ONE VOTE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUSEI
| ALBANY, June 3.-For reasons which made
clear elsewhere the expected falling off in the vote
OF William A. Wheeler and increase in the vote Of
Governor Cornell did not take place to-day. The
single ballot that was had showed, in fact few
changes of Importance Mr.. Conkling gains one
vote yesterday-that of Mr.. Bradley, of Catta-
raugus, who has been the subject of innumerablc
rumors for days past abont to declare for COnk-
ling, but has not verified them before today. To-
day, however, he went as far as he could go, and
voted for Mr.. Platt Also showing that he had been
induced in some way to cast in his fortunes
with the desperate faction who now la
boring to throw the control Of the United
States Senate for the next four years into the
hands of the Democratic party rather than see two
Republicans there from the State of New-York who
would be loyal to tho Administration There was
another change to Mr.. Platt-that Of Mr. Evans, OF
Oneida, who has been voting for Mr.. Conkling for
the short term and for Governor Cornell for the long
term. So that Mr. Platt has gained two votes, al
lowing him his absentces, while Mr.. Conkling has
lost one and gained one leaving him practically
just where he started. This would tend To show
that Mr. Patt is bigger man " than Mr.. COnkling
if it were not that he started in last Tuesday six
votes behind Mr.. Conkling.
There were ten abscntees and paired members on
the ballot for Conkling's successor. There were
about dozen changes, most of them by friends of
Nr. Lapham, who voted for him for this the short
term apparently with the idea of making room for
Governor Cornell for the long term. and thus being
in position for alliance with him. if the oppOrtu-
nifty should arise There were only two changes IN
the Senate vote. Sena or Forster who was paired
yesterday with Senator Asor was present to-day to
vote for Sherman :. Rogers as heretofore. Senator
Madden. who has been casting his vote for Con
trolcr WadswOrth, voted tO-,lay for Senator WOodn
to the latters great surprise and amusement, and
amid the goOd-natured laughter of the Joint Con-
vcntion. In the Assembly, Mr. B0ardnian, of
Tompkins, changed from Fcnton te Silas b.
butcher Mr. Bradley, as already noted from Fen
ton to Conkling; Mr.. Crap,er of ST. Lawrence
County, who accomplished yesterday the astonish-
ing feat of pairing with member of his own side
and thus depriying it of two votes present to-
day to renew his vote for William \. Wheeler Mr.
Gor-linc. of lIcrkimer, changed from Samuel :.
Edick To Henry Ward Bcecher raising brief laugh
which caused General Spinoa to remark, not in
appropriately. that he hoped somebody would vote
for Bob lngersoll before they got through. This
instructive episode being concluded, the roll-call
continued. Mr.. Hunter. OF Cayuga, changed from
William a. Wheeler to Governor Cornell Mr. Pal
mcr of Wyoming. changed from Cornell to Crow
ley for whom hc had already voted for the long
term, changing it afterward proved so as To give
ms vote to Governor Cornell for the long term and
Mr. Crowley for the short term DIR. Russell
Of Oswego, changed from Edick to Wheeler
and Mr.. Turck from Hamilton Fish 10 Sher
man = Rogers. The changes TO Congressman
