COMMITTEE.
Excellent authority denies tbs report that
Ex-senator Conkling has written aletter re-
firing from the Senatorial canvass 1t is added
that he will never retire.
A response has been sent to the committee OF
stalwarts asking that joint caucus committee
call caucus. After reciting conditions under
winch the caucus which nominated Miller and
Laphaln was called, it procseds as follows:
In Pursuance to that call caucus was held,
attended by sixty-eight Republican members
OF the Senate and Assembly, it being nearly
two thirds OF the entire Republican representa-
tiou. At that caucus candidates to fiji vacaa-
cies created by the resignation of Messrs Conk-
ling and Platt were duly nominated.
There has been no complaint made that the
proceedings were in any respect unfair. The
caucus was open 10 every Republican member
OF the legislature, and on Call of the roll the
name Of each and every Republican member
was called
The nominees seyerally received the unani-
NOUS approval of the caucus. In view Of
these facts the majority of the State committee
decline to reopen the question of candidates
on the ground that the committee has no pow
or IN the premises. The power to call joint
caucus Tor nomination of candidates for
United States Senators has been exercised by
the superior authority and is exhausted. If
Inc committee were to assume authority to
call another caucus it would be an act of
usurpasion and lead to complications much
more embarrassing than any WHICH have him
dered our efforts to discharge an obvious pub
Ac duty. The objections you are pleased to
urge against the Candidacy of Messrs. Miller
and Lapham because they chance to be repre-
sent ,tives in Congress were duly considered
in joint assembly, and later in the public press
and not deemed OF sufficient importance to
justify the hazardous experiment of retiring
candidates who have been fairly nominated
and concerning whose fitness no doubt has
been suggested.

high ten-days' fever and the drain Of danger
Gus wound? No, he is not growing stronger.
When the fever leaves him, when the wound
is healed, and he is eating twelyes ounces of

again, but he is getting every day nearer to
the time he will be growing stronger, and that
is quite enough forsus 10 be thankful for, is it
not?"
"Do you consider the President better than
yesterday morning.
YES, undoubtedly; the pulse and tempera-

ct the Increase OF temperature which took
place on Saturday and continued laeasurably
during Sunday, but this morning it is down
