ALBANY, June 2O.-Mr. Conkling is leading his
followers n long way toward the Democratic party.
In alliance with the Democrats today they refused
to take moe than ballot for United states Sen
ator. 1t has been the policy Of the Demo-
cratic leaders to wear ont the patience
of the Republicans with fruitless voting, till
in some desparing mood they shall vote 10 adjourn
the Legislature without having elected the Sena-
tors. (ne cheuk t. this would be TO take several
ballots dalv in order 20 permit Of that shifting Of
