ALBANY, May 80. - The Democratic
members of the Legislature met in joint
session this evening. Erastus Brooks, an
Assemblyman, who was absent delivering
a Decoration Day address, sent q letter,
stating that the first duty is TO insist upon
an adjournment, without . choice of the
Senators In Congress. whose places haye
become vacant by the voluntary acts Of
thoss elected to represent the State. The
present Legislature Is appealed to to fill
these vacant places, and an appeal is made
by two gentlemen who after abandoning
their places now demand q new election to
fill the places which they surrendered.
When the Legislature of 1881 was elected
no such result was considered within the
range Of human possibilities, and it is there
fore but an act of justice to the people Of
the State that an opportunity be offered
them to choose members of the Legisla-
ture, who in the choice Of its Senators in
Congress will represent the voice Of the
whole people.
Senator Fowler said the circumstances
which call this caucus together are unpre-
cedented. Two gentlemen selected to rep.
resent the State in the United States SEN
ate have stepped down and out, and left
this State, with one.tenth Of the people of
this Nation, without any representation in
the Senate. No matter how important
may be the matters arising In the United
States Senate, this great State will have no
voice, because her Republican representa-
tives basely deserted their places. The
wealth of this country is opposed to our
party, as well as the great monopolies. In
this crisis of affairs no Democratic member
should be found acting with our political
enemiea. Fowler then nominated Senator
John G. Jacobs, for the short term, created
by the resignation Of Roscoe Conkling, and
Francis P. Herman for the long term. The
nominations were made unanimous.
ALBANY, May 30.-Senator Mills, who
has heretofore declined to pronounce, to-
day caused to be published the following
telegram.
Geo. Dawson, Evening Journal, Albany:
Please say that / am opposed to the cleo
ton Of Conkling and Platt to the United
States Senate. 1 believe this course will
best preserve the Republican party. While
/ haye labored to avoid q conflict. there has
never been any doubt with me or my
friends where ! must stand on the issue.
f SS,snxic Administration leaders 4; NJ NOW MILLS Claim
that Gorstein. Boardman, G. NJ Palmer
and Gates, Of the Assembly, who have been
classified with the stalwarts for Conkling
tomorrow will show him to be in the minor
ity. and he will then be abandoned en-
tirely. The stalwarts, however, assert that
Conkling will never be abandoned; that his
true friends will stand by him till the last
firmly, as the 306 did by Grant in the
Chicago Convention. Among the visitors
to ex-senator Conkling this afternoon was
Governor Cornell. The interview lasted
over an hour.
An Interesting Piece or History. |
NEW YoRx, May sl.-A Washington dis
patch TO the Times says there IL an inter-
esting piece Of history In relation to the
contest between Conkling and the Admin
istration. which should be made known.
On the day following that on which the
President sent Robertson's name to the
Senate. it was known beyond doubt that
Conkling and the other representatives Of
New York were greatly dissatisfied. On
that day two members OF the Cabinet
called upon the President and suggested
q conference should be held between
President on the one hand and the
Vice. President and the two New York SEN
on the other. The President &C.
cepted the suggestion, and set apart that
