Conkling's Firm Obstiuacy - Rob
etls0n,s Chances OF Winning.

WASHINGTON. May There 10 no In.
dication that Conkling has yielded In
any degree his determination TO exhaust
every possible resource to prevent Rob-
ertson from becoming Collector OF New
York. For weeks hs has been laboring
with great assiduity among Democratic
Senators to enlist their support. Among
other circumstances that have attracted
attention has been the part played by
Woe President Arthur. It has been
noticed during the last two or three
weeks that be has quite frequently
vacated the chair, and has usually.
though not invariably. invited q Demo-
cratic Senator to preside. Either Harris.
Cockrell or VOORHEES, has been called
upon on such occasions and curiously
enough these three Democratic Sspators
are among those claimed as recent re-
cruits to tbs anti Robertson ranks.
There are indications, however. that the
opposition to Robertson 10 weaker than
10 was q week ago and there 10 every
probability that he will DO promptly con-
hrmed whenever bis oas comes to .
vote. and not by a majority composed
Of Democratic votes either.
The Democrats who will vote for him
are eight. This estimate 10 made BY
Senators who have oanvsssed the Dem
ocrats. His opponents give him only
seven Republican votes. but some accord
him twelve. The general opinion ex-
pressed by those who have paid close
attention to the question 10 that Robert
son will get at least two-thirds OF the
votes, aud all indications sustain this.
President Garfield has said to Demo.
cratic Senators that he could only expect
fair treatment from them, and he asked
no more. The Administration has not
made ovsrturss or appeals to Democrats.
