ALBANY, N. Y, June 4.-There is q marked
change In the outlook since yesterday morning.
The stalwarts are encouraged and the half
breeds depressed. Up to the balloting OF yes.
terday the admlnistrationists were boasting
that the deadlock would be broken In the next
few days by the election OF two administration
Senators. Now the most sanguine on that side
admit the end is long way off, while the stall.
warts are confident that they are masters of
the situation. They do not claim the re-elec-
ton OF Conkling ard Platt at present, but to
be able to defeat any combination unau The
hall breeds may make. Both sides are settling
down for long pull and preparing to pay the
board Dllls OF the members acting with them.
This is hard on the democratic members, who
are compelled to stay at their own expense
and see the factions fight 1t out. The most
sig nif1cant development is the meeting OF
a third faction. Heretofore the division

the latter the administration; now there is the
third or half stalWart faction. These are men

time that he resigned, and would vote for him
now were 1t not for public sentiment at home,
They are even ready to run the risk OF sacri-
hc1lg themselves by voting for Mr.. Conklng
whenever their votes will elect him. They have
commenced organizing. At their first meeting
they had fourteen republican mem berS present,
and now number twenty. They propose to
work for the election Of two stalwarts to the
Senate, and have agreed not to vote for q half
breed for United States Senator under any cir-
eumstanoes. and to oppose all attempts at COM
bination looking TO the election of stall
wart and half.breed. They pretend to have
hopes that they can ultimately unite Mr..

movement that gave a set-bac to the attempted

enables Mr. CCnkliDg to remain master OF the
situation and maintain the deadlock inden-
nlteiy, unless more pressure is brought upon
the members from home than has yet taken
place. The half breeds are now looking for
some sudden stampede like that In the Chicago
convention which nomin ated Garfield, but it is
improbable, for Mr.. Conkling holds votes
