lIng's Call on President Arthur.
WAsHIXGToS, October9.-A week ago tn
meeting OF the Senate was looked tOrwar'
to us one to be marked contrast with tn
extra session called by President Garfield
The prediction was that both parties wer'
anxious to avoid the exhibition Of u erin
son hand; that the conservative member
would so guide the councils that the or
ganization Of the body and the division o
the committees would be by unanimoui
consent The death OF President, ant
by assassination, the profound grief OF thu
people without respect to party or to sec
ton, and the fact that the Senate wa
called together to supply link in thu
Presidential succession, were thought Il
be sufficient reasons to compel an excep
tional willingness to sink party consider
ations, at least until the Senate was organ
lied,
The conference at Cleveland pointed tc
such q result, and the talk Of the Senator
on both sides previous to the caucuses Oi
yesterday enforced the same views The
air fthe committee rooms appears to have
put all such ideas to flight and the pos
poets Of u deadlock have ceased to be u
terror 10 the Senators Of either party They
are further from IN agreement than ever,
and the division OF little patronage la,
dissipated the last vestige Of sentiment,
Every step in the organization Is to be con-
tested. Edmunds and Frye will open for
the Republicans, and II Is not likely that
they will bO left without u reply from the
Democratic side, There will be little II
any obstruction, except in the form OF de-
bate, but II will be seen that the misior-
tunes OF the summer have failed to weaken
party zeal, in he,leaders, however much they
have operated on the people.
The Democratic candidates for Secretary
OF the Senate are very urgent that their
party shall elect Secretary before the nd
mission OF new Senator'S. Otherwise that
course would have few advocates in the
Democratic caucus. The candidates realize
Il the election Is postponed until the new
Senators are admitted there is little chance
for the election OF Democrats. As David
Davis vote is conceded 10 the Republicans
In the organization, Davis will not vote for
Gorham, but after the resolution for the
election Of the Democratic caucus nomi-
nee has been voted down and that OF Cor
ham similarly defeated, a Republican
caucus will be held to select another name
for him. Davis will vote and he will be
elected. Boruck, the man brought from
the PaCifc coast by Senator Miller as its
representative, In place Of GOrham, Is not
likely to be the man,
All, INDEED!
A newagatherer called upon Mr.. Conk.
ling last night, utter his visit to the Pre4i.
dent, with the intention OF interviewing
him upon the subject. Before the reporter
could open his mouth Mr.. COnkling took
him by the hand and sLid: ~ suppose you
want to ask me how come TO he In Wash.
ingtOn. came to zee the President. He
and have long been fiiends. / have not
seen him since he bCCulne President until
to day. We had u conversation on various
subjects. ! do not know when shall see
him again. ! had thought could call on
him with us much safety as any other Of
his friends, but II seems that the gentle
med Of the press are exercised over II
insure you that you have no reason to lie,
and wish you u very good evening"
CAUCUS GOSSIP.
