ALBANY. De 30 -Oi late there has been good
deal of talk about Governor ConclPs entering the
race for tn, Scuaorship. There is reason to believe
that, within a few days, the Governor has sent
letter TO Ncw-York to, or for one o. the Senatorial
contestants explicitly stating that he Is
not candidate and has no purpose
of becouiug one II is understood that
Governor Corue's preferences are likely to be
for Thoma, G. Piltt ;winlc those OF General Arthur
are Gr,t for Crowley and second for Morton. Ii IS
not now believed here tha Crowley is likely to be
a scrou, candidate to thc end. His pecunlary
necessities are SAID to be- cubdrrassing and 1t

would be- sure of some recognition.
Thomas G.. Platt il known TO have handled large
part the money raised for campalen purposes u

in She hands of thc Republican candidates
for Assembly. 70 b. used according to their best
Judgment This p.oO,biy gives him stronger
hold on many of he Assemblymen than any other
candidate could possibly have. He is extremely
active: no power 1ut that OF Mr. ConAhng can take
him out OF tine rlcc and he has strong elements OF
succ.-s.
Mr. Moron is a candidate chiefly on the ground
Of Nj ConkIIafs friendship. Ms acquaintance III

House of Representatives; and no doubt Is enter

On the anti-Conklins side there is az vet some
uncertainty. Some are IN favor OF maNlng ight

Cunkung nIn, bat there IS likely 20 be general
concentration of the auti-j jonlllug men upon him.
Wheeler and sherman Rogers each has few
VOTES. Whether all ul them can be delivered To
D.pew Is not quite ccr,aiu. On tue other
hand there are some CouknR votes Dcpew
would certainly get unless 7 at should bo the op-
posing candidate. aud ono or two Others hc would
sccrtaiuly get If Platt should be. John f. Smyth IS
cunotisy discouicn;ed with Governor CoTnelPs
course toward himself and is also more friendly to
others than 70 l'ait.
On the whole. a candid survey Of the
f.ld to-day shows good deal of con-
fusion IN boIh camps The Conkung
people are pcrrlc>rd bv the rival candidates. the
claims OF each and tie delay Of the Senator III set
fling things. On the other side, the line of action
depends largely upon The selection of the COnklIng
candidate. Tie Conkhug people affect to believe
that Drpew il not serious candidate, and
