The Albany Contest.

The new shape which the struggle at
Albany has taken on puts Mr.. Conkling
in worse position than ever il he con-
tinues to resist it. A fairly called caucus
was fairly held, and Lapham and Miller
were fairly nominated in that caucus as
the republican candidates for the Senate.
In resisting their election Conkling places
himself in opposition to the action OF a
regular caucus. a step which he has here
totore held should be regarded as dis
qualifying the person who so offends from
fellowship by republicans. BY his own
reasoning and dictum therefore, in regard
to party discipline, his opposition to the
action of the caucus which nominated
Lapham and Miller puts him outside of
the pale of the republican party.
The plan of the Conkling men was to
adjourn the legislature next Wednesday
without electing the senators under the
plea that Chauncey Nj. Depew, ''the rail-
road mems candidate. ~ had bought up the
legislature. Mr.. Conkling was to have
speeches spead all over the State denounc-
ing monopolies and corporations and ap-
pealing for reelection on the ground
that he is an anti-monopolist, but the
withdrawal of Mr.. Depew spoiled all this
scheme. and the nominations made in re-
publican caucuses have added immensely
to Mr.. Conkling's difficulties.
OF the candidates nominated the Trib-
une says: both gentlemen are well
known to the people OF this State. They
have both served it with distinction in
Congress. Both are men OF unspotted
character, and neither has been promi-
nently identified with the bitter conflict
which for three months has been troub-
ling the peace Of the party in this State.
Mr.. Miller has not been so strongly OPP
posed to the resigning Senators as to
make him unacceptable to their friends,
and the Garfield men, in presenting the
name Of Mr.. Lapham, have been true to
their policy of concession. in selecting a
known and avowed adherent ofM Conk.
ling. II there is any desire for harmony
among the Conkling men, any interest in
the present and future welfare of the par.
ty. any desire to see New York represen
ted by republicans in the Senate. any feel
ing or purpose whatever, except of blind
and servile devotion to one man and bit
ter and vindictive determination to Oppose
the administration OF Garfield, whether
he lives or dies, they will accept this fail
and honorable offer Of compromise il
which they get all they could ask, and IA
more than they have the right to demand.
The Conksing men have not yet yielde,
but we hardly think another week cal
pass without an election of two republi
can senators at Albany.

ALBANY, July IL. A response has been sent
to the committee of stalwarts asking that the
Joint caucus committee call caucus. After
reciting the conditions under which the caucus
which nominated Miller and Lapham, was
call it proceeds. In pursuance fthat call the
caucus was held and was attended by sixty
eight republican members of the Senate and
Assembly, being nearly two-thirds of the
entire representation. At that caucus candi-
dates to fill the vacancies caused by the
resignation of Conkling and Plat were duly
nominated. There had been no complaint
made that the proceeding were in any re-
spect unfair. 1t was open to every republic
can member Of the legislature and on the
call of the roll the name of each and every
republican member was called. The nOmi-
nees severally received the unanimous ap-
proval of the caucus. In view of these facts
the majority of the state committee decline
to reopen the question of candidates on the
ground that the committee has no power in
the premises. The power to call joint eau
Gus for the nomination of candidates for the
| U. s. Senate has been excessed by the super
| Tor authority and is exhausted. Ifthe committee
were to assume the authority to call another
caucus, it would be an act Of ursupation and
lead to complications much more embarrass-
| ing than any which have hindered our efforts
| to discharge an obvious public duty.
The objections you are pleased to urge
against the candidancy of Messrs Lapham and
Miller are because they chance to be Repre-
sentatives in Congress, were duly considered
in joint assembly, and later by the public
press, and not deemed of sufficient import
ance to justify the hazardous experiment of
retiring the candidates who have been fairly
nominated and concurring whose fitness no
doubt has been suggested.

THE OPINION
OF DR.. Frank Hamilton in Regard to the
Different DISPATCHES.

New YORK, July IL. DIR. Frank H. Ham,
ilton said to-day that the latest symptoms in
the Presidents case indicates nothing but a
gradual improvement. In referring to the
Washington dispatches, which spoke of the
Presidents symptoms as more serious than
the public supposed, said: The account was
greatly exaggerated. Garfield was not well
man by any means, but the present symptoms
were not alarming to the surgeons. More
precautions were taken by the attending
physician to prevent excitement in the case
of the President, than in an ordinary case,
and these precautions are what may alarm
the laymen. But the President is getting
along well, and nature may be expected to do
almost all that is necessary to be done. There
will be no necessity to probe for the ball, un.
less the healing Of the wound is not health.
full, or indicates internal abscess or concealed
suppuration. If the healing of the wound
seems to be natural, and healthfnl, nothing
need to be done.

Guiteau was in membership with the Soc

act grew out of the falsity of the present
state of society; that the elevation Of a cit
izen to such an exhalted Office as President,
is opposed to the principle of equality, and
imperils the interests of society by melting
desperate and reckless men to the crime of
assassination, and that the President and
