The leader Of the administration men
said yesterday he thought that when any
candidate received sixty-five votes that
would follow Immediately.
The Telegralh's Albany special says:
A prolonged session is inevitable, and
balloting may continue to July 4. The
half-breeds are quite as determined rs
the only way out. The half-breeds say
be returned from here.
these men don't know Roscoe Conkling.
He didn't enter the contest without
full appreciation of what he. was to meet
and didn't 20 into it to be beaten. He
will win, and don't you forget it.
An assemblyman who spent Sunday
with Arthur said that Conkling is in the
race to stay, and if you knew the points
I know, you would agree with me that
his election cannot be prevented, and
without democratic help, too. It is nom
sense to talk about his bargaining with
the democrats.
The stalwart republican caucus, which
was to haye been held tonight, has been
indefinitely postponed.
The Tribunes Albany special says:
The best political judges here are inclin-
ed to look for an election of two republic
can senators before the legislature ad-
journs, and the democrats, who were yes
terday swimming on bladders in sum.
mer sea of glory. are stranded on the
hard possibility that the next legislature
will not be consulted regarding success
sOrs to Conkling and Platt.
To-morrow's ballot will be watch ed
with great interest. If Platt should lose
any of the votes which he had to-day, il
will be only reasonable to expect the
choice of one senator before the end oi
the week. Judge Robertson said to-day
that after to-day's disclosure of Platt's
weakness he should look for the election
Of one senator by Thursday. Other re,
publican members expect to-morrow'e
ballot to be much like that of to-day.
The Conklingites to-day said that he
intends to make and hold o dead-loc anc
in the fall elections personally canvass
the whole state more completely thar
ever, thus having an even chance of Sc
curing the legislature tore-elect him il
January. Such success would lift hin
to the highest pinnacle in American po
litical history, and put him in the felt
as the winning presidential candidate TO
1884.
The Posts Albany special says: Th,
anti -Conklingites will not concentrate
until Conkling's votes melt away. Prob
ably they may have 81 votes and elec
two candidates, although it is yet to-
early to predict this.
Carpenter says that Conklings iron
clad votes will stay by him to the end.
Robertson wouldn't be surprised if a.
actual election would be held before til
week was oyer.
The Express Albany special says
Should the deadlock continue until hex
week, the legislature will adjourn. Th
governor says he will not reconvene til
/. Legislature, but let the polls settle til
dispute.
