Isnecial TO the SENTINEL

Albany special says Inc city is nearly
empty of legislators, who are learning the
views of their constituents before the elec1
ton. Coming down to hard facts, 1T is
seen. that the half breed brags are nwa
ranted. Conkling's friends are undemon-
~strative because they have been without a
leader. The vice-President will be here
and is posting himself. People seem to
forget that party rules must be observed /;
that Republicans who refuse to go into
caucus or be bound by it will be ssBolters,"
and as such expelled from the party organ
~ization, and henceforth have nothing to
say as to party management, and be ex-
PEELED from conventions. Thus half-breed
boasts don't pan out as well as a few days
ago. !
The Express Albany special says: I'M
~questionably the half breeds have the VIC
tory in their grasp if they can utilize it.
The leaders are shrewd, careful men, but
no match for the other side in wire-pulling
and political trickery and taking every
slight advantage. Certainly no compro-
mise has been effected which will return
Conkling or Platt. Even Conkling's pres
ence here, which is a contemplated event,
could not do it.
