New YORK. July 2l-As soon as the
Albany contest is decided it is understood
that Conkling will take trip across the
Atlantic with q view TO rest and recurer-
ate on his return in October he viii
make a journey through the Southern
States, including in his programme the
Cotton international Exposition at At
lan.a, Georgia. He is soliticioua about
strengthening his political influence in

the earliest opportunity to remove the

during the presidential campaign made
on the southern mind.
His AntIeipatiens-
The ex-senator has clearly not aban-
dored the expectation Of one day becom-
ing president of the United States; if he
has weakened his position at this end Of
the Union he would seem to consider it
sound policy to do what he nto strength
en- himself elsewhere; it will be his aim
to demonstrate to the Southern mind that
the stalwart policy meant the restoration
of Southern prosperity and Southern in
tiuence within the legitimate meaning of
those terms; that people who have been
representing him as hostile to either were
animated by malice and personal hostility.
