SENATOR CoNKLING.
The course Of Conkling in bitterly de.
nOmring Mr. Summers speech Is IN
marked conflict with his own course
when the San Domingo treaty was up in
secret session Tie not only oppOscd the
| treaty Ot annexation, but went out OF his
way to congratulate Sumner ON his
speech against It, ml said any statesman
| in the world might hc proud Of such an
effort That speech and Mr. Summers
| present SPEECH are similar in argument;
/ and Coukliug'S course in selling ont for
offices has earned him great contempt
among the democratic senators.
