talked OF by Conkliug and the stalwarts 10
to make q short 6Rht and then bring
about q recess OF the Legislature with
the understanding that the Senators shall
not be elected until after the Novem Der
election, and that II the election shall
show the sentiment Of the Republicans oil
the State to be Stalwart and with Conk.
ling, the present Legislature shall again
meet, and then Conkling will claim the
election. II something like this 10 Of.
feCted Conkling will 20 right TO

wart sentiment assert itself In every
locality and for every officer 10 be
nominated and elected. This Senator says
that Coukllng will endeavor to defer the
Senatorial election because he cannot
muster the force 10 win now, and should
the Legislature take q recess Conkling
could do much during that recess. This
Senator further says that the Republicans
are anything but confident OF carrying the
election next fall; that 10 postpone the
Senatorial election takes that Issue into
the canvass and divides the party, while
the Democrats seem inclined 10 heal up
their past differences.
