ALBANY. March 2a-There was no niob,
session of Democrats tonight in the
effort 10 nominate and elect a Democratic
United States Senator. There was TO
have been caucus ballot at $50 o'clock
shortly before 10 o'clock Senator Wagner
called the joint Democratic caucus to
order and there was an immediate ad-
Journment to 1890 o'clock tomorrow
morning. There isn't a Republican here
nor Democrat nor an insurgent who
believes that Senator is to be nominated
and elected for some time to come. The
situation is probably the most extraordi-
nary that even the most veteran politician
has seen in this State.
The joint ballots this week have been
little short Of absurdities. They have
been called circuses. They have been
called 10y every name that meant con-
iumey. There is hearty disgust ex-
pressed on all sides. There has not been
tho slightest understanding OF why that
new joint caucus was called on Monday
evening. or course there was a general
understanding that the insurgents were
10 enter that caucus. They did not do so.
There is not the slightest intention on
their part. if the best information OBJ
talnable is to be accepted to ever enter
the joint caucus Of Democratic regulars.
Senator Roosevelt has been left in entir,
charge of the insurgent movement. He
was in consultation with the Republican
leaders tonight There are two different.
widely different. statements made to-
night concerning names Of Democrats
submitted to Charles F. Murphy and to
the insurgents. or by Charles F. Murphy
and by the insurgents The insurgents
declare that they have submitted no list
Of candidates to Mr.. Murphy since Mon
day night, when they submitted the
names of lsidor Straus. Martin H. Glynn
and Herman Ridder which, the insurgents
say. Mr.. Murphy refused to accept. The
Democratic regulars. on the other hand,
say that the insurgents are constantly
submitting list Of names to Mr.. Murphy
for his consideration, and that only last
night they submitted again the names OF
Mr.. Straus and Mr.. Glynn and added the
name OF John d. Herman. The Demo-
cratic leaders tonight declare that only
to-day the insurgents submitted the fol-
lowing list Of names to Mr.. Murphy: Mr..
Straus. Mr.. Ridder. Mr.. Glynn. ex Supreme
Court Justice Herrick. Mr.. Herman, Su-
prenie Court Justices Dowling. Gerard
and O'Gorman. and ex-Supreme Court
Justices Moygan j. O'Brien and Augustus
Van Wyck. and Martin W. Littleton.
When the statement that the foregoing
Democrats had been submitted TO Mr..
Murphy was brought to the attention OF
the insurgents and their allies. the Re-
publioans. the positive statement and
reply was made that no list OF Democrats
had been submitted TO Mr. Murphy since
Monday night that the insurgents had
entirely nnisheo with any negotiations
with MIR. Murphy ana fhat they and their
Repuohcan aihes VIII AT the proper time
get together and name Democrat who
viii De elected by the JOINT votes OF the
republicans ana the insurgents. This in
formation coming from the highest
sources does not oe'ract from the state
ments contained iurther on IN this de-
spatch.
lhe Republicans and their insurgent
friehds reiterated their declarations to-
night that nasmuch as the Democratic
majority by reconvening that caucus on
Monday night han violated the principle
o' majority rule the Republicans and the
Insurgents could fairiy IN the interests OF
me voters OF the state enter into coali-
lion by which the state could have its
cohstitutionai representative IN the Senate
IN the extaordinary session OF Congress

iuesday.
AZ the present time almost score
OF hepuoiicans DO not view with com
flacency the proposed coalition with the
Insurgents missionary work 10 now
gong on among these Republicans, 1t

~hich the republican legislators will
be brought TO a complete understanding
ot the value OF THIS proposed coalition.
