ALBANY, May 30.-The Evening Journal
makes this classification OF Legislators on
the Senatorial question Administration
Senate, Is; Assembly, 4s; total, So. Anti
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., 8; Assembly, 81;
total, 40. On the fence-Senate, /; As
sembly, Z; total, 8.
The Express says Senator Conkling
merely asks the Republican members Of the
Legislature to meet in caucus and deter
mine for themselves the attitude which the
Republican party will bear toward him.
Those misunderstood the situation and
m~isrepresent the caucus, who think that
Conkling and Platt have any reason to be
disappointed with the result of their OBJ
servations in this city. Last week the
Senators found that % Of the Republican
members of the Legislature prefer that
this State should be represented by them
in the Senate. Of this immense majority
they found a number who regretted their
reignations, while not countenanciDg them
for the course they have pursued because
Of the EN- barrassment at home. The fact
of this preference will explain the strenu-
GUS opposition to the holding of a caucus
by the Administration and its thick and
thin supporters. By preventing a caucus
they hope to avail themselves of the fears
of members who are worked upon by
threats of the men who bolted in 10, and
who signed papers then, as they do now,
for the purpose Of frightening the timid.
The issues are also falsely stated, in order
to further prejudice them against Conk-
ling.
The half-breeds say that the suggestion
to adjourn and meet in extra session in
November, comes from the stalwarts. The
half-breeds say this proposition is entirely
insufficient; they say they do not want to
consider any plans just now, all they want
is a vote in joint session, and no caucus,
nc plans, no machine contriyances what
ever. If Conkling and Plat can get 80
votes, now requisite owing to the absence
of Carpenter, they say they will accept
their defeat. They do not claim as yet
that there will be 80 votes against the re-
signing Senators. The fact is that no one
certainly knows how the vote will stand.
The stalwarts insist on a caucus before
Tuesdays session, and say they have
enough to make it imperative n binding
on all who desire to act with the Republic
can party in the State to obey the sum-
mons. The half-breeds, although averse
to a caucus will confer tonight and reveal
their discussions. The stalwarts are as
confident as ever; they believe the others
unable to unite on any one, and that the
reaction will ~re-elect Conkling and Plat.
Wants the Election Deferred.
NEW York, May 30.-The Tammany
Committee on Organization on Saturday
evening passed a resolution declaring that
in the judgment Of the organization the in
terests Of the Democratic party, and the
welfare Of the people, were not concerned
in the defeat or success of any particular
faction Of the Republican party in the con-
test now pending in the State Legislature,
and that self-respect and loyalty to the
principles and traditions of the Democ-
racy forbid any alliance or cooperation
with either the stalwarts or half-breeds;
and commencing the Democratic members
OF both Houses Of the State Legislature to
vote for lone but Democratic candidates,
and advising, in conclusion, that a fair re-
gard for the popular will makes it incum-
bent upon them, If possible, to have the
election deferred until another Legislature
shall have been convened.
Virginia Politics.
WASHINGTON, May SO.-The President
and Window and Blaine had their atten-
ton called to Virginia politics on satur-
day by conflicting delegations. Postmaster
Wilson Of Lynchburg headed a delegation
OF Republicans. who advised a straight Re-
publican campaign in Virginia. Wilson
states that the President and the Secretary
both favored holding a Republican Con-
v~ention, and if the Readjusters want to
unite with the Republicans on the terms
proposed by the convention, let them do it,
but that the Republican party must not be
disorganized.
Senator Malone and several Readiusters
also called on the President and Window
and Blaine, to urge the Administration to
declare in favor Of a fusion Of the Repub-
licans with the Readjusters, but the Ad-
ministration did not accept Mahone's
views. Malone is quoted as saying that he
will make a straight Readjuster ticket, with
hiddleberger at its head for Governor, and
will carry most Of the colored vote with
him, and thus d~isorganize the Republican
party.
Am Interview with Beecher.
LOUISVILLE, May 30.-The Washington
correspondent Of the Coufier-Journal has
interviewed Henry Ward Beecher. who
does not side with Conkling. Beecher
thinks that Robertson. with the Custom
house appointments in his pocket, will
prove invincible. Conkling ought not to
be reelected. He is wholly in the wrong.
He has never hesitated to employ the ma
chine and all the juggling ways Of politics.
He Is personally unapproachable with
money. Blaine is not and that is what
has kept him from being President. Grant
will support Conkling to the last. He ia
fastening to New York for that purpose,
and is making the worst move Of his life.
Grant il working against his own best in
~terests. Beecher was an enthusiastic third
termer.

cial from Albany says 1t may be accepted
