Cornell as Horrors Prom
ised by Gambling

New YORK, May 24th.-The Times AL.
bany special says: Should Cornell declare
himself candidate he will withdraw from
Conkling and the Administration people, and
would present loophole of escape. The
but to beat Conkling they would compromise
on the devil and make him United States
Senator. What makes Cornell specially res
tive is the prominence given Arthur in the
scrape, and the feud between the two men,
which is of long standing and personally very
bitter, is liable to break out any minute. The
machine leaders are turbulent, truculent fell
lows, and when they see imminent danger of
defeat they will not hesitate second to knife
another with the recklessness of savages.
Conkling is credited with being about to
tell some horrible things about his party.
One of the most sensational chapters OF Conk-
ling's late horrors will. it is said, be true
and veritable history of the manner in which
the Presidency was stolen from Tilden and
given to Hayes. Blaine and Garfield are to
he shown up as arch conspirators. When
Conkling turns his bulls.eye on them. it will
be seen that Blaine carried the jimmy and
drill and Garfield transported the dynamite,
and they both together committed the
atrocity. When Conklipg publishes to the
world the awful secret which has been gnaw-
ing at his vitals for nearly five years, the
Administration will go up in blue fame, and
the destruction will be terrific The next
chapter will be devoted to the task of prov
ing that the Administration sold itself to the
monopolies, and that Garfield and Blaine
have declared war on the martyred Senators
in obedience to the behest of Jay Gould and
his fellow money kings.
Both Factions Firm.
ALBANY, May 24th-Both factions are
firm, and steady in their position and their
claims. Conklipg's section say if the Senate
Caucus Committee refuse to join in call for
a joint caucus, they will get the signatures
of majority Of the Republican members,
and thus force the caucus The Garfield men
now say that they won't be governed by such
proceedings A deadlock seems therefore in
evitable Some Garfield members, including
Alvord, believe they have majority against
Conkling and Plat. This claim anuses the
Conkling men.
Opinions Differ.
NEW YORK, May 2fth.-The Posts Albany
special says The Conkling men claim that
a ma Drity of the Republicans will sign call
this evening for caucus Thursday. Judge
Robertson and the Garfield men say the Ad-
ministration men were never more numerous
or in better shape.
The Commercials Albany special says ::
The "half. breeds" claim that they have al
ready majority against Conkling and Plat.
Red Hot for the Administration.
CHICAGO, May 24th.-The Tribune's New
York special says: A gentleman just re-
turned from Chatauqua county Gays: 1.-The
people out there are red hot for the Admins
tration. took long drive around the coun-
try Sunday, and only found one ConkliDg
man in five hundred whom 1 met" The set
of the tide Of New York city, outside of the
machine lackeys and political henchmen, is
in the some direction.
A prominent balSter of this city spent three
days in the metropolis last week without
meeting a single banker or business man who
justified or had a word to say in defense Of
the action of the Senators.
One of the members of the Assembly from
Niagara county says the farmers, Conkling
and anti-Conkling, in his district strive with
each other in their eagerness to sign remon-
strancss against the reelection of the Sena-
tors.
The conversion of two stalwarts during
their visit home has been announced to-day,
and rumor says several more have decided To
abandon Conkling in the present contest.
Public address Threatened.
ALBANY, May 24.h.-Vice-P President Ar
thur, Conkiing and Piatt are expected on the
train which leaves New York at 1890 this
morning. It is reported that Conkling will
make {. public address.
BIaiue's visit to New York.
CHICAGO, May 24th.-The Journals Wash
ington special says Blaines visit to New
York is not believed to be on personal
business, as announced, but to bear directly
on the Colkling mess. 1t is believed that he
is consulting with the anti-Conkling leaders,
and will have hand in arranging the cam
paign. This causes weakening here among
Conkling's friends.
Petition and Pro.est.
ALBANY, May 24th.-In the Senate to-day
Mr.. Davenport presented petition signed
BY $50 citizens OF Corning, asking the Legis-
.latuee to aid President Garfield in the fight
being made by Conkling.
MIR. Hslberd presented a protest of citi.
zens Of Guilford, Chenapgo county, against
the reelection of Conkling and Plat
The Assembly passed the street-cleaning
bill for the city of New York.
Conkiing and Plat at the Capital.
ALBASY, May 24,h-The feature of the
DAVIS events, in connection with the Sena-
tofial question, was the arrival of the Sena-
tors themselves, accomp anied by Vice-Presi-
dent Arthur They arrived at Albany at
2:40P. H. It was announced that ex-senator
Conkiing would be the recipient of a serenade,
to which lie would respond in one Of his most
noWerful speeches. Whether this report had
a tendency to excite desire to see the leader
and hear him or not, il Is certain that hut
little interest was taken in the Legislature
Immediately after it was generally known
that Cotk,ing was on his way to the city.
Even the New York street cleaning bill
was gut through in a very short
time, followed by the Troy police bill.
a political measure OF eqnal interest.
and the Senate adjournment. In addi-
ton to this, both houses were to bold
afternoon session, but each adjourned over
till tomorrow morning. When the train
reached the depot quite a number were pres
ent. Conert ssrnan Crawley stepped on the
platform, followed by Conkling and Plat.
Conkling recognized several persons in the
crowd and shook hands with them, when
cheers were called for, and they were given,
being repeated twice. The reception
was cordial, though not as enthu-
siastic as Conkling has received on
former visits. Neither were there so many
people present. With the party were Po-
lice Commissioner French, of New York,
and ex-Assembiymau Hamilton Fish, Jr.
They proceeded to the Delavan House.
Shortly afterwards Governor Cornell drove
ling's room and had brief interview.
The guests devoted the afternoon to
quies private interviews with members of
the Legislature. There having been some
talk about ths Democrats CT the Legis-
lature siding with one or the other side,
all such reports were again denied
to-day, and so emphatically that it is
thought they will be set at rest. The Demo
Gratis will have candidates of their own to
vote for, and will vote for them only. A
canvass in both houses reveals no change in
sentiment. The men who last week declared
that they could not vote to return the resign
ing Senators made the same declaration to-
day, and those who insisted that the Senators
must be returned repeated their opinion so
also with regard to the caucus.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Circumstance.
NEW York, May 24.h.-The Torld's Phil.
adelphia special says: Simon Cameron, be-
ing interviewed on the Garfield-Conkling
imbroglio, said The differences in the Re-
publican party are not very serious, though I
cannot see how they are to be settled. He
regretted Conkling's resignation. Grant will
not be candidate for 1884, nor will it make
much differencei who is, unless there is some
way out of the present difficulties. Conkling
will probably be reelected.
1t is stated this morning, among the signi6-
cant circumstances surrounding Conkling's
movement, that at the Sunday conference
