II Is hard TO find New Yorker here, moi
MIR. Conklng can be returned to the Senate,
and gathered from them tonight that they
not only believe he cannot be elected now,
but thet his chances will lessen from now
until December. Some predict that he
ALREADY sees defeat staring him In the face,
aud will decline when the time comes to
allow his name to be used as n candidate
for the Senate. Nobody, however, seems TO
think that he would have resigned had he
forcseen. the consequences. The tone Of
all the New York papers to-day tended
greatly to dispirit his followers and adj
mirers here. II must be provoking TO him
TO find that what he intended as brave act
has been geAerally construed even by his
political friends as foolish one, and that
instead Of exciting admiration among friends
and foes he has only succeeded in making
himself target for rldicule.
