The Position of ths Express
Bts.. Atc. s,
+. Albany, 2s.-A few members of ths
legislature returned late this evening.
Those who first arrived did not know OF
the OoRkliRG ARTHUR conferences 10 New
York until they reached this city. They
bad left their homes With the under
standing that it was not ct ell likely the
resigning senators would desire re-elec-
ton, and even if they did, they were in
structed By their constituents to vote
against Them Their snrprise, therefore,
was = conformation, they sAy.
Senator Wagner said: l haTe been
spending Sunday quietly at my home,
and know nothing new about the con-
test except the sentiment Of my eonstitu-
ents. The people along the Mohawk
Valley sre reused up on this question.
Nineiy-hys out Of every hundred repub-
llcans are opposed to the reelection,
snd are very determined in their oppo-
sition. =
Senator Pitts said: was surprised at
the feeling among my constituents, The
whole district is on fire and the storm Of
indignation against the senators il felt
everywhere. Any one who votes for the
return Of Senator Conkling digs his po-
litical grave, He can never be reelected
in that section.
AssemblymAn, Skinner said the people
seem Of one mind in their opposition TO
the reelection of Conkling and Platt.
Their ranks are swelling every day, and
the great mass OF the republicans are de-
termined that the Administration shall
be upheld. s #H
Assemblymen Peck and Chamberlain,
say they found their constituents united
on the question, and Saturday, at
meeting in Canton, st. Lawrence County,
he promised the people he would fulfil |
their wishes.
AssemblymAn I. A. Carpenter, of |
| Suffolk, said his constituents were Againstd
the action of Conkliog and Plat, but |
| be favored their re- election neverthe- !
| less.
So far as members of the legislature |
are concern ID, there are few attempts to
defend the action of the senator's now.
Ttose who speak in their behalf argue
that the sate cannot dispense with the
service OF Conklipg; that the Senate is
too evenly divided without the past
senator, 80 practiced and SO serviceable to
the republican party: aud they claim.
with fair treatment at the hands of
President Garfield, ConkliBg will sup
port his Administration much more
efectually than any other IenAtor in the
body. They say they feel iure Of his be-
ing reelected, but are only anxious 10
have the vote as nearly unanimous as
possible They claim clear majority
Of the 100 republicans, and expect TO
hold q Caucus.
As things look tonight, everything i
depends upon the caucus. II all the
republicans 20 into the caucus, the pro- ,
liabilities are COnkliDg will get ma
jority vote, AID then according to custom
the nomination must be made unRni-
nous. But it is said the Administration
members will not attend this caucus, or
ifthey do, will not be held by its action [
If they are outvoted. 4
The declaration of lhe Morning Er-
press, 9 state paper and stalwArt organ,
to-day, that Conkling will beliitle him
self if he enters the canvass asking for
reelection, has caused no little surprise.
At frat it was thought the article was in 7
spired by Governor Cornell, but this 10 !
denied on good authority, which says it 4
is only the Individual opinion OF one Of I
the editors. But it is regarded as a very
strange expression to be found 10 The :
columns Of paper which sll lait week /;
insisted upon Conkling's vindication by =
reelection.
Administration members, tonight, re- :
iterated their declarations Of last week, ,
that they would &c into caucus with the
stslwarls. II this programme ia carried
out and both sections ltGnd apart, demo-
Gratis voting for their own candidate, a
deadlock will be produced which will last
perhaps for weeks. The last new csndi- i
date, j. V. StArin, of Montgomery 5
county, is said to be a friend OF both q
Conkling and Garfield, and for this rea- Y
son he is urged as compromise. q
K. A. Carpenter, tonight, says Conk- 0
ling and PiAtt are sure to be elected, that !,
there will be caucus and all but two or .
three will take part in its proceedings.
When told that Award would not 90 in, Q
he said it never Was expected he would. p
The following is copy Of the leAdiDgF
editorial which will appear in the morn-
ing Express tomorrow: There need be,
nor shsll there be any question Of doubt
Rs to where the Express stands in the @
senatorial fight. 1t has always been 4
and is now more stRlwart than y
ever and is, first and last, until the con- Il
test shall terminate, for stalwart leaders, c
Conkling and Thomas Q. Plat, and
most heartily approves and endorses their
course; and we most earnestly appeal to d
every republican member of the legisls-
lure to afford them that support they so
richly merit by standing stesdfast to
true republican principles.
New York, GA woman who gave a
her name as Mrs. MRude ALsier, and 7
who claimed to be the daughter of an a

IN the legislature. In q few
hours the capitol will be swarming with
politicians from all sections of the state,
and members. who don't propose to enIe. I
the caucus to be bound to vote for men 3
who propose 10 fight the Administration,
will be tubject to a political pressure,
probably unparalleled in the recent
history Of The state. ConkliDgs presence
will be source of strength and sign OF
weakness. His elections have bsen
ususlly laid at his feet; and his coming
to Albany 10 pull wires with his own
imperial hand, and even to deta!n with
his august finger the ba.ton hole Of
coy member, is new thing for him,
and sharply marks the change in his
fortunes. To go into caucus or not, is
the issue upon which the wbols contest is
now shaping itself. The followers Of
Conkling have undoubtedly majority
Of republicans of the Legislature. Eighty
