The Struggle at Albany.

There will be warm work at Albany
for few DAYS. Messrs. Cenkling and
Plat are upon the ground to lead their
forces in person, while Vice President
Arthur is giving them what assistance he
can at a sale distance, and General Grant
is Fastening home from Mexico to lend
his influence to Lord Roscoe. Whilst it
has been often the case that Vice Presi-
dents in times past have not been in ac-
cord with the Administration to which
they belonged, this is the first instance in
our history Of which We have any knowl-
edge where Vice President espoused the
quarrel Of Senator against the President
and entered into open war with the Ad-
ministration OF which he is a part. What
ever may be the obligations TO Mr.. Conk-
ling under which Vice President Arthur
acts, he ought to have cast all personal
considerations behind him in this matter
and remembered only the dignity and
claims OF his position and the great body
of the republican party whose votes elect
ed him. His course is very remarkable.
Reports which credit Secretary Blaine
with being present at Albany or intend
ing to be there. are pure fabrications,
like the tales that are published con
corning his connection with the appoint
ment of Robertson. The republicans
of the legislature and the State at large
will be LETT to deal with the election
OF Senator without interference by
Mr.. Blaine or the President, although II
such interference were ever permissible
it would be in this case.
For week Albany will he a hot place.
Mr.. Tilden is taking warm interest in
the reelection Of Conkling, but we doubt
if he can command democratic voters
enough to elect Lord Roscoe. The APP
pearance OF this old democratic wire pull
Ter in the role of Conkling man in this
fight, is a very interesting part OF the eX-
hibition at Albany. and excites "A good
deal of Indignation among republicans,
AS it well may unless Conkling is going
over bag and baggage to the democracy.
