pointed By them waited upon Mr.. callIcot and made
kAown their mission. Mr. G. refused TO have any inter-
view with them without his friends being present An
interview was arranged and when tho Brooklyn commit
tee met those selected by Cacot his friends It turned
out that they were no less than Dudley Field
Ward Hunt, c. ~ Depew. Henry Sherwood Charles c.
GODDARD, Dr. Wilder and L. vandscar. An but two
are extreme radicals.
Tho fact Of Mr. C.s presenting himself TO tho
with those persons ~ his friends caused little
ton. member OF tho Brooklyn committee mmo
diasly Informed him that n these his personal ard
political friends, they knew wherc he (CalcoD
stood now, and had nothing further TO say.
The effort to prevail upon him TO withdraw has not yet
ended but will not amount TO anything The republicans
had caucus this Afternoon and the feeling seemed DO
that they would adhere TO Caco May, however assert
that several republicans will not FOR him or this
cannot speak knowing the fact myself do know that
there four Ave who will vote for him If they
san In any way honoraby avoid il.
The excitement has been heat all this after.
noon II scems that the republicans have imported
crowd from New York Offset TO the roughs tho
other side. Long before the hour for tho Assembly 10
convche 10 night this crowd took Of the lower
gallery and in connection with sprnkliug OF tho old
Albany crowd, nearly the Assembly Charbor.
The doors Of the upper gallery locked and when tho
crowd that occupied that gallery Saturday made their
Appearance they were unable to find room below
entrance TO tho upper gallery The result was
that the rotuuda and halls OF tho Capitol were
crowded 10 overlooking, making 1t exceedingly
difficult tor the members to obtan ingress
70 the Assembly Chamber, and when the floor the
crowd there great that II almost prevented tho
transaction Of business An adjournment Immediately
had uutl tomorrow ut twelve O'Clock.
soon after tho adjournment the crowd clamoring to
get into tue uprcr gallery succeeded in breaking opeu
OF tho DOORS and rushing soon Hng the gallery.
There hegerent demonstrations by either side
tonight. Good feeling prevailed, but determination
manifested by both sides be hand ready any
thing that sht take place Tho hotels all crowded
to svernoSirg, and Albany bids fair to be exciting
place all night. When will end tell
There numerous rumors anoat OF combinations
being formed tho democratic aide. One Is
that saxton Smith will be Speaker and II. a.
Risley, republican, Clark; another that 1t will DO
Trimmer and CurhmaD, but nothing has yet been
agreed TIE democrats do not hold thor caucus until
tomorrow morning. and all that viii be done to night
will DO IN pipe laying and feeling around to ascertain tho
strongest combination against Calicot.
Tho statement In the Times that Judge Dean has mado
the assertion that tho House would be organized
after tho day set apart for the election Of Senator Is
wholly without foundation. Mr. Dean, to my certain
knowledge, did all that within his power stop the
revolutionary acts Of Saturday and plead with his
ciates TO permit a ballot 10 DO taken.
