Mr. Graves, an old and intimate friend of the bride’s family, and Rey. Dr. Paret, rector ot the parish. The altar of the church was beautifully and uniquely decorated,—a lovely blorsoming bough taking the place of the cus- tomary floral bell or horseshoe. At the ap- pcinted hour the party entered the church, to the music of the wedding march, Jed by the ushers, Messrs. F. S. Blanchard. T. P. Borden, A. T. Riddie and C H. Story, all of this city.

Mr. Strahan and Mr. Holber: re- Plled, The debgte was sharp, and the demo- crats enjoyed it. Outside the legislature less interest was manifested. Messrs. Conkilag and Arthur and their friends continued their levee. THE CAUCUS FIZZLE—MR, CONKLING'S NOTES OF INVITATION. ‘The two republican wings arc as far apart as ever. The principal feature of interest was the failure of the stalwarts to hold their caucus, After repeated declarations that they had fifty-seven signatures to the call, the stalwaris, inthe afternoon, announced that they woul not held a caucus, but would, instead, hold a friendly conference. In pursuance of this pian Mr. Conkling addressed the following note to numerous republican members of the legisla- ture: ALBANY, Thursday, May 26. My Dear Sir:—I would like a few minutes, conversation with you as soon as may be, at a tme and place of your conventence. Will you let me hear from you? Cordialiy"yours, Roscoe CONKLING, Most of these invitations were addressed to gemini radon men, The conference was a failure. CONKLING FORCES BEATEN IN THE FIRST SKIRMISH. ‘The Heratd’s special says: “tis past Thurs- Way midnight, and no republican caucus for Senatorial nominations has been held. Mr. Conkling’s supporters frankly concede that they have been beaten in the first skirmish of the Senatorial campaign. A caucus for this evening was the objective point, at which they have almed steadily ever since the correspond- ence between the assembly and senate commit- tees was Opened last Monday, and they have failed to obtain the signatures of a majority of the republican members or the legislature to a Call for it. But there 1s no disposition on their Part to abandon the attempt to enforce the Usual methods Of partisan action. The effori for a caucus 1s transferred to Monday night,and they express confidence that meanwhile repud- lican partisan optalon will reintorce their en- deavor, and will compela caucus at that time by Its stress upon hesitating senators and ac- semblymen.” WHY THE CAECUS FAILED ‘The Times’ dispatches say: “It was dificult to get at the true reason for the postponement of the caucus, which was surely some other and more reagonable one than that 80 grossa biuneer as a failure to give notice had been Made. A New York poiitician, one of the few Temaining here to-night, said, in confidence, that the actual reason was one very distasteful to admit, but also one that would have to be- come known sooner or later. The actual num- ber of signers to the call, according to this Statement, was 45, Senator Astor, who signed Just alter the recess of the Senate, was the Torty-fitth signer. After he had attached his nate desperate efforts were made to .ecure ad- Giticnal names, and with great difficulty the list was forced up to 48. It wasseen that i¢ Would be impossibie to calla caucus. Nine or ten men could be found willing to go into conference, but they were men who could not be reifed upon, and 1 was feared, if a caucus ‘Was Called upon the strength of promises made with reservations, that the men might neglect to answer the Cail, and then put the Conkiing men in the awkward position of holding a caucus or conference at which leas thana Majority of members would be present. The list was submitted, it 18 sald, to Mr. Conkling, and it Is reported that then for the frst time he expressed himselt as disposed to abandon the contest. That.the situation was not a chering one Was apparent to every oo- server. The leading men among the stalwarts were busy in conference in Conkiing’s room ali the evening, Mr. 8. B. Dutcher going and. com- ing constantly and wearing a fatigued and arxious countenance that gave no sort of en- couragement to his friends. The talk about Blames activity in this contest, which was Suddenly {njected into all atscussions last night, Was beard uo more. There wa3 nv boast- ing about the 72 names that were to be secures with ease.” TUE ADMINISTRATION PARTY GROWIN}. ‘The 7ri’sune’s specials speaking of the ‘allure to hold a caucus and of the Conkling lst of stalwarts, says: “Just how maay signatures they actually have, it would be difileuit to say. A member of strong Conkling sympathies, put DOL in favor of seeing hima candidate, sald to- bight that at midnight last night there were oniy thirty-six names on the list, ang he be- Meved there were now only thirty-seven. It is known that the supporters of the administra- Uon have thirty-nine names signed to their pledges and count up now fifty members who willstand by them. The drift is unquestion- ably toward the administration; butin the eyes of many of the members the machine casts a Jong and fearful shadow. They are atraid of offending the machine, at the same time that they are afraid of offending the administra- tion; and thus they remain ‘in a doubifal, al- most equivocal position between the two; airaid to go over to either and afraid to stay away from bath.” THE STALWARTS DAZED. * . ‘The Sun correspondent says of the situation yesterday:— ‘The stalwarts seemed dazed. They wore troubled faces, Vice Presid2nt Ar- thur'’s hopes were not fulfilled. The neaded recruits to give @ caucus call the color of rega- Jarity were not forthcoming, and no call been issued. The whole machine was out of order, and the most experienced workmen could Rot set it ranning. Ol] and grease were used in vain. Mr. Conkling did not appear until long ‘After the legislature had gone into session. The half breeds were more jubilant than ever, * We've got the hog hock into him,’ sald Sena- tor Sessions, ‘and drawing him toward the hot water. That’s what’s the matter.’ Atter break- fast the Senator was closeted for a long time With ex-Marshal Payn, C. M. Dennison and A. B. Johuson, of Utica. Arthur and Platt with- Grew from public gaze. Mr. Conkling’s personal ears has been stretched to the utmost ten- on.” THE CONKLING MANAGERS EXPLAIN THE CAUCUS FAILURE by saying that Speaker Sharpe had blundered in failing to announce the caucus from the desk just after the adjourment, and they dia not want tobe charged with having called a S*Tee dispatches generally ssy Conkling 1s losing ground. NO CONFERENCE AT VICE PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S. Vice President Arthur, last night, pronounced the story of a conference at his residence, in ‘New York city, last Sunday, a falsehood. He Sald: “Yes, 1t was entirely false. During whole of last Sunday only six gentlemen who called at ray house found me at home, and three of them were social visit town.

