The Result OF the senatorial Secret
Caucus-Ipdigna alton Against the Gov
ernOr-The Names OF the Confirmed and

Element.
ALBANY, Jan. 29-Evenng.
The Senate, in executive session this afternoon,
endorsed the 'polcy' laid down in the caucus last
masters those only OF the Governors appontees who
had been urged by Senators or the Custom House
party. They have not only in the course they have
taken stood by the interests of the party leaders,
but have, as plainly as words say 1t, tod the
Governor what they think of his "unwarranted
interference" as one of the Senators puts it, with
their DESIRES and what they will do in the future
If he attempts again to be independent of the
powers that be.
THE ACTION OF THE SENATE HAS CREATED GREAT
DEAL OF EXCITEMENT,
and many OF the members of the lower House who
have heretofore been rather slow to take sides In
the grand struggle for the spoils OF Office have
since been exceedingly loud in their denunciation
OF the majority in the Senate These dcnunciations
however, will have no eject upon the rulers, for
they have already learned that
GROWING Is A CHEAP OPERATION
to engage in at the Capitol and very harmless at the
best. Still, the idea OF the probability of the Gov
ernor's getting his back up and showing fight is
rather appalling to even the most determined, and
every effort is to be used from this out to bring
about harmony. 1t Is claimed that several of the
candidates rejected were rejected simply because
