A ConkIing Combination.

A Conkling Combination.
A Washington special to the New York
Times, March 20, says:
There is said to have been . meeting of
Southern Republicans last week in this
city, at which the presidential nomination
was considered. The proposition discussed,
according to the report, was that these
Southern Senators should abandon Senator
Morton as candidate, and cast their united
influence at home for Senator Conkling and
make him their united choice. The views
expressed were favorable to this change Of
front. This story comes pretty directly
from a Senator who participated in the
meeting, and appears to be entirely oredi-
ble: Il thus appears tn that M, Mr.: Morton,
must 90 without the able support of Messrs.
Spencer, Dorsey, Clayton, Conover and
West. It is becoming something Of for
midable question whether State that can
not give the candidate . vote under any
circumstances shall dictate who the candi-
date must be.
