New Yonw, May 8~The politicians in this clty have of courso been greatly fnterested in the action of the Presldent In regard to the New York nominations, -Many of those per- sonally concerned, like Stownrt L. Woodford and Marshial Payn and thelr friends, linve been absent in Washington, while.others have been In Albany looking after the Street Cleaning and other bills, but there have been enough of the active polllicians remaining to forni groups In the corridors of the Astor Itouse, Fifth Avenue Ilotel, and 1ike favorit resorts, 1nall of theso places the subjeet of conversntion has been the Presldent’s action, Its effcet upon tho Robertson nomination, and tho probable outcome of TUE ATTEMPT OF SENATOIl CONKLING TO DICTATE THE NOMINATIONS to Federal oflices In the State. As Ko poll- tlcians are most of them personally In- terested in the result, they were chary of expressing opinfons for publieation, It was particularly noticeable that the * machine men were unusunlly guarded In thelr stato- ments when the reporter was about, Opinions differed, according to the predilectlons of the Dersons expressing them, as to the wisdom of the President’s nction in withdrawing the nominations, But all agreed that it made hilm mnster of the situation, - A well-known friend of Mr. Conkling snid: T have groatly regretted that theve have arlsen nny differences between. Mr, Conkling and the President, as I think it will have o bud ef- feet on tho parly iu this Siate. There are Stato officers and a full Legisiature to ‘be elected In November, and, belng nn off year, the Republicans nre nlwnys apt to poll alizht yote. “The two partles nre 5o ayenly divided in this State that a light Ropublican vote MEANS A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY -, Wa cannot afford to lysae- the olection this year, and 4 quarrel In the Republican ranks il be pt to lead to that, result,” “But whom do you hold responsible for this state of affalrs 27 asked tho mrnrtur. *Well,” replicd Conkling's friend, I think {n this caso tha Senator has pursued ah unwise course. It ho could not have Induced the President to withdraw Mr, Robertson’s name he should have allowed the nominatlon to bo confirmed without open opposition, . as the Presi- dent showed a disposition to recognize Mr, Conkling fn making other appointments, There arg n great_many offices to bo filled in this State during the Presldent’s terni,, Presidont llayes made very fow chianges, renppointing "Mr. Conkling's friends in most Instances, Now, . Mr. Conk- ling makes war on the Admiuistration theso oftices will ba filled with persolls whom he eannot control, and lie will be unnble to make up for.the loss of that patronuge. 1lo has now four-fitths of the men in the Cus- tom-fiouse. Ile cnnnot expect to retaln them under such clrenstances. Ile made up for the lossof patronuge during Hayes' term DY COMDINATIONS WITH THE DEMOCIRATS; but !t Is linprobable that he ecan do that in futire. His own term expires with the Presldent’s. .
