A NEW FACTOR.
Antf-COnkling Stalwarts who Per.
sOnally Favor the Ex-Senat0rs,
bat Who Fear the PeODle.

ALBANY, May 24.-The scheme to re-
nominate Conkling and Platt meets
with concealed hostility from many ar,
dent friends of Conkling himself in the
Legislature. They say it will be i'm
possible for them To carry their districts
at the fall e. action if they vote for him.
They want to be returned to the Legis'
lature and think their seats may bt
needed to form Republican majority
In quiet way they are trying 10 Sc.
cure the withdrawal OF the senators
as candidates.
About the Legislature they have ac,
quired the name OF Auvi-C0ukiing
Stalwarts, which a politician OF keen
wit said reminded him otthe great sect,
the Anti-Calyiuistic PreShyterians. y
Mr., Raines, Of Orleans county, Assem-.
hied few men processing to be anti,
Conkhug Stalwarts in his room last
night. To-day far better attended
conference was held in the New Capitol
after the aaiourumen; otthe Legislature,
about fifteen members We're present,
Among these, it is said, Senators
Lord and Mills and A>Semblymcn
E4iues, Hurd. Hamilton, Seeiy, CowleS,
Phillips, Baker and {. II. EuSSel There
was a genera, agreement that Mr..
tuukling and Mr Plat would not be
returned u Washington, il the Repuh-
! llcau voters at their several districts
! cuu.d be pollrd on the question. Sill
inear.y all were reluctant 70 sign the
! pledge OF the Administration party that
they would not enter Republican eau
Gus as long as ConkIlng and Plat were
candidates.
Naturally the Administration Leaders
were little suspicious Of Such allies.
II was feared that this particular band
4 auti-Cunkiing Sta,wartS might be a
decoy 10 lure the Administration mem
hers on into Senatorial caucus with a
hope OF controlling it. Some Of the men
who attended the conference, notably
the Erie County, members were all 50 re-
Gently in positions OtpOwer in the tonk-
ling camp that ii was felt that II would
be dangerous 10 trust them. There We're
men who attended the conference, how
ever. whose Sinccrtt., could not hr doubt
ed, and who afterward proved it by
signing the Administration pledge not
10 enter the caucus. The anti-Conklng
StAlwarts adjourned their meeting with
out coming 10 any common agreement

of other bodies of ministers, and not few who
declare that however muffled by theologies, the
old accumulation is still the secret of the yet
spreading Wesleyan conquest. 1t follows from
all this that Methodism is less theology and
less a government than many suppose it to be.
1t now has thriving theological schools and not
a few vigorous theologians; but the seminaries
are schools Of the prophets rather than of the
philosophers, and a Methodist theologian somo-
times has the air Of being person with no
pressing home engagements in the line of his
profession The body of preachers and laymen
keep pretty stout grip on their thought about
experience, and they do not yet take very
kindly to scientific theology, preferring to stick
to what one Of them has called experimental
religion and practical godliness." The turning
of this aspect of Christianity, by preaching, to
the general mind has been successful because 1t
has been thoroughly done. One of the quaint
old phrases describes the preachers called
Methodists" they were not quite all preachers,
but they did great deal of preaching, and did
it to good purpose.
