Conkling's private sccretary said to a reporter that the next senators will not go to Albany to-day, but will await the caucus of the - republican members of the legislatu-e, which will be called this cvening. A PEESONAL CANVAS If it is thought best for them to make a personal canvass they will leave cn this morning’s train, GENERAL COMMENTS. Gen. Lloyd Aspinwall said to a re- porter: “I think there is every rea- son to believe that Conkling and Platt both will be re-elected. Conkling is a very strong man in the republican party of this state and ho is a very shrewd politician. I do not think he would enter a contest for re-clection unless he was assured that he would be successful.” One of the gentlemen who attended the caucus last evening, at Vice-Pres- morning: I have no doubt, whatever, tha both senators will be re-clected. If it is thought necessary Mr. Conkling will visit Albany to-day. At first had a doubt sther they could re- ceceive an alection, but now I have none, and am willing to stake almos any sum that they will go back to the United States senate.” A HOT CONTEST. A prominent republican from one of the interior counties taid: My be- lief is that you will see th's week and next, one of the most hotly contested political contests at Albany that has ever taken place in this state. Itmay be that M. ‘Conkling will go back, but even if he doos, what sort of a vietory will it be for him. He will have the approval of a lesislature chosen for_the express pui pose of re- electing a Tniifed Siates senator as ar, assistant -who would be entirs}y gub- servient to-him:” CONKLI:u'S CALLERS. _ Among ; those who called on Conk- ling yesterday were Vice-Prosident Arthur, John D. Lawson and John J. O'Brien. 7 Fx-Semator Platt left the hotel shorily after 9 o'clock this morning and by 10 o'clock was busily encaged in his office as president of the United States express company. AN INTELVIEW.

Keeps Its Place in the Land, and Knocks Off More Hours 4t thie Timie td the Past: Neiv and important changes in the time schedule of the Baltimore and Ohio company into effect on_the 22d, promise to he greeted with very de- cided favor by the people throughott theentire west. Very radical im- provements have of late-been per- fected in the track and management of the road, and now that everything is in order for making remarkably fast tinte, thie new schedule is an- nounced, and from this time on things will fairly hum on the old tine. The time from Chicago to New York is very materially lessened, as the train which formerly left there at 4: will, under the new schedule, leave at b:15. Al tho leading castern lines have through express trains for the east leaving at this our, and the B. &O. with its splendid facilities and unequalled advantages in reach- ing Washington, arrives m that city afull night in advance of the 5:15 trains on competing roads, or in other words, passengers leaving on the B. & 0. arrive at Washington next even- ing, while by taking the 5:15 trains of other lines, the National Capital is not reached until the second morning. 7 | Another very striking advantage pos- sessed by the Baltimore and Ohio road is, that it is the only line from Chicazo running solid tramns through to Washington, Baltimore, Phil- adelphia and New York. As the trains are made up here, s0it goes through, there. being no change of cars of any class whatev- . |er. Tothose who donot take sleeping cars for the entire journey but who make themselves comfortable in the regular coaches, the absence of all changes cannot but be exceedingly grateful. The regular coaches are of the very finest description being of the latest pattern and _suppliod . with every possible convenience. Thous- ands of tons of new steel rails have been Inid, and the motive power has been largely augmented by a number of new and very powerful engines. In short, the B. & O. is to-day without a superior in offering first class facilities to the traveling public, and at the same time remains the model fast line of the country. The new palace sleeping cars continue to call forth the undisguised admiration of the traveling public. They are to spacious and so elegantly appointed as to afford the greatest posssble comfort while traveling, and certainly no slecping car line in the country has more affable and accommodating con- ductors and porters. The parlor cars just placed upon the line are beyond all question the finest being built in this country, or, for that matter, any other country. They are different in several respects from the stereotyped style ot parior cars, being more spacious and more luxurious. The dining car line from Chicago is, like everything else on the B. & 0., of the very best, the meals served being worthy of compar- ison with those of the best hotels in the country. A uniform price of sev- enty-five cents r i it hn";nw':dwbef'ir?flfdl menu embracing the finest and best that the market affords. The time from New York to Chicago has been lessened an hour, the through train being duc at 7:30 instead of 8:30 as before. There is no material changein the time of the merning train. “BLACK-DRAUGHT ” cures costive- ness and Sick-Headache, A C.F. Trodman's FLIES & MOSQUITOES.
