my TELEGRAPH To TIE TRIBuNr.l
,rn.xv June l7.-Ex-Scnators ConklinG and
pIa,, departcL to-day for Ncw-York, and cN-Nlce-
n..a;den, Wheeler arrived from the north. Mr
wheeler took up quarters at the DclaNan House,
"a wos visited by large number Of the members
.nd others The tone of Mr.. Wheclcrs talk was
-.;nontIv couciliatory The substance of his talks
oh rho many persons who called upon him was
shat II was evident there could he no election here
.xeept by a compromise, and c0mPro-
,;sa vould have TO iuclude the friends
of Mr. Conklng well as those OF the
Administration. He did not believe 1t would
he a wise policy for the friends of the Admnl~tra-
hon 70 select Stalwart and run mp his N'ie i"r
,be short term: it would bc much better
10 run up Administration nlcn for h"th
terms and then ifthe point shall he reached where
compromise could be ELECTED one of thcS" ncn could
he selected as the Administrations representative
Mr. Wheeler said lie would be frank Ia say. II II
zane to that he would insist that Mr.. Dcpcw was
entitled TO the place he had made the night mere
for the Administration and was entitled 10 TIE hr't
consideration. Mir. Wheeler said hc knew his friends
would hardly approve of his reSignng his CLAIMS III
this manner. but he fl' that lie could not
IN fairness do otherwise. considering wLat Mt
Depew hld done Mr.. Wheeler Is evidently dis
posed TO take a very friendly attitude toNaId Mr..
Depews supporters.
Wheeler Senator said to-night that MI. Wheeler
wrote a letter to Albany some time since. IN which
be urgcd his friends To vote for Mr.. DcPN, ana
that il WAS this letter which brNl-d them
into line Mr.. Wheeler said today lie
should remain here some time, ana Htt'h' 'h'
conferences of the Administration members II h'
was invited to do So. One result of the establish
nent of such friendly relations with the Dcpcw men
will undoubtedly be an ell rt To run vi
Mr., Wheeler's vote for the short term a.
high as possible. The tone of his tax ha'
evidently created a warm feeling for HIM personally
among some of the DcpCw m'inbcrs. one oil 'h'I'
said tonight: "Ihcy say this man Ii cold-hloodcd
why. | felt like hugging him wher heard hin talk
this way." One OF Mr. Whcelcis remarks was
"Mr Dcpew has made an excellent attorney for I'll"
Central Road that goes 10 show that lie would
make an excellent United States senator
II is All interesting fact. only known IA few'
that the Conkling members secretly appointed a
somu,ittce similar To the committee app0intcd by
the Administration men. The membership of the
sommittcc IL secret and great care has been taken
10 keep from the public the mct that
II has been appointed. IL is stated
TINT the committee has iutimntcd willingn -
70 confer with the Executive Committee of th" ADJ
ninistration men, but far there has been no ac-
tusl movement toward a conference.
There il n story about tOwn that the District At
korney Of Albany County is to take mp the invs sti-
sation of the bribery case and that number 0i
witnesses including A. u. barber. have been sub
pnnaed for Monday. 1t is also reported that l.. ID.
Phelps, the lobbyist and one of BARRIERS assistants
has left town. Both stories come from C"nkling
sources 1t is said that Conkling and Patt will re-
turn herd sunday night. General Arthur rcihaiHs
here for the present. ,
There will be less pairing tomorrow aIpar''i y
than usual on Saturday. but still enough to nahc
the ballot mconclusiVe. The Administration 'a';.rs
have some difficulty in controlling their men. Mr.
Butler of Warren, actually went home Yesterday
without taking the trouble TO arrange "A par
