THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUs-TnE CASE OF MR..
rwOMBLY--THE ARCADE RAILROAD THE
GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
ALBANY, Jan. 8.-Of course an attempt will
be made TO torture the action Of the Republican caucus
as evening into an sxprcssion Ct dlsapprova Of the
Administration Of Gen Grant. hut that action signifies
nothing the kind. II would be perfectly absurd TO say
that Senator Fenon has friends In the Assembly er-
cept those who are opposed 10 tho Administration at
Washington, and that absurdity 10 implied in htrbung
the compliment to Mr. Hustled to such motives as are
above mentioned. There is however, suspicion that the
influence OF Tammany Hall was thrown againa Mr..
selkreg. The Democratic leaders arc naturally dis
posed to foment dssensons and are very willing That
Republicans should believe their most faithful repro
sentatyes untrustworthy. Hence the talk which hns
been telegraphed to various newspapers IN New'foEk
about an anti-Admlnistration feeling and Fenton-
Conkng bitterness No such feelings are prevalent Sem
aor Fenton desires 10 be understood that his presence
in the city had nothing to do with tho caucus difficult
TO understand what tho Senator could have for
interfering In 90 trivial matter. It's very probable
that II tha Republicans had been able 20 elect their
candidate, neither Mr.. Hustled nor MI sellueg would
have been their choice, but Mr. LttlejohR-
When the name Of Mr.. Carey called this morning,
In taking the vote for Speaker Dr. Gleason Rcp) of b.
Lawrence endeavored to introduce protest against the
right Of that gentleman 10 east vote in the organiz
ton Of the Assembly. Tho protest objected TO as
out OF order. and not received 1t consisted OF
simple statement addressed TO the Assembly, and signed
by Horato N. TYomby setting forth that the number
of votes cast for Mr. Twombly member OF the Assem-
bly, from the With District Of Nev-York County WIS
222 sgains Oi for John Carey and 20 blank and scat
tering and protesting against the right Of r Carey 10
represent the district. AR TwOrnbly 10 will be remeu-
bered was the ONLY Republican elected to the Legisa-
turo from the City OF New-YOrk. Subsequently,
after the reading o. the Governors Message Mr. Gles-
attn, 1.sp1r n
appoint special committee Of tive to investigate aud re-
rort on the ease " Mr. Twomby. The House. by vote
Of GO 10 S. refused to take tine matter into
and the resolution viii go 70 The Committee Oh FIivhoges
and Claims, when that committee shall bo formed Ills
TO DO regretted that tie Republican minority nave ehoI
taken steps TO keep this outrageous theft of MI TWon-
rlys scat prominently before tho people, for 1t s no or
dinary piece Of rascality With Mr.. Twonby where no
undoubtedly belongs, there would be tie IN lilo AZ
sembly.
Speaker Hltchnans address was entirely poht'cal-s
sort OF reflection OF the Governors views on ntioha H.
fairs The law by Which tho Ring were prevented fron
polling 10000 fraudulent votes n Sewfofk City was de-
nounced as an OUTRAGE ord the capap Of the newspa,
pers and Of the stump poured forth to christening
cars Tho entire proceedings today have been unusually
tadious The real business Of the session will rot begin
until next week The two houses win adjourn over rom
wednesday evening Tuesday noon IN order that the
dominant party may enjoy the Inagnfcerec VI the Amer
icus Clubs ansusl ball
An Arcade Railroad bin VIII be pushed tiis Wnter'
and Messrs. Smith and Gardiner, Its promoters, are
already the city. 1t thought that the measure can
be so shaped avoid the objections OF this Governor
Tie Governors Message Ia looked upon as very
feeble document by the leading politicians here The
reading OF il apparently produced no effect whatever
tho members ,of the Assembly, there being no signs OF
approval or dsapprova The views Of the Governor on
the crrancy are the thGso expressed Last year.
and indeed he conveyed nothing which has not been
repeated hundred times before In very much tie hame
language.
