lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSHI
ALBANY. May 3O.-The time having arrived when
the doubtful and hestating men must make up
their minds, it is possible to construct n Of
the Legislature which shall be reasonably accurate
In making up the following canvass of Republican
members the claims Of both sides have been con-
sidered, with view only 10 learning, rs nearly as
possible the exact status of the different men.
In the Senate the following Republicans have an
bounced themselves positively against the reelection
of Conkling and Platt: Mcsars Brdsall, Davenport
Forster Looms, Lord. Lynde. Madden, Mccarthy
Mills, Pitts. Robertson, Rockwell Schroeder
Sessions, Wagner. Woodln-10. This number
ties the Senate, giving the supporters Of the
two Senatorial desertcrs control OF the Upper
House only by the help Of the solid Democratic
vote and the casting vote of the Licutenant-Gov-
ernor combined. The following Senators will prob
ably vote for Conkling and Plat; Messrs. Astor,
Baker Braman, Eidman Halbcrt, Strahan, Wendo-
ver Williams and Winsow-0. OF those just
named, there is a possibility, though perhaps not
probability, that two or three may not feel that
they can Justly stand out for Mr.. COnkling great
length Of time, and endangcr the election of
two Republican Senators and thus the con-
troll of the United States Senate. simply to make
a useless demonstration Of loyalty to friend; hut
for practical purposes all must be classcd at tho
present time with Conkling.
nthc Assembly the following members are counted
upon 10 vote against Conkling and Patt uDder any
and all circumstances: Messrs Alvord. Baker,
Beach Beman Bingham. Binninger Bowman, But

A 81 being majority of the Republicans in the
Assembly.
The following list is of members who are conceded
by tho Administration men a. likely 90 vote for
Conkling: Mcssrs Armstrong. Bradley, Brchm.
Brodsky. Campbell, Curley. T.. A. Carpenter, Cull-

men whose nauIcs are in the foregoing list
known 10 bc in a serious quandary whether they
dare thus to vote against their constituents and
there are hopes that they will conclude TO respect
public opinion rather than ny in the face of it.
But the Administration men prefer. for the present
at least. to class them - opponents.

for Conkliug. but Of whose conversion there Is
