result is that the Republican party couldn't carry

of the talk au.ong the supporters of Mr. Conkhug
and Mr. Platt az the opening of their struggle To
regain the seats they threw away.
II promises TO be an exciting wcekTthe most c1-
citing. veteran observer said to-day, since the
Tweed charter was passed. Both sides are very
much in earnest, both feeling that th'y
have good deal at stake; Whle
the Democrats are standing by in state of ecstacy
ecarcely able TO credit their own emotions, which
tell them for the first time in number OF years
they are q body of consequence i'll the Legislature
In a few hours more the capital will be swarmng
with politicians from all sections of the state and
the members who do not propose TO enter a caucus
in which they will be bound to vote for men whose
only purpose in returning TO Washington is to make
war upon the Administration will be subjected ~
degree of political pressure probably without
parallel in the recent history Of the State.
CoNKIING TO SUE IN PERSON
To this will be added the personal persuaSions OF
Mr. Conkling himself, whose presence here will be
at Once source of strength TO him and sign OF his
weakness Mr.. COnkling's habit has been to accept
elections to the Senate laid at his feet by loyal
legislature This coming to Albany to pu'l Nlr"s
with his own imperial hand and even TO dct1in with
his august finger the buttonhole OF the coy mehber
Is a new thing for him, and sharply marks the
change In his fortunes. But he is coming.
"Wiu Mr.. Conkling come to AbanyT
asked Of one of his intimate friends. q" lie
will come il lie is sent for" "That means that he
Is coming, l supposei" and nod was the answer.
II was afterward said that he would arrive here to-
morrow at half past 2. No one who has seen him
assume command of his forces at State Convention,
and observed how much courage his presence s"n'
along the line will underestimate the effect of his
efforts here TO secure his reolcC ion. At tho same
time there is visible dissatisfaction among lis wn
friends With the formal announcement that hc is IL
candidate.
COUNSEL POR CONKIING.
The politicians especially Of Albany, have been all
seog to-day over an editorial article in The 1ibaHy
Express of this morning The Erpress is the State
paper and has been iercely in favor of Mr.. Conk-
ling since the dispute at Washington. But this
morning it described itself as being very sorry to
hear that Mr.. Conklng was candidate; said
he was "belitting himself" in so doing
and reminded him that, while ho could
afford TO be defeated" he could not
afford to be "humiliatod7 The fac. that
The Express is the oflicia paper OF the State
Administration led sOme TO suspect that this article
Was inspired in some way, Int there is not the
slightest reason for such a suppOsitiOD The fact is
that The Erpress is somewhat of "r0ckcty"
newspaper. It's liability to an occasional attaci of
political pyrotcchnics is well known, and on these
oc, asions its articles have the appearance of having
been written late at night under undue pressure
Of emotion. No one will deny, however, that the
article expresses sentiment which
number of Mr. Conkling's friends feel
but few of them venture tOexpress They think that
his resignation great mistake, and that his
seeking reelection is another which personal
vass will intensity.
