Inc 1850 republican committee adopted
resolutions endorsing the action of President
Garfield on the Robertson nomination,
Albany, N. Y, May lS-The following
are the resolutions of the republican general
committee of Albany county:
Resolved, That we deeply deplor, the
course recently pursued by the president in
attempting to force the senate of the United
States to approve of the nomination of
William Ii. Robertson to the colleclorshin of
the port Of New York, when there
was no vacancy in said office, and
without any other cause than to pay per.
sonal political obligation, which obligation
was created through the treachery of said
nominee of the regular republican organizes
lfon in the senate, and we earnestly and con-
hdently express the hope that tho legislature
OF the state of New York viii promptly
stamp its condemnation upon the net by re-.
electing Senators Conklipg and Pla,t TO the
positions they have !olt called upon to resign
in the senate.
New York, May lS.-Tho Evening Posts

ture that two papers are in circulation to-day
for signatures. The first paper, in general
terms. agrees to stand by the president. The

Albany. New York, May lS.-There has
been marked change in the situation
Of the senatorial matter tosday. 1t is
evident that the members Of the legislature
have received sdvces from their consti,u-
encies. Those who,on Tuesday, were unpre..
pared to express themselves, have talked
freely to day and many signed the papers in
| circulation; taking position, who refused 10
do so when arst invited. One of
these papers expressed the fullest confidence
ia President Garfield, and endorses mis- action
concerning the New York s,ate nominations
to the United States senate. The other
declares that the signers will not abide by
any legislative caucus which nominates
Conklirg aud Plat. The first paper
was signed yesterday by many who would
not sign the other. To-day several of these
have signed the latter paper.
1t is claimed tonight that sipnatures
enough have been attached to declaration
to make it utterly impossible to elect Conk-
ling and Platt. and the anti-C Conkling section
arc exceedingly jubilsnt 9
The stalwarts exhibit depression, although
some OF them are exceedingly bitter. They
arc very reticent as to their intentions.
1t has been reported that neigher Conk.
ling or Platt Is candidest for reelection,
but this has been contradicted.
The outburst in the senate chamber when
MIR. Robertson's confirmation was announced.
was probably the most enthusiastic demon.
stration ever witnessed in such a place. II
broke down all barriers of decorum, and the
chamber fairly rung with cheers over and
over again repeated. Robertson was eyi-
IDENTIFY overcome.
Immediately after this demonstration the
anti.ConkliDg element seemed 10 swell in
proportions momentariy. II appeared 10
be an Opening of the food-gates of long
roht up feeling.
:, There has been some talk of
the senate refusing 10 90
into an election 10 fiji l6e
vacancy, but tho leaders OF tho anti, Conklng g
element this evening declare that the
"'e.t'h ena'i tahe piace tnat Inc
legislature shall no. adjourn until
o, choice shall ba made, and
that neither of tho resigning senators
shall DO returned. 1t Is now, they say, for
the CoDkling element 10 decide when tho
election shall be held. Tho anti. Conkling
men are ready, but tho govoraor still with,
holds notification from tho senate. This
non,aesion on his per. has given riso to u
suspicion that the Conkling men prefer not to
90 into IN election with this legislature.
Already tho names of candidates ar,
mentioned, among them William w.
Wheeler, William Evaris, Sherman s.
Rogers, Judge Folger, Warner Miller,
Reuben 4. Fen,on and CLANCY NJ. Depew.
The democrats will undoubtedly name
Francis Herman and ex Governor Lucius
Robinson.
