peeIs for the PutuFe.

ALBANY, June 7.-LteutenAnt.G Governor
Haskins presided In the Senate joint CON
ventiou which met OF noon. The rules
for the government, offered by Woodin
yesterday, came up and after debate the
first and second rules were adopted and
the third laid on the table.
Speaker Sharpe (stalwArt) said he had a
right to expect that Woodin would inform
the Convention OF the reasons for offering
the rules, but he had not. The fact was,
the Convention wac governed by statute
and parliamentary law, and duly defined
act oi Congress. He could only speak for
his own aide, but the StAlwArts intended
to remain until Senators were elected,
Any motion 10 adjourn was by law from
day to day, and the rules were superlegal,
Sharpe referred at great length 10 the
effect Of the rules, which he said was
merely the Te.ensctment Of law oil Con.
gress, and moved the adoption Of the two
first rules, but opposed the third, that
neither OF the rules should be suspended
or Tescinded except by tWo'thirds vote,
He criticised sharply the action Of Ellis q,
Roberts, OF Utica, and the editor Of the Al
bAny Erening Jovrnal, Tor "snSpping OF the
heels oi the party's greatest leader"
Woodin, In reply, said he had no pur.
pose In offering the resolutions except 10
define TO the public the meaning Of the
word "adjourn" when used In motions Of
the joint convention. He agreed with
Sharpe In the Interpretation ot the law,
aud was determined that there should be
no question as 10 the titles Of the Senators
to be elected. But the trouble was that he
could not tell what the court OF final re.
sort TO which the dispute must be relega.
ted, namely, the United States Senate
would do, as II had been made Democratic
by q great calamity.
Woodln said he hoped the third rule
also Wo1ld be adopted as the two others
would be useless withoutit
EraStus Brooks (DemocrRt) denounced
the insInuations sRainst the Democratic
Senate and denounced Conkling, saying
bis resignation was an insult To the peo.
pie Of the State. He hoped the Democrats
would not heed the stalwArts' appeal.
Conkling had resigned to gratifV Whim,
aud should be rebuked. The Democrats
should vote solid for adjournment, In
order that the people themselves could
settle the question at the fall elections.
Raines, replying TO Brooks, said the
Democrats would never have q chance to
initiate the act Of Conkllng. The only
time the Democrats ever resigned was
when they resigned by Wholesale and
plunged the country into war.
Fowler (Dem.) spoke 10 the same effect,
Hdding that the Democrats OF the United
States Senate would seat any Senators who
went there In the right way.
Woodin retorted, III the Democrats con.
sidered them right"
Spinola denied the alleged relationship
between the Stalwarts and Democrats,
and Said that the only thing in which they
were alike WAS that they drank whisky
straight. He further supported the idea
that the Democrats should force adjourn.
