CoNKLING RETICENT.
! New YORK, June 1Sth.-Conkling and
| Platt are at present at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel. The ex-Senators receive few callers.
Conkling was found in his rooms, but was
extremely reticent about the subject of the
Senatorial contest. He observed that the
political interests of the State were in such a
| condition of chaos at present that it would
be imprudent for him to speak on any SUBJ
| iect, and especially on one SO intimately con-
nected with the honor of those who are con-
cerned in the investigation. Conkling said
that any day might bring about the climax
which has been SO earnestly desired and SO
eagerly sought.
WHY GRANT IS IN THE CITY.
General Grant refuses to converse on poll
tics. and declares that his presence in the
city is due to the want OF rest, which he is
hopeful of having satisfied in the metropolis
and at Long Branch. The General will IN
all probability leave for the seashore about
the middle Of next week. The Ne'cs says !:
EA- Senators Conkling and Platt and General
Grant met in Conklings room at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel this forenoon, and were IN
consultation for one hour. Messengers were
then sent out for Vice President Arthur,
John w. Smith, Senator Jones and a few
others, including several local politicians.
The consultation did not last long. Platt
then departed for his downtown office, and
the Others scattered, Conkling remaining
with Grant. 1t was reported that some con-
sideration was given TO the question OF
whether it would be advisable for Grant to
90 to Albany, and it was concluded that it
would not be helpful to Conkling. Another
point, which is to be further considered to-
night and tomorrow, is the possibility that
A COMPROMISE WILL HAVE TO BE MADE
In order to save one stalwart Senator. Conk-
ling said he would not go back to Washing
ton unless Platt went with him. His friends
urged him not to make this an irrevocable
decision, but he said he should adhere to it.
Cornelrs name was considered in case COM
promise should be necessary, but Arthur
strongly objected. The only name that could
find a united support was that of Grant. He
said he did not want the office. He has the
Mexican Railroad on his hands, and does not
want to return to active political life. He,
however, consented to keep the question
under advisement. One of the principal
matters to be considered by the stalwart
leaders to. day and tomorrow is the prepa-
ration of testimony for the Investigating
Committee next week. Senator Platt said
to-day some startling developments might be
expected 81 do not see" said Platt, "how
the matter is going to end. see no immedi-
ate prospect of either an election or an ad-
journment Depew's vote will break up Iext
week"

to read in the Associated Press dispatches OF this
morning what purported to be an Lterview with

you read what purported to be an into view OF mine
in some newspaper in New Orleans, wherein was
quoted as saying you connected with certain
banks and that you were President OF one OF them.
In your interview published you admit all and
exactly what did say, that you are Director IN
the United States National Bank Of New York ty.
This know from official sources. never said YOU
were the President CT the bank, or that yeu were
connected with any other bank, because did not
know it.

temen, all Of whom, SO far as know, are your adj
mirers. 1t turned on your Mexican railroad enter
PRISE and the part relating to your banking busI-
ness only an incident OF it. There was in the
company prominent newspaper correspondent,
and he made the conversation the basis OF an inter
view. You take exceptions in your interview. You
are made to say that intended to talk slurringy

efforts for your success During the eight years OF
your Presidency never asked you for an official
favor for myself any of my relations or frieads

about you, or that | want to belittle you, is both
unkind and unjust to me. There is but one man in

lifting the great soldier and statesman OF whom our
nation is justly proud, and tbst man is -, not
