DInru OF 4 STRONG DESIRE 70 HAVE ROB-
EI.rSON FOR COLLECTOR
Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. G., May 25.-Some OF the
newspapers friendly to Mr. Conkling conttn-
tie to criticise the Administration and Judge
Robertson, because that gentleman has not
resigned his place in the Senate and entered
upon his duties as Collector. The facts III
the case are that, before Judge Robertson
was confirmed, and before tile New York
Senators resigned; it was arranged that, in
the event of Judge Robertson's confirmation,
Gen. Merritt should continue to perform the
duties of Collector until the end Of the cur
rent fiscal year. This arrangement was by
no means III unusual one; and in considers
tion OF the fact that Gen. Merritt needs some
tant office in the country before 9o1ng abroad.
the course decided upon was highly proper
This determine 1on WAS reached when nobody
had any reason to suppose that any Issue would
arse Ut Albany which would affect in any way
the Importance of Judge Robertson. or any
other member Of the Legislatures: and, under
the circumstances, there Is no JUST ground Tor
unfayorable criticism.

NEW York, May 2S.-There has been

there WAS i s!eartf of politicians hanging
about the portals Of the ex-Senator:s room,

leader might also accompany his official
title, judging from the result of his latest

Election, rest, and retirement. Mr.. Conkling,
III fact, was not at home to early callers, but
towards noon he showed himself, and was soon
after busy with his friends. lie was asked if
there was to he another conference to-lnor-

Special Dispatch to TIE Chicago Tribune
Albany, \. ", May 2os.-Some official
statements of the present condition of the
Senatorial fight show that Conklilg is now
moro thoroughly whipped than was general
ly supposed. The Stalwart organ here, the
Express, whose antics and wobblin: during
the week have becn one of the iudicrous
features of the campaign, is forced to admit,
this morning, that 4 majority Of the Repnp-
licans in the Legislature will not give their
Endorsement to Mr. ConSlns by signing their
names to a call for eancus. It says: The
prospects now are, i'll consequence Of the
withdrawal Of enough mines to
reduce the signatures below the requisit
number, that tile Republicans will proceed to
Il vote without settling their party affairs by
themselves" Very few, however, believe
that the paper ever contained tifty-four sig
natures.
THE MOST PROBABLE STORY
is that two similar calls were in circulation,
and that sonle names got OH both documents,
making the total number more than major
ity. 1t is doubtful If tnore than about forty
members ever put their signatures to the
call. The call for a caucus Monday night
has proved complete failure SO far, but
fifteen or twenty NAMES having been secured.
Senator Mills ''harmony" pledge for a
conference of doubtful members Monday night
has also met with but little success. The Ad-
