne decided to go to New Yoik at nil If he laid not received an invitation fiom the Lotus club to be pieseul at u din ner on Saturday night. On the so' oial occasions that Governor Odell has called on Senator Platt In 2iVw Yoik he has suited his own convenience. II" has made his calls upon the semtor Incidental to cither business. All Albany Is divided Into two camps, the Odell camp and the Platt camp. Discussion 1 tins high. In the hotel lobbies, in the ion Idors 01 the capltol, tile one theme llercely debated Is the break or, as some other people prefer to call It, the "diffcieiice" between Platt and Odell.

He has no ionise to puisne but the one on which he has set out. He has moused Hie lie of Senator Platt so lbs politicians say It makes no mrference now whether he gives lu or not. No further political pieier ment is In stoic tor htm if the senator can help It fiovernor Odell, then, must shake himself enthelj fier from Sena tor Platt, and make hlniselt muster of Mi.' situation.
