Washington Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 10. 1881.
Editor. of Kenne6ee Journal:
OF course the all-absorbing topic has been
the Garfield Conkling difficulty; but now
that Judge Robertson has been confirmed
the excitement is all dying out, the only ques-
ton exercising the minds of politicians being
the rejection or reelection of COnkling and
Plat by the New York Legislature.
The friends of the Ex-Senators, at the out
set, were perfectly confident that they would
he returned with promptnsss and enthusiasm.
But such confidence has in a wonderful de-
gree subsidized, and even thus early they are
framing reasons why they might fail.
Advices from Albany do not add comfort
TO their hopes. and, unless a combination is
effected with the democrats, which seems
next to impossible in their case, the election
of new men will be the final outcome of this
emeute.
The reason is obvious. Aside from the
fact that the act itself is puerile and revolu-
tionary and therefore unpopular, the fact
that the administration at Washington and
the administration represented in New York
by Judge Robertson, with all the power in
fluence and patronage which they command
can, if necessary, be exercised in favor OF
new men, will convince very many legisla-
tors in the Empire State that it is for their
best interests and the welfare of those they
represent, to come up to cordial support of
the President. The common sense view,
which prevailed strongly at the first that
Garfield, and not Conkling, was President,
is now made more distinctly evident. Not
that any unfair advantage will be taken of
the new vantage ground, but the actual fact
that the vantage ground is now with the
President will change the positions Of very
many who have been subservient to the die
tation of Conkling. If man once loses his
grip it is generally very hard to gain it
again.
Sometimes a rapid movement will do it :;
and here was the expectation Of our two ex-
Senators. If that fails them, as is now very
probable, they must be content to step down
and out of influence. With vantage ground,
influence and patronage gone, their chances
are reduced to the minimum. Conkling
thought he took the course at the flood tide:
but unless the signs of the times fail, he has
taken it at the ebb
Undoubtedly there will be some new men
put up by the republicans, at the coming
session, as already there is feeling of dis
49, g
Star-route business, which he has cham-
pioned has made him unpopular and I'M
desirable for important a position. And
furthermore, the administration is particular
ly DESTROYS that the officers of the Senate
shall not be of those who would throw every
obstacle possible in the way of its success.
Mr.. Gorham's attacks, through the columns
of the ''National Republican" have been
glaringly vicious and slanderous. +. J. b.

No Material Change in the Ballot

COMBINES REPORTED SPEECH A
REPORTERS INVENTION.
The Halfbreeds Leaning toward Hos.
kins.

NEW YORK, June M.-The speech which
has been telegraphed all over the country, pur-
porting to have been delivered by Conking at
stalwart caucus in Albany was a pure inven-
ton. The agent of the National Associated
Press was at the caucus and knows that no
such speech was delivered. No one made anv
speech. The talk was quite informal. Think
ing, perhaps, that Conkling had prepared a
speech which he intended to deliver, and fail
ing to do that gave it to Herald reporter for
publication, the agent asked Mr.. Conkling he :
fore he left town whether such was the fact
Conkling said:-T neither delivered speech,
prepared one, nor authorized anything in the
form of speech to be delivered. There was
ment or to make any,"
The fact is that reporter saw Conkling and
asked him what he had talked about at the
caucus. Conkling replied Nothing in par
ticular. / referred to the corruption which
has been alleged, and made some reference to
the present bribery investigation" Said the
reporter:-"I can pretty we'll surmise what
you must have said. Anything else, SENATOR"
."No, nothing else;" said Conkling. "Good
night" The reporter babe him "Good night
and composed the speech and telegraped it as
an actual deliverance.
Conkling's Quarrel with Madden.
The following account is given of the quar-
rel last night between Mr.. Conkling and Sena-
tor W. III. Madden, of Orange county:
Conkling and Platt were walking through
one of the Delavan corridors and met Madden,
who extended his hand to Conkling. who re-
fused it, and said, 81 do not give my hand to
men like you, sir; but that you are Senator |
should treat you as 1 think you deserve"
Madden was furious, and retorted that he
would throw off his Senatorial cloak for Conk-
lings benefit and meet him on any terms ho
desired. Conkling berated him for offensive
terms used in his speeches. and Madden re-
piled that he had never referred to him in per-
son, but he only alluded to political conduct
which he considered scandalous. A crowd
gathering, the two were separated. The en-
counter created intense excitement, and the
hotel corridors were thronged by the adher-
ents of both factions. Madden, at the half
breed caucus, narrated the occurrence and Bit
terly denounced the stalwarts and their leaders
for bulldozing tactics. He subsequently re-
turned to the hotel and repeated his denuncia-
lions publicly, calling the stalwarts fools, and
got into an alteration, from which he was re-
moved by his friends before either he or the
stalwArt adherent with whom he was quarrel
ing had an opportunity to strike blow.
The Balloting.
ALBANY, June A.-The joint convention met
at noon, Lieut.. Governor Hoskins presiding,
and voted for Senator in place of Mr. Conk-
ling, as follows:
