Resolved, That We deeply deplore the
course recently pursued by the president in
attempting to force the senate OF the U nlteo
States to approve OF the nomination OF
William Fl. Robertson to the collectorship OF
the port of New York, when there
was no vacancy inc said office, and
without sny other cause than to pay per-
sonal political obligation, which obligation
WAS created through the treacbery of said
nominee of the regular republican organiza-
tion in the senate, and we earnestly and con-
fdently express the hope that the legislator
of the state of New York will promptly
stamp its condemnation upon the act by re-
eleclipg Senators Conkling and Plat to the
positions they have felt called upon to resign
in the senate.

Albany, New York, May 1S--There has
been a marked change in the situstion
of the senatorial matter tosday. IL Is
evident that the members of the legislature
have received advices from their constitu-
encies, Those who,on Tuesday, were unpre-
psred to express themselves, have talked
freely to day and many signed the papers in
circulation; taking position, who refused TO
do so when fret invited. One OF
these papers expressed the fullest confidence
in President Garfield. and endorses dis action
concerning the New York state nominations
to tho United States senate The other
declares that the signers will not abide by
any legislative caucus which dominates
Uonklirg snd Plat The first paper
was signed yesterday by many who would
not sign the other. To-day several OF these
have signed the latter paper.
1t is claimed tonight that signatures
enough have been attached to q declaration
to make it utterly impossible to elect Conk-
ling and Plat, and the anti-Conkling section
are exceedingly jubilant,
The stalwarts exhibit depression, although
some of them are exceedingly bitter. They
It has been reported that neigher Conk-
ling or Platt IS a candidest for reelection,
but this has been contradicied.
The outburst in the senate chamber when
Mr.. Robertson's confirmation was announced,
was probably the most enthusiastic demon
n,ration ever witnessed in such q place. "
broke down all barriers of decorum, aud the
chamber fairly rung with cheers over and
over asa;n repeated. Robertson was evil
IDENTIFY overcome.
Immediately after this demonstration the
anti Conkling element seemed to swell In
proportions momentsrily. Il appeared to
be an opening of the food-gates of long
pent up feeling.
There has been some talk Of
the senate refusing to go
into an election TO HI the
vacancy, but the leaders Of the anti Conkling
element this evening declare tibet the
election shall take place; :. the
legislature shall 70 J,urn until
choice shall Is mace, and
that neither of the resiguing senators
shall be returned. II is now, they Say, for
the Copkling element 10 decide when the
election shall be held. The anti Oonkling
men are ready, but the governor still with
holds notification from the senate. This
non-sction on his part has given rise to q
suspicion that the Conkling nen prefer not to
20 into m election with this legislature.
Already tho names Of candidates are
mentioned, among them Willism w.
Wheeler, William Esarts, Sherman s.
Rogers, Judge Folger, Warner Miller,
Reuben f. Fenion and CLANCY NJ. Depew.
The democrats will undoubtedly name
Francis Herman and Ex-Governor Lucius
Robinson.
