SENATOR MoRroN's BAcsEn,.

The Conkling men are here in strong
force. and late last night their campaign
club arrived from New York seventv-ilve
strong, headed by calcium light and the
Ninth Regiment Brass Band. They de-
clare that if Conhling does not receive the
nomination they shall oppose giving it TO
any other citizen of New York, and yet
the names OF Hamilton Fish. GOV. Morgan
and Congressman Wheeler are often men
toned as compromise candidates. The
hatred of Blaine by Conklings supporters
is intense.
