TIE FEELING N THE CITY.

Much surprise was manifested yesterday IN
pncal CIRCLE th- city at The suulncss Of tr vote
cast for senator Couknne. Although the rc-Ht Wis
fnrcshadov - by tho number oi numbers hu rnnscni u
10 io the Conkling Monday night. there w'r"
vet many who believed that tie Senator'S power could
not have utterly passed away from HIM, aud that
when the vote taken aud the preference Of each
member was made known. there would be- AZ les.
Of thos who had refused To- ." into caucus who woud
lg fouud voting the side ~ Mr. Cnnkling The EFFECT
OF tho VOTE was apparent both Republican aud D'I-
cratic politicians In the Of the former gave The
Administration men new bopc.
Predictions freely made tiai the ~
Senators Couklnr and Plat would be- cho~n before The
end Of the present week The salwart. were for the
moment pnrnlyzcd, and later could only hope aud
t,rcss the belief hst the contest would rcsull dead
lock aud that the next Legislature would choosc the
Senators. Around the city Hall the situation
was discussed with much interest. The
Sfalwart Republican Aldermen said that
they were much -appnincd n Mr. Cuuklinc'- strength.
and that They hoped FOR acccHsouE TIE hautng went
on II was noiicralr however. that hO-t who were
eager To wager Mr. COnkling one week ago wCrt nb
yesterday. 49,.
where In the aftrrnoon In very INSTANCES there
any sympaihy for Mr. Cnnkng. II was The almost uni
vrrSn expression that his opposition To the President
and his resignation. thus throwing the control Of The
senate the hands ~ his political opponents, nerited
the seNcfest condemnation.

remember il. II Mr.. Conbling Is beaten the Repub-
lican party viii have won it's last victory in the
State OF Nation. He has won every Republican vic
tory in this State for the past fifteen years. He
made the last two Presidents singlehanded and
alorn
"You surely don't mean that he carried the cam
paign for Hayes by making only one speech n
Il mean the seating of Hayes at Washington.
Hayes would never have been seated If it had
not been for Mr.. Conklng, and when General
Garfield came on to that conference in New-York
last summer the State Of New-York was 10000 or
10000 Democratic, and everybody knew it. .
Commissioner Jacob Hess is another cheerful
Stalwart He said calmly in answer
TO correspondents question: :" con-
slider Mr. Conkling's chances the best of
any candidate One thug is anyhow; the
Stalwarts can elect two Seuatorsand the half-breeds
can't. The voting to-day shows that"
This is the confident tone of the Conkling men ;
but the length Of their faces bellies the
length of their predictions. A prominent politician
who lives and moves aud has his being in the
machine, talked in q frank and moro instructive
vein tonight. He said: "Mr Conkling ought to
name his men. We can't 60 waiting here He
ought to decide tonight. II he doesn't decide
pretty quick his men will leave him and he
will find himself high and dry. think he will make
up his mind pretty promptly. You see the fact Is
that Cornell and Folgcr and Sharpe and Crowley
and all these men are reaching under Conklng for
the Senatorships and be is beginning TO find 1t ont"
Another Stawart devoted 10 the machine was
asked what was the meaning " all these Conkng
candidates for the SENATE against Conkling. Ia Is
simply this" said he. that with plenty
Of machine leaders there is no leader.
The men who don't dare to vote against
their constituencies for Conkling don't know
whom to vote for They're voting for Tom
Dick and Harry without knowing why They're
bushwhacking'
Another Stalwart, when asked for his explanation
of the same fact said Well. IFS o big thing TO
he United STATES Senator. II doesn't follow thai
because Mr. Conkling il going tO give IT all up
there is nothing left for anybody else
1t light"ns the gloom Of The funeral 70 know that
you are remembered In the will. The gentlemen
know that the effects are going to be divided

Mallory, Of Rensselaer,, Lynde Of Chenango and
Burroughs. Of Broome were supporters OF MI
Adams, but opponents Of Governor Clinton. John
Cramer Of Saratoga, and Jesse Clark, OF Seneca,
supporters of Clay were also opponents Of Governor
Clinton.
Early in.the canvass the only candidate for Sena-
tor spoken OF was Chief-Justice Spencer But when
Governor Clinton came out for Jackson apprehen-
sions existed that being the brotherinlaw and POI
htcal friend Of Governor Clinton, Judge Spencer
might alAo be opposed to Mr. Adamss administra-
ton This fear became prevalent that
few days before the election for Senator
committee Of three members of the Assembly were
appointed to wait upon Judge Spencer and ascer-
tain whether if elected, he would sustain the Adams
Administration. That committee failed to obtain
the desired information. Judge Spencer, with
considerable asperity, declined to be interrO-
gated. Two other friends subsequently called,
with the same object in view but were
also repulsod. Uuder these circumstances the
friends of the Administration declined to
60 into caucus with the friends Of Governor Clinton
and Judge Spencer.
The first days ballotting closed, leaving the Leg
slature Of 1925 pretty much in the same condition
that the Legislature of 1881 finds itself to-day.
In the Assembly there large majority for Judge
Spencer. majority Of Senators scattered their
votes among dozen or more candidates, thus avoid
ing JOINT ballot Of tho two houses, and preventing
an election of Senator. This deadlock continued
throughout the session. The Adams men subse-
quently attempted an election by resolution The
name of the Hon. Albert II. Tracy, then member of
Congress and warm supporter Of Mr.. Adams, was
sent IN resolution by the Senate To the Assembly,
in which, however, that House did not concur.
After several unayaling efforts the Legislature
adjourned without clecting United States Senator.
The question therefore. was RENTED to the people,
by whom an overwhelming verdict OF dis
approval was rendered, There was larle
Democratic majority in the Legislature of
1926. when Nathan Sanford was reelected to the
Senate. The fact that it required twelve years OF
hard. earnest. political work to recover the ground
thus lost i, a lesson which should be read proiitably
10y the Republican members Of the present Legisla-
tIlrc.
The question now occurs shall "history repeat
Itself" disastrously against the Republican
party VIII Republican members Of the present
Legislature deliberately persist in a course which
wi. inevitably deprive the Administration Of its
majority N the United States senate, or will they
rso above p, rsona influences and elect trustworthy
Rrpuhh'An SENATORS in place of thoNr who without
justification or excuse abandoned their seats
