by tho past weeks work, aud will probably

NOR to the effect that tho consultation
tonight was to agree upon two candidates
in place OF Messrs. Conkiing and Plat, and
that these candidates were to be placed in

tune to elect them, was denied by person

THE CoNKL1SG MEN CANNOT FORCE AN AD-
TOURNAMENT.
1t is claimed BY n close friend Of Mr.. ConR-
ling that there are thirteen members now yot-
ing against him who told him that as soon us
it would do any good they would vote for

teen Administration mcn who are ready to
