New York, Msy 23.-An Albany special
to the Evening Post states on the authority
of well Informed persons that i. seems now
practically impossible for both Conklipg
and Platt TO be ro elected The failure OF
the opposition can occur in only two cases /;
irst, through the inability Of the sdministra,
ton men TO unite on proper candidates, and
second, on the Obliged Willingness of Oonk~
ling men to secure democratic aid
An Albany special to the Commercial
says: This mornings Express comes out
with double loaded article announcing the
determination of Conkling ard Platt to er.
ter the field for reelection to the senate, and
procNc!s to road Mr.. Conkling lecture for
taking part in the contest. He can afford to
be defeated, IL adds, but he should not place
himself in the way of being humiis,ed. That
will only please his enemies. This article is
regarded of great significance, as showing
either that an irresponsible editor has made
a great mistake, or that Governor Cornells
promises are like pio crust, only to be
broken. The Express is an organ of Gov
erpor Cornell.

them Governor Cornell, are reported as ray

is the duty of the republican majority t
retain him.
