al-bENLb fOLlNt VI Ihb HALF BhEEDos
New York, June 2d.-The Commercials
Albany special says: The "half-breeds' +"
policy is, first to elect Cornell in place of
Platt, by the aid of enough of Conkling's
present supporters to give them the required
81 votes. Before this is done the "half-
breeds are to require the assent of their
allies that the "half-b breeds" shall have the
absolute right to name Conkling's successor.
Then they will name Reuben E. Fenton, and
they will be compelled to assent.
THE "TIMEs" ON THE SITUATION.
New York. June 2d.-Tte Times, on the
Albany situation, says: A concentration on
Cornell could possess at least the recon-
mendation of soothing influence on the
Conkling ranks, which are reported as more
compact and more sanguine than they have
been during the last two days. They claim
at least three new votes from unspecifed
sources to-day, and profess to be able to win
in the end from the sheer inability of their
opponents to unite upon any candidate. The
majority, beyond doubt, of both parties do
not wish to see the mischievous system of
which ConkliBg has been the chief exponent
continued at Washington, with change only
in the management. Itmay be too much to hope
that the men who are to be chosen to succeed
Conkling and Platt should be known as
friends of the reform that has been made,
but they ought to at least realize that the
establishment Of new machine in the place
of the old one--a mere change of engineers
would fall very far short of what the Repub-
lican party desires and expects. There are,
unfortunately, some indications that this fact
is not appreciated at Albany. The least that
should be done is to send men to the Senate
who are not compromised in an opposite
direction. Ii this be not done, it will be
found that the victory gained will be very
barren one.
RUMoRED COMBINATION.
The Herald says: Dispatches from our
correspondent at Albany show that the
friends of Conkling are resolute. How far
they will follow him is the question of the
hour. There is talk of Democratic combira-
tons, that are feasible and probable, but at
the same time the matter is so grave that we
should not venture upon the responsibility OF
advising il. If such combination should
be made, it would satisfy the independent
element of the country. If one cannot be
Cesar he can be Coriolanus.
Combines DISPATCH TO MALONE.
The Herald's Albany special says: The
dispatch of Conkling to Malone has created
a genuine sensation here. Representatives
of the stalwarts say it has very great sig
nifcalce, and predictions are made that i;
will have marked effect on political affairs
Conkling has placed himself and friends OF

ground of that adopted by Garfield ant
Blaine. Il is claimed that the Senator,
blamed the Assemblymen who vote against
the re. election Of Conkliag, and practically
oppose the sentiments uttered in the senior
ex.Senator's dispatch.

DEMOCRATIC VIEW or THE SITUATION.
A special to the Express Democratic says
The half-breed Republicans are in terribl
auandary. In the beginning of the fgh
Senator Robertson and his staff mapped GU
the programme, which was not to be ex
tended, and which provided only for the de
feat of Conkling. That, of course, woul
also shelve Platt as well. As the day an,
hour rolled around when the more sanguin
of Roscoe's friends were forced to sckno~l
edge that their leader was defeated, the ad
mission induced the half-breeds not only t
abuse the ex-Boss, but to amend their frs
programme by attempting to replace Conk
