minute. of the House, Just long enough to
,dopt a solution to 20 into Joint convention TO
elst the Senator on Wednesday. Then Rock
lands Eagle moved an adjournment. which OF
course was adoptcd. II was nearly an hour
before the tue for the meeting OF the caucus.
Tho galleries were nIel to their utmost
cspaclty large number being ladies.
The more distinguished visitors were
accommodated with seats on the main
noor. Among the latter were Chester AaAr-
thur. A. s. Cornell. United States Marshal
PAYNE and many more from New York city
ex.senaturs Dan Cole Of Albion. I. V. Baker.
Jr. Of Washington. United States District At
tornoy Croyicy OF Iockport. United States |
Marshal McDougall Of Auburn. the Hon. Henry |
L. pierson and John f. Smith Of Albany and |
numerous pastmasters aud other officials from |
nearly every county in tho State. The Hon. |
Jacob VI Paterson Of New York was the centre |
piece In the ladies' gallery. directly over the
Chairman 5 desk.
The proceedings were opened by Senator
Rockwell who nominated Senator Robertson
for Chairman. The Chairman took his place
md pro coded to eat his humble pie by congrat-
ulatns ihc Republican party that for the third
umeit was about TO send Roscoe Conkling. a
statesman who was peerless. TO the United
statos senate. His speech though short. would
have sounded very well in the Cincinnati Con-
venton. whore Mr.. Robertson voted for Blaine
instead Of Conking for the Presidency.
Then Rocklands Eagle took the floor. and
gobblcd down his humble pie for having voted
with Robertson for Blaine. He lauded the emf
nont Senator to the skies lie was the chiei
support. the prop. the counsellor Of the mar
tyrcd Lincoln. without whose aid the country
would have gone To eternal smash Then
Hustled linked the Glorics Of Grant and Conk-
ling together through the two terms Of the
former and stroyc hard to bring out applause
for Grant but did not succeed until he had
travelled with him out OF the country and told
how magnihcently he was being entertained by
royalty abroad. Then there was slight ap-
pause as though those who gave 1t hoped he
would remain there. Returning TO Conkline.
Hustled declared that no one since the days OF
Crsar had been his equal. Then Hustled sat
down. 20 the music OF hearty hand capping.
Senator Pomeroy made finance the burden Of
the opening OF his speech and rather threw
cold water on Husted's efforts by declaring that
this was not personal tribute to Mr. Conkling,
but a payment for faithful duty done TO the
party and to the country.
Mr.. Sloan made a characteristics speech. mild.
but very effective bringing out conspicuously
tho fact that the members OF the caucus were
only there to carry out the expressed command
OF the Republicans OF the State, as given in the
late election. which was that Senator Conkling
should be continued in the scat he had filed so
long and so we'll. There was no other man in
she State that would meet the requirements OF
he party at this time. Mr Sloan was rewarded
with the heartiest applause Of tho evening.
Old Salt said he would have remained silent
we're it not that the crowning glory OF his lie
had Just been conferred upon him by making
him the first Speaker in the new Capitol; so
he could not keep quiet In, all his, long
term OF public service he had never before
had an opportunity 20 vote for United States
Senator and this honor OF being able 10 cast his
hrst yot. Tor Roscoe Conklng was one before
which all the other honors oI his life palled and
became almost insignificant.
The roll wRs then called through and every
Repuhll 'un Senator aud Assemhly yman respond
ins named Roscoe Conklng NJ his choice. The
result was received with immense applause by
Messrs Arthur Cornell. Smvth Co.. and the
men VINO had done the voting.
