New YoHk. June L. The Tribune's Albany
dispatch says the ablest judges among the
administration men believe that one of the
two senators will have to be stalwart to satisfy
the large sta,wart element among the men
who are refusing to vote for COnkling. and
they have kindly feeling toward Governor
| Cornell.
The Tribune has the following: Plat told

would return to Albany as soon as they were
sent for, but he could not tell exactly when
that would be. He said there was to be no
meeting in this city over which Grant would
preside, but that Grant would be in Albany,
next week, to lend his influence in favor of
Conkling and himself
As to the result he thought there was pros
pect Of a long deadlock, but he had confidence
it would result in the return of Conkiing and
himself, and if not, then the democrats would
be elected. which would be great misfortune
to the republican party.

senators will stand as firm as the famous 500
at Chicago. The administration republicans
will be unable to agree upon two candidates
and the result will be return to the ex-sen-
atOrs of the votes that have been drawn away
from them. Gen. Grants presence in Albany
will help Conkling. There is no possibility
of coalition with the democrats, but if it
comes to point where twelve democrats can
elect Conkling and Plat they can get them
