felt in favor Of Governor Cornell. This is the nat
ural desire Of the younger generation of Conkling
men for future. To young men serving their first
or second year in the Legislature the profession OF
suicide offers few attractions. They begin TO have
desire to attach themselves to some man who
will not take them down into the grave.
To these men Governor Cornell, In the
present situation Of affairs, seems the strongest man
to tie to, and there symptoms that young men OF
this class getting little anxious for the time to
arrive when Mr.. Conkling will release them. In
deed. if the ex-senator could hear all the remarks
tnat are made by his supporters upon the mag
nanmity of his present course. he might be dis
agreeaby surprised. One of these, who speaks in
the language OF the primaries took his nat on 10
day when he met friend, mopped his head IN IN
hopeless manner sighed deep sigh and SAID
" What a cursed outrage it is Cor these two men to
keep us here before this battery OF rlhed cannon,
while our inwarls' are blown from one end to the
None of the men who share this feeling seem 70
have any hopes of Mr. Conkng's speedy with,
drawal. 1t was known that n conference was held
last night in ex-senator Conkling's room, at which
General Arthur John F. Smyth, ex-Marshal Payn
and the usual company were present III was de-
candidates should stick" 1t is qpes-
tion, of course, whether the members
will stick as long as the candidates, or whether
many of those who see safe ground between the two
factions in the support of Governor Cornell can be
held very long. The Governor is said 70 have re-
peateQ tnlS afternoon MS assurances IIat ne WAN
not candidate and that his friends could not show
their friendship for him by voting for him. But in
spite of all this his possible candidacy remains the
most important fact in the present situation ana
many predicting that he will be the first Senator
elected.
The practical abolition Of the caucus which has
taken place raises difficulty for candidates. In
a caucus 81 votes would nominate, and thus secure
an election. In ballot without a caucus 81 votes
must be had TO elect candidate and il is easy to
understand that this will be uphill work for almost
any man. unless there is genuine stampede.
leader of the Administration men said yesterday
that he thought that when any candidate received
60 votes that would settle the matter and the rest
would follow Immediately.
