WASHINGTON, D. G., 'Junn 2D-The midnight
eeoldng match IN tile Senate, between Senators
Lannr and Conkllng, Is regarded By Republican
politicians to-day as putting ConklinE far ahead
Of Blaine, Chandler, and even Grant, III the
Presidential race, md the nlnino und Chandler
men do not attcmpt to llto their 1Isappoint-
mcrt aud modification. Sr. ConEllng Ia tho
Republican hero Of tho day. He is regarded as
having mngnifccptly retrieved his defeat In tI.c
House last week when he tried to get the Housc
Republicans to commit themselves against the
Army bill ana was so bad!y boatcn by Gcns.
Garfield, and Hawcy, md MIR. Coh9cr, WHO
secured IN almost unanimous Republican vote
for tho bill.
An day yostorday Mr. Conkllng's ex.
prcssiva fnco was seen TO wear TINT "eEnnd,
gloomy, md peculiar " air WHICH betokons high
resolve. md lie frequently walked the cleur
space on tho Senate Aoor back Of hts scat with

i. Mr.. Conkttng, II was easy to soc, was
rcaty md even bursting With tho greatest effort
OF his life when, at Q .. M. That untucky fat

OF course, like \ truo tseucsal, Mr. ConkllnE
had not omltts1 10 prepare Ills opportunity.
For instance, In tle rourse OF tho evening 1t Is
son's scat nnd declared hIs uptnton to that Rebel
lrigadIcr taut tho conduct Of the Democrats
is low, meau, and infnmous.r This was as when
Con. Grant before Vtckshlrc suddenly opened

sona unexpected quarter.
Thns nlstlcrs went on until between ha9f-rast
