policy is first to elect Cornell to take the
place of Platt, by the aid of enough Of

them the required 81 votes. Before this is
done the half-breeds are to require the as
sent of their allies that the half-breeds
shall have the absolute right to name
Conkling's successor, then they will name
Reuben e. Fenton, and the allies will be
compelled to assent.
Conkling left Albany tonight, called
away by legal business. He will return to
Albany as soon as his business is COM
pleted. There is trouble among the half
breeds; they cannot agree on any one can
