Oh grined as he is over his own most misersbls
self respect and guided by plain sense Of public

reniai for the rep tatives people to decide

the Grant club, was presented to Conkling
and Arthur in Conkling's parlor by a repre-
sentative of the club which marched to the
hotel in a body. Conkling was holding
levee, doors having been opened to all COM
ers during the entire evening. A large crowd

General Geo. Fl. Sharpe, Speaker of the
Assembly and chairman of the Assembly Re-
publican caucus committee, sent a second
letter this evening to Dennis Mccarthy, chair
man of the Senate caucus committee, asking
him to unite in joint call for a caucus to be
held on Thursday evening. Sharpe is stall
wart, while Mccarthy claims to be of the op-
position. 1t is the policy of the stalwarts to
force a caucus in order to compel the half
breeds to show their hand. It is believed
the latter will resort to every expedient to
postpone or prevent entirely any caucus
Senator Me- arthy replied and says that he Just
heard of the arrival of Senator Forster and
will hold a meeting of the caucus commi t.
tee at the earliest possible moment and will
advise him to morrow morning.
MIDNIGHT. Senator Platt arrived at
1870 o'clock this evening. The feeling at
this hour is strongly against Conkling and
Platt. Bets of one hundred to ten against
their reelection offered in the corridors
of the hotels, but without takers. Governor
Cornell, Silas B. butcher, Senators Conking
and P1att, Harbor Masters Cole and Drew
and others were closeted for q long time to-
night, but the result of the conference could
not be learned. The interest now centers on
the result of the caucus tomorrow.
