Ame AT ALBANY. THEY FAIL TO Bow Ur. Spectat Dispatch to The Phicago Tribune. Atnany, N. ¥., May 29—It was expected that Conkling, Platt, and: Arthur would re- turn from New York this evening, but they failed to appenr, although thore were several distinguished gatherings, composed of thirty reporters, a dozen boys, and two darkies, at the depot toe welcome jthem. The only prominent arrivals on thb train were Assem- blyman Carpenter, “Ed? Phelps the lobby- ist. and the Vokes tamily. ‘The machine- heelers say the trio will ‘be here to-morrow surely, but a reporter who came up from New York expressed the opinion that they would not return at all, Ifo sald it was dificult to find a Conkling man in the metropolis, When Senator Sessions, one of the Administration hen of Safety, as ‘) it. has been named, heard this he gave it an his opInion that within tivo days it would be IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE EVEN WITH A SEANCH WAIMANT. Senator Lord,-another Administration man, suid: “Lhe Conkling movement is rapidly dwindling down to a pint” Superintend- ent Dutcher, who was standing by, indig- nantly remarked that the bottom had not fallen out of the Conkling campaign, and would not before the snow files. Iie says Conkling will be hore “y-morrow evening. All kinds of rumors conré‘trom -New York. Tho principal ones are that Conkling has been visited by prominent Democrats, and is trying to effect a combination, and that he looks with great suspleion on Gov. Cor- nell’'y movements, and fears he ts playing double, Assemblyman Murphy, a Demo- erat, who returned from New York to-lay, snys: “This tatk about a combination be- tween Conkling and Domocrata is all non- sense. The Democratic votes could not bo delivered, Every Democratic member of the Legislature will attend the caucus Monday evoning and bind Iilmsclf to vote for the two Democrats who are nominated then. We are IN FAVOR OF ADJOUNNING, and will vote for itany tlme.” If Mr. Conk- ling relies on Democratic assistance to carry his point, there are three possible ways in which the Democrats might ald him: first, in yoting for him; second, jn voting to ad- Journ aine dio; and, third, by staying away from the Legislature on Tuesday noxt. The complexton of the Senate, however, innkes las} this methon Impossible, for the Revised Statutes In the sections concerning tho election of Senators say that on the Tues- -day appointed a ballot shall bo taken tn.each House, each inember naming one, person, and the name of the ‘person’ 80 voted for who shail have “a” majority of the whole number of yotes cast In each House shall be entered on the journal of each House, At the jolnt convention on the, following day the journals of the two Houses aroread. If It appears that the same person y | shall have received a majority of all the votes enst in cach House, KE BUALL DE DECLARED ELECTED, If the same person doea not have a majority In both, tne two Iouses proceed to a joint ballot. Now, If Mr. Conkling controlled a majority of the Republicans in each louse he could secure’ revlection if the Democrats — absented themselves In a body. Possibly he might secure a majority in the Assembly, but in the Senate he would have no hope, as at least fifteen of the twenty-five Republican Sen- ators ure strongly opposed to him. ‘Thu other two plans are possible, There are fifty-four Democrats in the Legislature, and elghty-one votes constitute a majority of all. If acombination were mado with to Demoerntic leaders, and they had the power to deliver all the Democratle yotes to Mr. Conkling, he would noed but twenty-seven Republi 3 but thers are BEVERAL DEMOCRATS OF WIGH CHARACTER |. who, it 1s believed, would not sanction such abargain, and it ‘is doubtful ff all the Re- publienans who now favor hls redlection would vote for him tt he joined hands with his po- Titical cnemigs, Perhaps the number on each alde who cold not bo held to’ such a deal would not execed half adozen, ‘The Admin- {stration side concedes forty Republicans to Conkling, which would give him ninety-four, with all) the Deniocrats, Allowhis for twelve probable bolters from the dicker, he would have cighty-two lett, or a more than ts Heceasllyy for major ity of the whole Deglataturo, ‘That gome plan by which Conkling and a Demos ernt would be chosen Senators might suc- ceed 1s evident; but would the late senior Senator, who has always announced himself as the Stalwart of the Stalwarts, aul prided Miuaclt on his devotion to Republican prite elpies, DESCEND TO AUCH TREACHERY? It he seeks redlection in this way, he no! only betrays the party which has honore: him for twenty years, but abandons all fut- ure claim of yecoxnition from It. ‘Tho second nian is perhaps the most likely of the three, ‘Democratic leaders aud papers have declared In favor of sending the whole question to the people, and the members will vote at any thne to adjourn sine dic, A Democratic Ase xemblyman has already introduced a resolu. Uon that the final adjournment take place ext Wednesday at-iy. im. ‘This resolution May come up to-morrow night. Lt could easily be passed in the Assembly by a union of Democrats and Conkling men, but Iu the Senate its fly would be In doubt, ‘The Ad- ministration side have tiftesu members sure, and claim one and possibly two niore. Soven- teen is a majority of the Bente, and w! forces so evenly divided the vole onsuch a duce bitter strife in tha Repubiican ranks at the fall election, and hand all the offices over to the Democrats, If the Senatorial contest is not onded now there will probably be a splitin the Trepubllean party In every dis- trict in the State. Conkiing’s friends will nominate candidates, and his opponents will also nomiuate candidates, Jsetween the two the Democrats will win all the spolls. CAN MI. CONKLING AFFORD TO DIShUrT THE PARTY In this manner any inore than to betray it by olnng with the Democrats? Those who have the welfare of tha party at heart, and many of Mr. Conkiing's sincerest friends, think that the only honorable course open to him is to withdraw from the contest. If bs ndinits his mistake in this manner, he may expect further honors from the party, but not If he exerts all his efforts to rule or ruin it. A It is reported that George William Curtis willbe here to-morrow. He hag many ad- mirers, and may provea successful candi- date. To-morrow promises to be a very lively day, and one productive of larger re- sults of any one. TIIE SINKING SIIIP. RAPID DESERTION soe Tr BY THK CRAFTY RATS, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Youk, May 29.