where 1t Is said the canvass will be con
tlnued. 1t is said they will return here
Monday and remain during the expected
long seige OF next week and the weel
after, az 1t 10 now understood that 1t wll

TEE LATEST COUNT
shows that Of the l05 Republicans In the
Legislature the Conklingitss have IS and
Ants so, This gives the oonklipgitsg the
right to call caucus, or would give them
that right II they had s. signatures to
their call, but they have not got the sigma
lures, They count several
BIRDS IN TUE 8U!H,
as do their opponents, owing to the re-
iusal Of some OF the members to sign
either paper, There is evidently q
better feeling among the stalwarIs this
morning than yesterday, while the anti g
are by no means despondenG, The Conk'
lingites are
STILL FIGHTING sTRENuoUsLY FOR A CAUCUS,
aud declare emphatiCalIy that the fate OF
the party in this state rests on such &C.
tion. To go into an election for Senators
without first holding a caucus, they say,
reduces the party to q mob, with no head,
no tail, no organization. II will break II
up hopelessly, and necessitate teorgan.

publican party In this State owes oil its
success TO the machinery 1t has now In
existence, and to breRk 1t Is to turn the
State over to the Democracy, and for
many years to come. The usual recess
till Monday night will be taken by the
Legislature, and the Oonklingites hope In
the interval to effect the obi sCt they have
In view by securing the regulate number
Of signatures 10 the call. Owing to the
by sickness, OF Mr.. Carpenter, OF
Duchess county, there are only l05 Re.
publican electors. These are said to be
divided, AZ for Conking, and AZ against
him, leaving II doubtful. "A majority oi
l06 Is So, and the Conklingites need Q
more to make that mSj Sjority, II Is said
they will get these, and
CALL A CAUCUS FOR MONDAY NIGHT.
Then iithe administrationisIs will not
go into caucus they will have to take the
Of turning againt the party
Of the State, and the Conklngites will
have to devote the nselves TO breaking the
dead lock. How this Is 10 bedone 1t is too
soon now to indicate.
The House will meet Monday and i'm.
mediAtely adjourn till Tuesday morning

PROBABLE COURSE or THE DEMOCRACY.
A caucus OF the Democrats Is called for
night in the Senate chamber.
The general opinion among them Is that
new names should be presented, and that
he question. Olarkson N. Potter will
be one Of the candidates. It
possible that the expected arrival Of
Speaker Randall will have considerable
Influence both upon the selection Of the
candidates and also upon the conduct Of
The Democratic campaign.
