ALBANY, N. T., May 26.-The stalwarts do not
show this morning much progress in securing
signatures for caucus. It Is said by those

scenic effect, but did not succeed. The story
is strictly true.

assurecly be held under regular call.
Poor Prospect for COnkling.
The 1elegrdntS Albany special says: The
prospect this morning Is not very hopeful for
the stalWarts. After working with light and
main all day yesterday and all last night theg
have been unable to secure he necessary fifty
four votes TO 60 into caucus. They say they
have forty mine, and that in the course OF to-
day they will secure the remainder, and then
call for caucus this evening will be Issued.
There Is good reason to believe that they Will
fail 10 secure the requisite i've votes.