—Roscoe Conkling, with Thomas C, Platt, his former colleague, and Chester A. Arthur, Vice-President of the United States, started for Albany agnin to-night to push the canvass of Mr. Conkling for re@lection tu the seat which he so con- temptuously resigned two weeks ago. Tho Fifth Avenue Hotel, which {s the head- quarters of the ex-Senator when visiting this city, was almost entirely deserted from morning to night. ‘The hosts of ofllecholders and officeseekers who were wont to flock to the house and throng Its corridors when thelr grent chicf was there found it convenient to remain away to-day. Mr, Conkling has now no patronage to dispense, and the chances are most decid- edly that he will have none, at least for soma time to come, and this fact Is am ple expla- nation of the absence of his former hencli- men. ‘Therats have deserted the sinking ship, and Roscoe Conkling has begun to real- {ze for the firat time the meaning of tho phrase, “ PAIR-WEATHER FRIENDS.” The politicians who were enger to grasp his hand, and tlocked to the hotel for that pur- pose during the first week aiter his return from Washington, when the Stalwarts filled the alr with predictions ofhis triumphant retlection and vindication, or to linve no extra session, and allow the vacancies to be filled by the Legisinture to be chosen In November. THE DANGER OF THE LATTER COUNSK is that in many Assembly and Senatorial dls- tricts there would be two sets of Republican candidates, and the next Legislature inight be Democratic, ‘This is a contingency which the Administration: members do not like to contemplate, and {t is doubtful {f they agree to adjourn tiniess they have assurance from dhs Hovernok that he will call them together ‘The suggestion that a recess slinil be taken. for three or four months Js met by the state. ment that it would endanger the legality of the election of Senators, and this Isanother risk that It Is not deemed advisable to take. Aspeech from Conkling Is expected dur- ing this week. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. NO CONFERENCE THERE, Bpectat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Wasutnaton, D. C., May 20.—-The New York papers contain extended accounts of conferences alleged to hinve been held here between representatives of Conkling and the Administration relative to the New York situation. It is perhaps a suficlent dental to these stories that many of the persons named. as having participated In these conferences are not in the city, and that one of them at feast {s fishing in the trout Inkes of Maine. itis not understood that the Administration desires any compromise which would in- selves return of Conkling and Platt tothe jenate, THR MALE SPRAGUE, Gov, Sprague appears to have tried to be a factor in the Conkling fight. It is said that some person claiming to rep- resent hifi some time since visited Washing- ton and informed the Adininistration that they need give themselves no concern as to Conkling, a8 he had a letter which would be roduced on the trial which would crush Conkling. It is now learned, however, that Sprague is disposed to compromise the cant and that there are doubts whether It wil ever be brought to trial. PY ——————_—_ ‘PHILADELPHIA FAILURES.

Pmapetrima, May 20.—Tho dry-coods trade has been somewhat startled of late by fatlures unusual in the staid business circles of Philadelphia, E. V.

He looked wearled and careworn, but the old lordly bearing was visible in his walk, and hesmiled distantly at the clerks and the few persons whom he recognized in the office. Mr. Pigtt had descended from his room at10 o'clock and gone out for a morning ride. Mr, Platt had the appearance of a man entirely worn out bycunstant excitement. He followed his chief to the dining-room, after passing 9 few words with the nowly-appolnted United States Marshal, Henry E. Knox, After his breakfast Mr. Conkilig agaln went down to the corridor, aud remained for nearly an hour talking to such gentlemen as happencd to bo present whom he knew personally, NONE OF THEM WERE POLITICIANS, and none of them have anything to do with his canvass for the Senatership. ‘To one of them the ex-Senator said that he was very hopeful of being re@lected to the Unite States Senate, Le was grieved, he said, that the newspapers should. persist in assert- ing that his business In Albany was to solicit votes, What his business in Albany is he did not condescend to inform the gentleman, At about $o’clock the Hon. Edwin M. Stough- ton, ex-Minister to Russia, ealled on Mr, Conkling, and the two had quite an earnest conversation, which lasted for half an hour, Mr, Stoughton was the only gentleman of rominence who paid his respects to the ex- Benator during the day, NOTHING TO RE GAINED by WITHDRAWING. Administration Republicans say that should Mr. Conkling and Mr, Platt ‘persist in re- mainiog in’ the field with sure defeat staring in tho face they will svon find “themselves almost — entirely | de- serted by the small leaders who have here- tofone becn their only reliance for carrying Conventions, and thus upholding the ma- ching, Mr, Conkling, however, told a friend -on Saturday that there was nothing. to be and, hi gained by withdrawing now, aving: ‘one so fir, he intended to fight it out, hop- ing that the failure of the o position to agreo upon two candidates might yet throw the election into his hands. 4,30, CONKLING 18 EXPECTED TO RETURN héte about Thursday, on the plea that he Is engngeil na counsel in the elevated railroad eases, Circulars continne to be sent to busi- ness men and others in this elty and through- out the State asking them to telegraph and write to members of the Taglslaturs 50- Mciting votes tor Conkling and Platt. It is expected that by this means a large number of telegrams and letters from various sources may be obtained, and tho manifestation of feeling In favor of the Administration which has come from all parts of the State be counteracted.
