Special to the Cincinnati Commercially
NEW York, May 22.-Neverthe.
less he consented to 20 to Albany
in company with Platt and make a
personal canvass. Plans were care
fully laid yesterday by which it is
hoped to force the administration re-
publicans to caucus at Albany and
thus secure the nomination Of Conk-
ling and Plat.
Many kilograms were sent to all
parts Of the state, urging immediate
and vigorous action on the part of
Uonkling's followers to influence
members of the legislature. The ma
chine will be worked to its utmost
capacity and although it is felt to be
somewhat out of joint, the leaders
think that by generous fabrication it
may be made to carry them through
the present difficulty.
A great deal Of dependence is placed
upon the personal efforts Of ConkliDg.
His presence in Albany, and his own
solicitation Of votes, his friends be-
lieve will offset the influence ofpublic
opinion upon the members of the leg
islature who we're elected by machine
influence. There will be a very large
gathering of Conkling men in Albany
to stiffen up the backbones of the
members of the legislature.
The attitude OF the senator's toward
the administration at Washington
was one of the points discussed, 1t
was agreed that this should be kept
out Of the canvass as much as posi-
bic.
Mr.. Conkling will not agree to
support the administration" said one
of those present, but he does not
think it wise under present circum
stances to assume public attitude of
hostility to it."
There was some comment that no
word was received from Postmaster
general James, and that he had de.
clined to take part in consultations
going on the last two days. 1t was
also remarked hal Governor cornell
did not accept an invitation to be
present. Postmaster Pearson was re-
ported to be as the vice presidents
house, but he said last night that the
report was untrue and that he had not
lot or parcel in any of these consulta
tions. A number Of other prominent
persons who we're expected did not
come or send any word. The gather
ing seemed confined wholly to Office
holders and ex-Ofice holders who owe
their political existence to the fact Of
being subservient followers of Conk-
ling.
A gentleman who was authorized to
speak for Platt said: "Mr. Platt was
present with Senator Conkling as an
invited guest at the vice-president's
house. They met there a number Of
friends representing various parts OF
the state, and these, with kilograms
and letters, gave assurances Of support
from every district iu the state"
Support for what ?" asked the re-
porter.
support Tor the ex-senators IN their
canvass for reelection at Albany.
They have decided to make a vigorous
fight, and if necessary will themselves
go to Albany for that purpose. They
will wait first to hear the result of the
preliminary canvass that will begin
tomorrow night. The senators both
think they will be reelected and fully
vindicated in their resentment at the
insults put upon them by the presi-
dent"

WASHINGTON. May 21.-Refering to
the rejection ofthe nomination ofWm.
i. Chandler, the New York Times to-
day says:
The s,nate has done many foolish
things since the extra session begun,
but its members can go home with a
Consciousness Of having deserved well
Of their country in this particular.
Commenting on this declaration, a
d.mocratic senator said this evening:
We democratic senator's feel compli
mented our solid vote did the bust
ness for Chandler" The Times stud.
iously avoids calling attention to that
fact. With the exception Of Don Cam
eron, the republican senator's, inelud-
ing Malone, voted for confirmation.

CATION of the star route frauds is
being pushed vigorously, the impress
sion is gaining grounds hereabouts
that there is a disposition to call a
halt. The fear is that il the probe is
put too deep some Of those who get
hurt will squeal, and the full exposure
will put not a few of the shining lights
of the republican party in a sorry
plight. The postmaSter-general is
tractable, and can be controlled. If
he is told not to go down TO bedrock,
he will obey orders. The trouble,
however, is that Attorney General
MacVeagh has been and is doing more
vigorous work than General James.
He is a reformer, and believes in
furnishing thieves. 1t is for this rea-
0 there is an element in Garield's
cabinet who want to get him out. 1t
is believed that Chandler was forced
upon him so as to induce him to re-
sign. Chambers rejection willrelieve
him of a good deal Of embarrassment,
and it is for this reason the democrats
insist be shall be rejected, so that he
cannot be reappointed, as he would if
action was not taken upon his nomina-
tion.

Cor, Courier-Journal, @ndl
The judge, who has the injunction
bill under advisement, must have got
a pointer somewhere, at least he is
acting like all sensible judges do; he
is considering the matter long and
carefully. He had taken no action in
the matter up to last night, and some
people do say that he will not thathe
is afraid to that is, afraid that his
action will be considered extraordin-
DRY Ito put it mildly, and the case
will be lost in the courts. Others say
he is a very conscientious man, and
his innerself tells him to do right and
let some other judge take this step
against his own people, his state and
his interests. But others say that
such is not the case that he will is
sue his fiat and say to the state comp
troller Don't refund a bond" But
rumors are too numerous to be men,
toned and too vague to be credited.
No one actually knows what will be
done as yet.
There is but one thing certain
about the matter Tennessee bonds
are declining. Whether this is the
result Of these rumors or not is hard
to tell, but it is safe to presume it is.
Holders are asking u for bonds here,
and there are no bids. If this injunc.
ton business is the work OF the
shorts to get even, they may be able
to accomplish their object without en-
joining the comptroller. If the bill is
filed in good faith, somebody will
make money anyway. W. shall see

THE MAIL SERYI BYCE RIVER
An Ex-COntractOr Makes n Few
Remarks on the Subject.

EDITOR LEDGER-The writer "Ap-
probo" in the Avalanche Of this morn
ing, makes SO many wild statements
in regard to the late Memphis and
Wittsburg mail route, that | wish to
correct a few Of his errors; also to
make q plain statement Of the facts in
the case. AT a regular letting of mail
routes in 1873, l was the lowest bidder
and received the contract for carrying
the mails between Memphis and
Wittsburg by steamboat. 1t being a
new route, there were but five post
Offices on it, but since then new ones
have been established, making at this
present time nine, including the one
at the mouth of the river and Wits
burg. The Offices at the mouth ofthe
river, Mariana, Madison and Wits
burg had other mail connections, it is
true, but by the river route they had
direct mail communication with
each other, and the offices
on the river can be furnished in
nc other way, especially in high water
and a wet season. Service was per
formed on this route twice a week
each way, and by it the city papers Of
Tuesdays and Saturdays, letters, etc.
mailed on boats were delivered at Ma.
rianna early the following morning.
All persons familiar with the st.
Francis river country know that it
will be impossible to supply its offices
during high water other than by a
boat. Mails can be delivered to those
Offices in skiffs, dug-outs, and on
horseback from the Mississippi river
and the railroads, but it will take
from ten to fifteen different mail
routes, and mail matter will have to
be carried from twenty-five to one
hundred miles around to reach offices
ten miles apart by the river, besides
being delayed four to ten days. The
service that | have performed cannot
be done for less than my contract
called for, as l lost full six thousand
dollars last summer by it. Add to
this over two thousand dollars for de-.
duetiCns from pay, and but little was
LIT for me during the business season,
If the pOstofice department would
give steamboatmen the privilege Of
performing service on our small
streams during low water by hand.
boat and horseback, at least one hall
the amount might be saved. Eight
p%ostofices on the st. Francis river are
now without mail facilities, and most
Of them are likely to be so for some
time to come. The people of Mem.
phis are likely to see a mail route on
st. Francis river from Helena to
Wittsburg and the Sunk Lands in less
than twelve months, and when it is
established, a considerable part of the
trade now coming here will 20 to the
thriving little city of Helena, unless
our people look after the interests Of
their friends in that country.

1t is current history that when Tom

was made that Uncle Sammy Tilden
was one Of his prosecutors. In one
sense, this is true. There is the au-

been eognizsnt of the starronte frauds

made the campaign upon such expo.
