The One Danger.
Ngw YORK, May 23d-The one danger il
the New York Senatorial complications j
that if Conkling fails to secure an election b,
Republican votes, he viii try to make com
binatlon with the Democrats in the Legisla
ture TOR the return of himself with Demo
cratic colleague. That he cannot be elected
In any other way seems reasonably sure.
| What Is Thought at washlngton.
| WASHINGTON. May 2Sd.-The news tha,
Conkling desires reelection reyiyes ths
| Tagging interest here. High authority states
positively that the Administration Republi.
cans at Albany will not go into caucus, as
CoDkling has declared his purpose to fight
| the Administration if re elected. Friends OF
the President do not feel called upon to enter
a caucus fixed to renominate Conkling and
Platt. There is less confidence here of De-
feating Conkliug than last week, as it is
known that the Democrats will help him
rather than any other Republican. If Conk-
ling cannot be beaten, his opponents will, it
until next winter. A number Of Democrats
have gone to New York since adjournment to
watch the contest.
The Administration Indorsed.
NEW YORK, May 2Sd-A mass meeting of
Republicans who indorss the President was
held tonight in Chickering Hall. Ex-Judge
Fithian presided. Dispatches were received
from Senator Alvord and John Gay, regret
ting their inability to be present. Resolu.
tions were adopted declaring that Republi-
cans of this city offer the President and
Administration their cordial support, not
only as the elect of the people in their
legitimate sovereignty but as the authorized
and competent exponents of Republican
principles. It's craftsmanship is worthy, and
will bring lasting advantages to the nation
by reducing the public debt and interest
charge. They have guarded the rights and
interests of our citizens. The resolutions
also inderse Robertson as Collector also de-
clared that the action of the resigping Sena-
tors was nothing more than high handed
attempt to usurp the Presidential functions
The First Ward Republican Association of
Brooklyn tonight took similar action.
Members OF the Legislature.
ALBANY. May 23d.-A few members Of
the Legislature returned late this afternoon.
Those who first arrived did not know of the
Conkling- Arthur conference in New York
until they reached the city. They had left
their homes with the understanding that it
was not at all likely that the resigning Sena-
tors would desire reelection, and even if
they did they were instructed by their con-
stituents to vote against them. Their sur
prise, therefore, was CONSERVATION.
Senator Wagner said, Il have been spend
ing Sunday quietly at my home, and know
nothing new about the contest except the
sentiment of my constituents. People along
the Mohawk valley are reused upon this
question. Ninety-fve out of every hundred
Republicans are opposed to their reelection,
and are very determined in their opposition"
Senator Pitts said, +" l was surprised at the
feeling among my constituents. The whole
district is on fire, and storm of indignation
against the Senators is felt everywhere. Any
one who votes for the return of Senator
Conkling digs his political grave. He can
never be reelected in that section"
Assemblyman Skinner said, "People seem
of one mind in their opposition to the re-
election of Conkling and Platt. The ranks
are swelling every day, and the great mass of
Republicans are determined that the Admin
istration shall be upheld"
Assemblymen Peck and Chamberlain Of
st. Lawrence. say they found their constitu-
ents united on the question, and Saturday,
at meeting in Canton, St. Lawrence
county, they promised the people that they
would fulfill their wishes"
Assemblyman E. A. Carpenter, of Suffolk,
said his constituents were against the action
of Conkling and Platt, but he favored their
reelection. Nevertheless, so far as members
of the Legislature are concerned, there are
few attempts to defend the action of the
Senators. Now, those who speak in their
behalf argue that the State cannot dispense
with the services of Conkling. The Senate
is too evenly divided to part with Senator
so practiced and so serviceable to the Repub-
lican party, and they claim that with fair
treatment at the hands of President Garfield,
Conkling will support his Administration
much more effectually than any other Sem
ator in that body. They say they feel sure
of his being reelected, Dut are only anxious
to have the vote as nearly unanimous as pos
sible They claim clear majority of the
LOG Republicans, and expect to hold a caucus.
AS things look tonight, everything de-
pends upon this caucus. If all the Republi-
cans go into the caucus, the probabilities are
that Conkling will get majority vote, and
then, according to custom, the nomination
must be made unanimous but it is said that
the Administration members will not attend
this caucus, if they do, will not be held by
its action if they are eutvoted.
The Express" PromuIgates IFS Platform.
ALBANY, May 23d-Following is copy
of the leading editorial which will appear in
the Morning Express tomorrow "There
need be none, nor shall there be any question
of doubt as to where the Express stands in
the Senatorial fight. 1t has always been a
stalwart, and is now more stalwart than ever,
and is first, last, and until the contest shall
terminate, for the stalwart leaders, Roscoe
Conkling and Thomas G. Platt, and most
heartily approves and indorses their course,
and we most earnestly appeal to every Re.
publican member of the Legislature to afford
them that support they so richly merit, by
standing steadfast to true Republican princi-
ples."

CHICAGO, May 23d.-The Inter Oceans
New York special says Conkling permitted

publicans who pledged themselves to keep
