"A "RIDIC ULUs MUS

The Fifth Avenue Conference was no failure In
The number, character and individuality OF the
people who responded to the call for it. There were
one hundred or more athletic, experienced and
positive men Of affairs at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
yesterday forenoon. About one-half OF them were
democrats, the rest republicans once in high re-
gard and honor In their own party, now vounta-
rly and irrevOcably lost to the regular republican
organization, and apparently not seriously dis
tressed about 1t. II Overweening, exultant conf

assembled in paror 81 second floor, with the open
ing windows on Twenty-fourth street, yesterday,
at three O'Clock, will 60 into the fight with sleeves
rolled up and q hurrah.
THE PLACE OF MEETING, PARLoR SO,
h q good sized, handsome room, furnished with
two pier glasses, several dozen caneseated chairs.
. long secretary's table and gold and crimson cur
tains IL is in retired part OF the house, and
universally known yesterday as mr.. Iloyds room.n
1t was approached by a hall of rather dark and
close atmosphere and Illumination, whose carpetcd
halls mufhed the footsteps Of the many newspaper
people and oilers haunting it and unable to get
into the sanctum OF the invited philosophers. This
hall was guarded halfway down by policemen in
straw hats, who appreciated the importance OF
their duty, and or twice threatened to collar
and eject newspaper folks questioning their au-
tbority.
There's my number" said one OF them, speaking
10 an iratc city editor; Hook at it. Take the fig
gers on 1t. And look out don't ketch you up aud
chuck you where you'll torgit it."
IL was said that the young gentleman Lloyd, In
whose name the conference was called, had wished
The police to clear the whole OF this hail. so as 10
render inaudble even the echoes OF the speech
making inside, and much Indignation was mani
tested at this.
Its all cowardice, In my opinion, said Governor
Walker, OF Virginia;
"rBE DAY OF CLOSED DOORS IS OVER.
Ihave nothing to say that am afraid off,
1Tts bosh," said the Hon. VIM. Dorsleimer, Of
BufYalo, prominent free trader. "T0 call all these
men together to keep secret In order not TO be-

II was soon evident that the projectors OF the
Conference had not been entirely honest in issuing
the call, and that they were under considerable
mental depression. They had couched their invita-.
1,ons as addressed to all those wishing to beat
Grant but their intention had really been anything
10 beat Greeley TO this end only few OF the free
traders known to be committed to Greeley had
been invited, and the rest, many OF whom were far
more prominent, mad been scratched. But even
with this packing, the odds Of those appearing with
cards of admission were Overwhelmingly Greeley
men. These pooh-poohed the meeting loudly,
affected to be ignorant OF its purpose, and latd
their plans to riddle 1t with verbal shot when the
fun should begin. The newspaper people, whosc life
Is IN the spice OF things, soon athomed this con,li
ton OF affairs, and, by the prominence OF the two
y0nyg men Lloyd, they dubbed the gathering the
vAhi6.IL0yD CONFERENCE.
The two Lloyds figured IN the prominent rotes OF
secretary and dooTkeepef. nefharest Lloyd, the
younger Of the two, is good looking, lalfsknn6'i,
pr0wnhaired boy, of afiabe, digniied and confident
aduIess, aged not above twenty three. He was for
merry q Photographic reporter on tie New YORK
Tribune whence lie was transferred TO act in the
same capacity for Chief Justice Chase at Washing
ton. This fact led to the suymise that tie
whole thing was Chase moveme nj 10 pominate

"Ohp' said MI. COOKE, one Of Fenton's friends
snow we see 1t all Here's Chase ND again on a
,fcvIOrD hope. He's sent the rising generation to
work out his salvation. But he has put a boy for
Waru TO do O mans work.
Others strenuously denied that Mr.. Chase bad
any proposition or hopes or designs uron the Corr
fesence, and among these was Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
WHO occupied an ante-rO0m. He ayerred that Mr.
Chase was earnestly In favor OF Mr. Greeley and
that the younger Lloyd was the spot only to
sponsor Of the afiair, and, generally urged, act
