CONKLING, Failure of His Bitter War on the President and People.

Y., July 18.—Just two months ago tcxlay Roscoe Conkling and Thomas C. Platt.resigned their pusitions in the United States Senate and came before the Legisla- ture of the- State seeking a vindication. Through the force of circumstances Mr. Plait withdrew from the contest a short time since, but his vindication was not complete unil this afternoon, when Congressman Warner Miller was elected to fill his vacant chair, and ** Me Too” was given permission to devote his entire energies to the duties of the Quarantine Commissioner and Presiden- cy of the United. States Express Comm- pany. Early this mornmg there was a feeling that the deadlock was at Jastio be broken, But it was not until after the usual morning caucus of the Obstrue- tionists that Miller’s election could be cer- tainly predicted. Lapham’s success was not louked for until later, _ THE BUCK GATHERING was very stormy and exciting. Hot words and bitter reproaches were freely uttered, and atone time a personal encounter be- tween Sharpe and. another Assemblyman seemed Liiminnet. The Speaker announced to the members present that he felt it his duty now to vote for the caucus nominees. Hethoughta continuance of the long struggle Would be full of danger to the party, and, in his.opinion,the deadlock should be ended. In the course of his remarks he said: “lowe Conkling nothing but friendship,” and ex- pressed nis regret at having to desert him. Cullinan, Hurd, and one or two others, de- clared their purpose to break away. The majority of the Bucks labored hard to keep the deserters in line, Straban aud Armstrong being particularly strong in their appeals aud denunciations. Their efforts, however, proved unavailinz, and the meetmg broke up WITH MUCH BAD FEELING. As soon as the Joint Convention was called to order Speaker Sharpe arose to explain his iutended action, He referred to the failure to call a caucus at the beginning of the con- test, and the scene which followed that course, and stated that he had informed his associates when last week’s caucus was held that he felt obliged to accept its results. Be had delayed taking that,course because he desired to see whether the majority, after having the danger involved in the election of Swo Congressmen pointed out to them, would take the risk in electing their candidates. Bis friends of the Acdiministration having said that they, were willing to take the risk, HE CUNSIDERED HIS DUTY DONE. “T further vostponed my action,” he said, In conclusion, *‘ a little while for the sake of comradeship. Ido not oppuse Messrs. Miller aud Lapham on personal grounds, for L know them to be good Republicans and men pt conceded ability and integrity. L have only to add that, when my name shall-be called, Ishall change from that great leader who sooiten led the party to victory and cast my vote for Elbrige Lapham.” The an- Rouncement was received with great and ong-continued applause by the large crowd which had thronged the galleries and lobbies in anticipation of a big day. The rotl-call then proceeded. ‘The vote of every Buck was eagerly awaited, butthe “ Old Guard,” as Senator Strahan ‘was pleased to call the Obstructionists, DID NOT FOLLOW SHARPE'S LEAD AND SUB- BENDER Only -Senator Baker and Assemblyman Sisson deserted. ~The other twenty-nine still shouied for Roscoe Conkling. Tuls brought Lapham’s score up to sixty-eight, or within five of an election, 145 members being present. Yesterday he lacked nine of an election. ‘The accessions he had received madeit evident that the long term ballot would bring Miller within pne ur two of an election, if it did uot result in achoice, and the roll-call was watched with breathless interest. As soon as Sena- tor Winslow, one of the Bueks, chanzed from Wueecler to Miller, every one felt that the deauluck was broken, and that the forty- eighth ballot would result in the election of a Senawor, In the Assembly seven other Conkluzites broke to Miller,—Binghaw, Campbell, Cullinan, Diekey, Hurd, Jackson, ghd Sharpe. ‘hese accessions brought Mil- Jer’s yute up to 76, or three more than were Decessary to elect. THE ANNOUNCEMENT BY JUDGE ROBERTSON, the presiding Oilicer, that Warner Miller, of the County of Herkimer, had been elected Uniteu States Senator to succeed Thomas C, Plait, was greeted by cheers and loud ap- plause. On motion of Senator Winslow, the Joint Convention adjourned until Monday, the Bucks and Demverats favoring the mo- tion, thus putting Lapham’s election over to some other day. Mr. Miller, who was stay- ing at the Delavan House, received the hearty congratulations of lus friends and other Repuvlicans during the afternoon, A general i to tender him a_ sere Date to-nizht was manifest, but, in ac- cordance with his desire and that of his fends, the public celebration of the victory has been postponed until Mr. Conkling’s successor is also chosen.

ArBAny, N. Y., July 16,—The Joint Con- Vention met at noon, . The Chair announced that the Convention would vroceed to vote fur a United @tates Senator in place of Ros- coe Conkling, resigned. Speaker Sharpe—Mr. President, there are a number of gentlemen here in joint conven- tion who are aware of the fact that when my name is reached upon the roll-eall 1 shall have something to say in expfanation of my vote. By courtesy my name Is at the foot of the rol{, and it has been suggested to me, both py those who approve everything I am to say and by those Wo do not, Unat ib would be manly to make a statement at the bexin- ning of the rull-call. If there be ne objection on the part of any member of the Joint: Con- vention, I will proceed to do so now, Slr. President, when the election of United States Senators was brought before the jature of the State of New York, there Was one course that ursued to preserve the unity of the part; to preserve har- mony, and that was that THE Co: 1ON NAMED A CAUCUS should be called by the persons authorized to call that caucus in the regular way. We have presented a scene in this Legislature which Tam sure all good Repuol: 5 nUst regret. ‘Che gentlemen with whom I have acted duruig seven weeks t could do nothing more than make the strongest forci- ble protest against the action uf a majority of the Senate Committee by yous for a- United States Senator who had resigned, against wiom the action of the Caucus Commnttce was said to be par- ticularly directed. Mr. President, that con- diuon of things, for which we were in no wise responsible, remained until the caucus called at the close of last week.

FORSTER. . ae Atpaxy, July 16.—When his name was called, Senator Forster said he believed it to be the duty of every member of the Legis- lature to act in- accordance with lis own views of duty.. He had done so, and Would | continue to do so. Asa member of the Cau ,cus Committee he considered it to be his duty to reflect the views of the majority of.‘bis party. Some members had bound themselves not to enter a caucus on the Senatorship, and not to vote for Conkling in any event:,-He Was among the number, and, whatever.yjews others inight take, he felt. that he ‘was ipund to stand by his agreement. Belleving that New York Cicy ought to havea represdnta- tive in the Senate, he should vote for William M.

So thoroughly did he (Halbert) respect the d. jon of the gaucns that, if it nominated Forster for Senator, much as it would go against bis, in@lin fhe would vote tor Forster. In goncluston, albert sail healif- fered from the Speaker, who, in this Jour when victory abuut to peel upon their (the Bucks’) banners, had deserted them.

To-day, to a person who ventured to inquire as to his purpuses, Mr. Conkling replied that he was here on purely private business, that he did not know how long he should stay, and that pol- ities had ceased to give him any concern. In view of the election of Warner Miller, which, at the time this talk had with Conkling seemed probable, the ex-Senator’s loss of interest in politics is not remarkable. ‘The election of Representative Miller to-day, and the probable election of Representative Lapham on Monday, will compiivate matters in the orzanization of THE NEXT MOUSE OF REPRESENTAVIVES. ‘The successors of Messrs.

Their wages at the time work was stopped was 5° per cent higher than those paid in Pittsburg, and they struck for an ad- vance of 20 percent.

It was claimed here that the Pittsburg inill-owners were at the buttom of the Cinciunati strike; that they had worked through the Amal- gamated Unions upon the workmen here and secured a strike in their own interests.
