THE CONFERENCE.
The Republicans of both houses, during the
recess of the convention, met IN the Assembly
chamber. Senator Mccarthy was called to
the chair. The roll was called, and twelve
Senators and sixty two Assemblymen answered
to their names. It was moved that the roll
be called for the purpose of nominating
q candidate for United States seua-
tor to be voted for on the next joint conven-
ton. Draper offered as a substitute, that it
is the sense of this conference that the caucus
committee should call caucus for this after
noon, and that special committee be ap-
pointed to request the caucus committee to
ID Ike call, and in case Of refusal on the part
of the caucus committee, the special commit
tee call caucus. He sustained the resolu-
tion by arguing that n caucus must be held,
and intimated that unless one was held he and
the other stalwarts would retire. Hayes also
opposed turning this conference into a caucus,
but maintained it was in the power of this
conference to call caucus Senator Robert
son stated that he had been requested, and
was assured by those making the request
they would abide by the result. Carpenter, III
arguing for caucus, said there was less than
amajority present. The chair called on the
sc retary to announce how many were pres
eDt. He said seventy-two, which was over
majority Robertson said he was now told If
this conference would adjourn to 5 p. IN. to-
day they would all come in and join with the
others. Woodin asked how many had said
this? 1t might be only two. There were
members here who refuse to answer to their
names Senator Hubert asked that his name
be called. 1t was called, and he said the crisis 1
had now arrived. If there was not union now
the Republican party of the State would be
hopelessly divided. He was for un-
ion and harmony. His remarks were
received with applause. Pitts said
that the time had come for action and
no more talk of the past ought to be indulged
in. GApplause1 He wanted the roll called
and each member name his choice. [Applause]
Question was taken on the motion for q eau
Gus at p. m. Senator Woodin favored 1t,
and said the time could be spent in shaking
hands over the bright prospects IN view, and
it was carried. The conference took recess
to 2:30 p. m.

know YOU come here tonight not so much
to congratulate my colleague and myself on
the high offices which have been proffer ed
by the legislature, as your day to rejoice, one
and all, Il t the harmonious and auspicious
ending Of q most bitter contest, that has
been waged within the ranks of the Repub-
Iican party for the last ten weeks
| contest which is bitterness and
fercen-ss, has never been surpassed since the
Republican party was organized-a contest
which at one time seemed could not be ended
except by disruption of the Republican party
But at last wise counsels prevailed, and to-day
the contending factions have united and
have harmoniously settled the DIFF
ferences of the past. From to-
night we will blot out of the vocabulary of
names of factions under which we have con-
tended. (Applause.) Tonight we lay down
the banners of the factions which we have
been holding and once again we rally 'round
the old banner of the Repub-
lican party, which we followed
to victory in 1850, IN 1864 and in 1868 aye,
down through all thsse years without failure
of victory, up to the present time. Zap
