declared in the senate to day that Il
Conkling and Platt had given their besI
reasons for resigning they had made thu
most stupendous blunder of modeIr
times. 1t evinces neither wit, wisdom
sense nor cunning, and has no extenua'
tion. Woodin made an eloquent plea
against the return Of the senators,
which would justify them for iudtct'
ments of the president. He presented
many remonstrances from the people.
Senator Strahan presented counter
petitions from prominent men who had
staked money during the campaign for
the president. He predicted the disin-
tegration of the republican organization
il we don't maintain its integrity. He
favored Conkling's return as wise from
a party standpoint. If defeated here it
would not be the last of Conkling.
Halbert spoke on the same side.
Mccarthy said he feared to send
Conkling back to wage such war as he
had waged on Hayes, with sarcasm and
ridicule. He wished him success in
private life.
ll Conkling, Arthur and their asssoci-
ates continued their levees at the
Delevan house to-day. Not a few
members of the legislature who had not
EXPIRE ssed their opinions received notes
reading rs follows: ~ ~
"My Dear Sir--I would like few
minutes conversation with you as soon
as may be, at time and place of your
convenience. Win you let me hear
from you. Cordially yours, r.
(Signed) Roscoe CoNKLINo."
; The division remains as before, and
with no prospect of change. A dead
lock is certain. @n4ss sfa4 i.
1t is rumored that Conkling will
make an address Monday evening. ~
1t is denied that Tilden has enlisted
on the side Of ,Conkling.
Some forty-seven members agreed to
meet iConkling in friendly conference
but not one-half appearing
the conference was not held. 1t is said
that the absentees were influenced by
the administration men to remain
away. It has been decided tonight not
to go into caucus. but to attend joint
meeting of both houses on Wednesday,
and to vote for the two candidates to
be agreed upon hereafter. Names I;
Choate, Depew and Comptroller Wads-
worth were talked OF. .st s'-
Conkling's retirement alone will pre-
vent o dead lock. He may keep it up
by firing out the other side and show
that his supporters are firm for him,
but with him out of the way two men
would tie elected who would never
throw the control of the senate into
the democratic party. - @'ia y
A caucus of the democrats has been
Monday evening. The gem
eral opinion among them is that new
names will be presented, and Seymour,
Robinson and Tilden are out of the
question.
Many of those who signed the call
for caucus tonight wont consider
themselves bound to the call for Mon
day night, and a formal caucus is very
A deadlock is expected Tuesday.
Conkllng's only hope is the arrival of
Grant and his influence in his favor.
The opposition say that even Grant
would be Intellectual. 80
The stalwarts are more confident than
they were yesterday. Many of them
have gone home and the half,breeds'
boasts have subsidized W eF gl 3
Judge Robertson is well satisfied, and
says that the administration people
have made no mistakes yet. The fact
is, Conkling and Platt are beaten. If
they adjourn the legislature we will be
glad to fight them among the people.
Conkling will return Monday and make
aspublic speech. ~ = ., S iss.i'o y. ~. ~
Albany: Conkling and Platt have
re engaged their rooms at the Della
ware. Marshal Payne says that they
are all coming back to elect Conkling.
He intimates that his county was mis-
represented by the petition against re-
election. Other Conklingites convey
the idea that there is to be long
al era. II In likely that the anti,s will
