SEAT or GOVERNMENT CHANGED.

1t seems TO be generally understood that the
conference of Republican members OF the Legis-
lature with Senator Thomas {. Platt, sundry
members of Congress. Mr.. Edward Lauerbach
and other local Republican leaders at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel on Sunday was not distinguished
success in so far as its purpose was 10 lay down
authortatively the lines Of legislation upon GER
tain subjects at Albany. 1t was thny attended,
for one thing. This. in view of the fact that it
had been widely advertised beforehand. excited
unfavorable comment. When il was known
that only an insignificant two or three members
of the Legislature were in attendance upon u
conference AT which IL had been published that
the real leaders of the party were to decide def
nltely and finally upon the course of legislation,
the suspicion which had begun TO be rife OF
differences Of opinion between the State govern
ment and those who supposed they owned the
State government took stronger hold When
al the end of the conference. such as 1t was,
there was nothing 10 show for il except re-
mctant admission on the part OF the conferrces
that there no change in the situation and
there would be no more conferences of the kind
for fortnight. political observers remarked that
a change had taken place in the constituted or
der Of things and il was quite likely that here
after the seat of the State government would be
az Albany instead Of at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