ALBANY, May 27. ‘The altuation remains practically unchanged today. The stalwarts have, been unable to even claim more than fifty-one votes of th fifty-four which they require. They, therefore, did not dare respond to the call for the caucus last night, and abandoned even a supplemental * conference proposed by Mr. Conkling. Public sentiment throughout the state seems to be almost one way as reported to members ofthe Assembly. ‘The withdrawal of Assem- blymen Hurd, of Erle, and Cowles, from the caucus call, ald the pronounced opposition of such papers as the Troy Zines and Eimira Ad vertiser—both heretofore strozg supporters of Mr. ene te eae the drift of the tide. The administration repudifcans claim tuat Uheir victory 1s assured, and that they will elect two republican Senators next week.

There need no longer be any doubt of Gov. Cornell's tlop. He is working earnestly for Mr. Conkling. The Albany Express this morn- ing, in its appeal for the re-election ot Mr. Conkling, says that the “Corporation monopo- lsts are seeking to crush him.” It lustily de- mands that a caucus be held in the “interest of an imperiliea party.” The Evening Journal this afternoon shows quite clearly that Mr, Conkling cannot be re-elected. Among the gossip is the talk of a combina- tion between Conkling and Tilden for Senators This, of course, could only be brought about ‘by a coalition of democrats and stalwarts. Tuey are, al besf, personal friends. (By Associated Press.) Conklingites Still Fighting for a Caucus. ALBany, N.Y., May 27.—The Conklingites are still fighting strenuously for a caucus, and declare emphatically that the fate of the party in this state rests upon such action. ‘To co into the election for Senators without first holding a caucus, they say, reduces the pariy 10a mob, with no head, no tall, no organiza- it will break it up hopelessly and neces- sitate a reorganization which has required years to perfect. Their argument ts that the republican party of this state owes ail it is to the machinery it has now in existence, and to break it is to turn the state over to the democ- racy for many years tocome. The usual recess ull Monday night will be taken by the legiala- ture, and the Conklingttes hi in the interval to effect the object they have 1a view, securing the requisite number of signers to the call. The Forces About Equally Divided. Owing to the absence, on account of sickness, of J. 8. Carpenter, of Duchess county, there are oply 105 republican legisiators. These are fald to be divided into 47 for Conkling and 47 ag! him, leaving 11 doubtful. A ma jority of the 105 ts 53, and the Conklingites need 6 more to make that majority. Itis sa'd they ‘Will get those and call the caucus for Monday night. Then, if the administrationtsts will nct go into the caucus and will not make the ity-three, they will have to take the re- bsibility of turning against the party of the State, and the Conklingites will have a chance to devote themseives to breaking the deadlock. pe — tobedone, it is too soon now to dicate. Recess of the Legislature Until Monday Evening. ‘The usual resolution for a recess to Monday evening was offered in the assembly, but at the request of Speaker Sharpe it was 1aid aside, as he aid there ought to be some consultation before action. At 11:30 the resolution was called up In and Mr. Raines suggested that it would be better to adjourn to Tuesday morn- Ing. Speaker Sharpe sald that would require a concurrent resolition and the Senate has alre:dy objected to such a resolution. Mr. Miles moved to amend by adjourning till to- morrow merning. This was voted down, and the regolution to adjourn tojMonday evening Was sdopted. It is understood that the houss Will then meet and immediately adjourn till next morning. The Latest Count—Birds on the ush. ‘The last count shows that out of 105 repubii- cans inthe legislature the Conkitngites have 55 and the anti’s 50. This gives the Conkling- ites the right to & caucus, Or would give them that rightif they had 55 signatures to their call, but they have not the signatures. They count several birds in the bush as do thelr opponents, owing to the refusal of sev- ral members to sign either paper. Conkling and Arthur. Conklirg apd Arthur will leave the city today for New York, where the conferences Will be contioued. Their friends insist that everything will be settled before Mofday next. ‘There ig evidently a better feelirg among the stalwarts this morning than there was yester- day, while the anti’s are by no means des:0nd ent. For and Against Conkling and Piatt, Several petitions were presented in the Senate this morning from various towns and counties against the and Platt. Mr. Mills presented a petition of citizens of Onelda county, asking for the re- election of the ex-Senators, also a petition from the same county calling upon the legisi:- ture to sustain the administration. A remon- strance was presented from business men of New York City against the re-election of Conk- ling and Platt. The DY §] cfal (strongly pro-Conkling) says: “The chances are & the caucus will Ue held on next Mon- day evening, and as there are known to be 57 signers the call will be binding on all who d>- sire to remain in accord with the repubitcan organization. I say there are 57 sigaerg be- cause this number is known, but there will robably be hearer 90 when the call is issued.” hat the Democratic Caucus Will Do. ‘The Express’ Albany special says:— ‘The ma- sortty of democrats here are of the opinion thst e democratic caucus will settle upon ex-Gov.
