No Chance for Rs-ElsctioI


 ALBANY, May l9th.-1hers has bsen marked change In the situation ot the Senatorial matter to-day. IL Is evident that members of the Legisla- lure have advice from their constiIu- ents. Those who yesterday were un- prepared To express themselves have talked freely to-day, and many have anti Conkling papers in circulation. IL is claimed tonight that signatures enough are attached to make it utterly impossible to re-elect COnkling and Platt. The anti Conkling section are exceedingly iubilant.
 ConkIing Not e Candidate
 CHICAGO. May 19.-A Washington special says: Conkling has just one more surprise Ia store for the great American public. A gentleman who had a long talk with him says that Conkling's resignation is ID good faith, and he does not in. Iend to permit his name to go before the Albany Legislature for re- election. He says also that the orig iual suggestion of resignation came from Platt and not from Conkling. Plat Is disgusted and will not again be candidate.
 Grants Opinion.
 NEW YORK, May l9--The Hsrald's Washington special says: The follow ing, from ex- President Grant, 10 Sem Htor Jones, of Nevada, shows in the present contest between ConklIng aud | the President, that Conkling has 'he full sympaty and support Of the ex- President. The letter 10 Senator | Jones contained one from the ex- President 10 Garfield, which was de- livered 10 him personally by Jones. IIs contents are not known, bu. there can be no doubt that it's purpoIt Is similar to that of the letter to Jones. | The letter is as follows: Conkliug and PlatI are chosen Senators from the great State of New York, and that, too, against all the opposition of an administration created by the same ! party that elected them. This should give them all the stronger claim To be consulted in The matter of appoint menls iu their State. But when Il comes 10 filling the most influential | office in the Staie without consulta- liOn, and without their sactiOn, l. is great slight when he selects the mos' offensive man to be found, and II be- comes an insult and ought 10 be re- sisted to the bitter end.
 Grants Letter to Jones.
 To the Honorable J. P. Jones' l C.-I see by the latest telegrapnlc dis | patches received hero from the cap- | iIal of UT country that the deadlock 1 in the organization of the Senate |, not vet broken and that nothing ha; been done by ILe President 10 sllay the bitterness which must be enHen uered by his most r6 cent appointment sincerely hope the President will see and correct his mistake himself and Ie.tore hsrmuny to the party H- ou es this to himself and to those without whom he could not have beer elected. Nobody believes be could have carried the State Of New York without active support Without the S,ats of New York, General Garfield would not now be President. Hi' rswarding Robertson Is not only ot- fensiys to the New York Senators but it is offensive to New York Re- publicsns. The change Of BadsAr aud Crsmer. the two appointments it in which l telt s strong personal h. Ierest, was very distsstsful to ne The first, because of our personal re' lations and my wish that he should b' kept where his office would suppor hlm until he finishes some work h' is engaged upon and which he couic do without interfering with his pub lie duties. The second, because | was a, the expense of removing th' son of my old Secretary of State, wh' probably never had his superior certainly never for moral worth-tI the Department. It Is true that Fisl resigned, but he did this from a sens' of honor, supposing IL 10 be the dutI of Representatives abroad 10 give ih' new administration an opportunity o saying whether they were wanted O. uUt. Very truly yours.
