New York, June 2.-Conkling left
Albany tonight for this city, being
called away BY legal business. He viii
return to Albany a. soon as his business
is completed. ss
The Graphic's Albany special says
There y trouble " the Gang .0f the ID,
ministration msn, growing out Of the
multitnde of candidates. q The di6I-
Guilty IL to find q stalwart who can
break the administration column. The
Depew men want Cornell; others want
Crowley or I4apham. There is intrigu-
ing in each direction. The friends Of
Conkling are boldsr this morning than
at any time during thu. contsat- The
stalwart organ calls npon the republic
cans to retain Conkling - the leader of
the party, and asks his opponents to
name their man whois to take his place
~ the leeder.
Itis IN the failure of the half breeds
to unite upon q candidate that the
stalHarts see their opportunity. 1t is
suspected Conkling has had several
members active with the half breeds,
who are kept there for the express pur-
pose Of preventing an agreement on
candidates.. H y
A special to the Express (dem.) says:
The half-breed republicans are in a ter
rible qaandary. In beginning the fiaht
Senator Robertson and his stan mapped
out q programme which was not to be
extended, and which provided only for
the defeat Of Conkling. That, OF
course, would sllslye Platt as WELL As
day and hour rolled around, and when
most saneuine, and when Roscoe and
friends were forced to acknowledge
their leader was defeated. the admits
sion induced the half-breeds not only
to abuse the ex-boss, but to amend their
programme. by Attempting to replace
Conkling and Platt with two pro-
nounced enemies Of the stalwsrts. This
amendment has exhibited their first
mistake, and forced . halt which may
infiict irreparable injury. 1t is to get
out Of this unfortunate qsiandary tliata
secret meeting was held last night.
One thing Is certain, il the determine
tion to land two half-breeds is the pro-
gramme, It will be futile, and for this
reason: Conkling has thirty-fve mem
bers who viii cling to him until he re-
tires from the race, and after that to
any two men who are in sympathy with
him. Besides these, there are thirteen
members who are anxious to cast their
ballots for Conkling, but dare not do
so-and accept the sentence Of their IN
dignAnt constituents. This, then,
makes q total Of forty-eieht votes;for
the stalwarts. which :. y twepty-tw
more than is required for . dead lock.
Should Robertson !. and Woodin, to
break that dead lock, extend the olive
branch and accord two or one Of ya-
caucies to Cohkline'b friends, it would
be regarded - a virtual packdown and
weakness which woold tend to rebuild
the waning power Of the opposition.
The 1slegrum's speejal; The ballot
ing 30 far leaves the dtuation as great
puzzle as ever, and should the stall
warts, acting like the 306 at Chicago,
keep up an unbroke1 front from day
to day, there is no clanesI whatever OF
administration candidates being elect

for Conkling and Platt, said: ~. 4
"It 10 satisfactory enough to ms a. it
stands. We have sufficient yotss to
command the situation, and the devel-
opnents expected to-day and to-mor-
row will give us increased strength.
The votes for Cornell and Crowley will
not stay with them but viii come back
to Conkling and Platt. The prospect
is more hopeful for the stalwart side
than 1t has appeared, since the begin.
