Ex Senator Platt Dies at 77 in New York
Former United States Senator Thomas Collier Platt of New York died unexpectedly in his apartments at 155 West 11th Street. He would have turned 77 next July.

He resigned with Conkling in 1881 amid patronage disputes with Garfield, later supported Reed against McKinley, and was again elected to the Senate in 1896.
