bs, gone home. not 10 return this session
He did not take the confirmation Of Stanley
Matthews well. as be had set his heart on
dfiealing him, and had the cooperation Of
every Republican on tie judiciary Com
mittcc. VIVA, made it more provoking was
hat The vote OF single absentee would
have defeated him. He said before leaving
that an adjournment would be reached
Wednesday. The prevailing impression is
that the Senate will adjourn SINE die by Sat
urday.
TBS POLITICAL SITUATiON-wBAT Is SAID
OF II.
The general belief i that Mr.. Conkling
only escaped an overwhelming defeat by
prudent general>hip in avoiding a direct
vote in caucus. The idea is that he will
make his speech against Robertson. and let
h.s reasons 60 to the country for opposing
his confirmation then that be will accept
the inevitable gracefully. This will not be
hi, last fight with the Administration, but
he has already learned that he has not now
10 deal with HAYES and bis Cabinet, but with
able men. who have power and patronage
and know bow 10 use both. Said tonight

TIE ADMINISTRATION AGGRESSIVE IN PENN
SYLyANIA. sc.
In PENNSYLVANIA the Cameron managers,
Pennsylyanians say, have commenced their
usual tactics, and have already in several
counties elec.ed delegates to the State Con-
yenliOn by the county committees instead
Of waiting until the county conventions
meet The anti-CImeron leaders, however.
are organizing to prevent this and give the
people fair show. In this they have the
aid OF the Administration, and every
inch Of ground is 10 be contested Mr.
Blaine has an immense personal follow
inc in that State, and it will be fully
utilized in the coming fight. which is TO de-
eide whether the Republican party Of Penn
sylyania is to be Cameron or ant-Cameron.
To an outsider PennsYlylnians here show
great enthusi asm in regard TO this matter,
and it is evident that they are alive TO its
importance. | bear, further, that the Adj
minislration will throw its whole weight in
Indiana against John c. New and other stall
wart leaders, and that ii General Logan be-
comes active in support Of Conkling that
the power Of the Administration will also be
felt in his State. The fact is that this Adj
minstraiion at the outset means TO be the
great powcrin the Republican party. Those
who have supposed it would devote Itself
entirely to Virginia politics have little COM
pretended the scope OF is operations. BY
next fall it will have big fight on its hands
in every northern State, including New
York and Pennsylvania, where stalwaris
show rebellious spirit. 1t means to tolerate
no halfway allegiance.
GREAT THING FOR THE SOUTH.
A Republican remarked TO southern
congressman to-day that the Administra-
ton promised TO be much the best for the
South that has been in power since the war.
"In what respect 2" the southerner asked.
"Why, II cannot sustain itself in either
branch OF Congress without your aid, and
this will beget good feeling on both sides.
You are prospering," he added, land ii will
not burt YOU to have the kind regard OF Gar
field and Blaine" The sOutherner aid not
say anything in reply, but looked as II he
did not expect great deal from any Re-
publican.
ROBERTSON TO BE CONFIRMED.
This seems 10 be generally conceded to-
night, and the Administration people claim
that there will not be over seven or elght
Republican votes cast against hIm. Ihey
say further that he will get large mSlority
OF the Democrats. Some say that his case
will come up Monday, but the majority that
ii Will not be reached until Tuesday.
