Albany Matters.
A committee representing the Conhlingite
members addressed a public letter to State
senator Mccarthy, chairman of the republican
caucus committee of the New York legislature,
urging that new caucus be called on the
ground that the one at which Lapham and
Miller were nominated was irregular, and that
the nominees are not the choice of the republi-
cans OF the state. The committee also urged
that the election of Lapham and Miller to the
United States senate will endanger the suprem-
acy OF the republicans in the next house of
representatives. Senator Mccarthy has re-
piled to the committee, telling the members
that each OF them, and every republican mem
Der OF the legislature was invited by public
notice, by circular, and personally, to attend
the caucus at which Lapham and Miller were
nominated; that two-thirds of the republican
legislators did attend; that the caucus and the
nominations were regular. 1t is thought the
deadlock will soon be broken, as the feeling
favorable to the holding of a caucus satisfac-
tory to all is gaining ground -A. uGy,
The stalwarts did not keep faith with the
democrats at Albany ON the 18th. The motion
In the assembly for final adjournment on the
10th, proposed by Dayton, democrat, was voted
Tor by fOrty-fve democrats and only seven stall
warts, and was defeated. This made the demo-
Gratis quite angry, and they threatened ven
geance on the faithless stalwarts. They threat
ened to remain away when senators are voted
for, and thus give the administration men an
opportunity to elect Miller and Lapham. The
display of democratic indignation evidently
weakened the Conklingtes for upon taking
vote next day the resolution for final adjourn
ment on the 10th was carried by vote of 81 to
81. The votes for senator were abortve as
usual, Miller reaching 70, with 70 necessary to
choice. The hope of the stalwarts is said to
be that should an adjournment now be carried,
the governor would convene the Legislature
later in the year, when Miller and Lapham will
not be available candidates on account of the
shortness of the time before converting con-
gress, in which event they think they can elect
Conkling. ,...-,
On the 18th inst. the deadlock was partially
broken by break in the stalwart forces, Speak
er Sharpe leading the deserters. Warner Mil
Ter, of Herkimer, was elected to the Platt va
cancy. The break also materially reduced |
Conkling's vote to succeed himself, but an ad- |
Journment was carried to the discontinue of |
the alf-breeds.
