BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
Tracy, who appeared in place of Bags,
urged further adjournment until Thurs
day, which was reluctantly agreed TO.
ConkIiDg addressed stalwart con-
ference last evening,an counseled them
to be steadfsst TO the party of true repub-
lican ideas. and beware # the corrupt
group politicians striving to destroy it.
He referred to the bribery cases, and
said true republicans would disdain to
employ such means to accomplish any
ends, as were employed by the supporters
of Depew. He alluded to the ruling
power Of monopolies in the country IN
various corporations arrayed against the
stalwarts. It was difficult to fight wealth,
but especially when millions were IN
scrupulously used by corrupt agents. It
was time for the republicans to put them
selves on record. He had no doubts as to
the final result of the contest between cor

of his party thould expose corruption by
whoever it is cOuntepRnced, and not
shield them from the consequences of
such crime. He mentioned some of the
leaders among the half-breeds, ard asked
ifany honorable man can for q moment

points, warning his friends of attempts
still making to prevent free expression
Of opinion by the legislature as TO the
senatorship. He opposed the com bina-
tons to elect stslwarts and half breeds.
The senators must be pure stslwsrts and
above suspicion. If the half-breeds still
pressed for election unfit candidates and
continued outside the pale of the party
organization, and it was impossible to
elect stalwarts, theyi should adjourn and
allow the rank and file of the state to set
tie the issue This failing, stalwarts
should stand by their colors until the 3lst

the senatorial courtesy question and Sim

The democrats held caucus this after
neon. Jacobs explained the sudden
withdrawal of his name by saying that
he had urged it when informed that Gov
ernor Cornell would declare the votes
cast for him to be void if he were elected
and would declare the next highest can

The democrats unanimously nominated
