which will astonish you. Ii we don't
get them the Stalwarts will stand firm
and there will be an adjournment with
out an election.
Gov. Cornell will then call a special
session of the Legislature just before the
election next fall, and then if the Half
Breeds

Party
at the polls by carrying this question
before the people and continuing the
fight in popular elections, on them will
rest the odium OF turning the Republi-

lists are confident that some sort OF
compact has been agreed on between
Conkling's friends and the Democrats,
bv which ths election Of two Republi-
can Senators is to be postponed, il it
cannot be defeated. 1t is certain that
an attempt will be made to reconyene

ture adjourns without a successor being
chosen, Judge Robertson will then ac'
cept the position OF Collector, and by 80
doing will vacate his office as Senator.
This is one vote lost 10 the Adminlstra-
ton men in case the Legislature is again
called together, and the duties OF collec-
tor will prevent him from takisg so
active part IN the contest.
1t is also hoped by the Stalwarts
that the feeling against Conkling and
Piatt on the part OF the Republican vot
ers throughout the State will gradually
abate, and il an extra session Is called,
some OF those Senators and Assemblymen
who are now afraid 10 face the indigna-
ton OF their constituents, should they
vote for the ex-Senators will then be
more plant. All the energies OF the
stalwart leaders for the balance OF this
week, it was said last evening, will be
directed toward securing an adjourn
ment.
