THE NEW YORK CITY AND STE PUL' lto'
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New YoRK, Nov. 16.-The news from Albany
indicates that Roscoe Conkling will be reelected
to the United States Senate without serious op-
position. As far as canyaased, nearly all the
Republican members are for him, while Morgan
is not believed to have strength in any quarter.
Thurlow Weed and Dix are supposed to lead one
Republican wing, while Conkling and the Gus
tom House command the other. The question
OF supremacy between these followings must be
settled before the general line Of operations can
be determined.
The Democrats feel rather mournful over the
heavy spoi1s captured by the Republicans in this
State. Governor Dix will appoint new Adju-
tant General and fourteen officers on his mill
tary staff. he will also select & Loan Commis-
s1oner and notaries for each county, and fill W.
cancies in the charitable institutions, also Su-
perintendents Of Insurance and Banking, Canal
Appraisers, and Boards Of Equalization, also
Harbor Masters, Port Wardens, and one Supreme
Judge.
Sweeping changes for political purposes in the
Government Of the this city are expected. The
Custom House forces are arming to obtain full
control in all municipal departments. It is re-
ported, however, that both Governor Dix and
Mayor Havemeyer will not be ruled by the Gus
tom House Ring. Tho latter were so badly
served by the Liberals that they made good noul-
nations, and now find their successful candi-
dates hard to manage.
THE SENATORIAL QUESTION AT SPRINGFIELD.
Special Despatch tn The Chicago Tribune.
SPRINGFIELD, H.. Nov. 16.-There is no longer
any doubt felt by politicians here Of all parties
that E. B. Washburne is q candidate for the
United States Senatorship. His return to this
country just at this time, together with the re-
turn Of J. Russell Jones, and his visit to Dixon
and other places in the northern part of the
State: have very g;al significant bearing His is
friends, and considerable caucussing
has been going on here last night
and to-day between them, Oglesby having been
summoned here for conference. It is certain
that Oglesby doubts the sincerity Of the Admin
istrationists, and is. therefore, prepared to be-
1ieve, that if Washburne is 8 candidate, he has
become 30 with perfect understanding that in
the contest he is to have the influence of the
President and his followers. One of Wash
dent to-day that Washburne would make the
fight, and, unless Oglesby managed bis fight
better than two years ago, he would have the
satisfaction Of serving out his time as Governor.
