THE CHARACTER OF A GRANT
LEADER.

Mr.. ConkIing, of New York, is one Of
Grants trusted leaders in the United States
Senate, and s'the eternal fitness of things
appears to be fully justified in this instance.
The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati- Gazette lRadica) gives, in his letter
of feb. Z, this illustration of the character
of Grants leader
SSenator Conkling to-day read short
editorial from the Chicago Tribune, charg-
ing him with disturbing the debate with
loud and persistent cries of question:
Question when the final adjournment re-
solution was under consideration, on Friday
Jan, &c. and afterward changing the Globe
record. 1.-THE purpose of Conkhng was to
DENY that he did shout as charged, he sim
ply stated what every Senator PRESENT,
himself included, knew to be false. Every
correspondent in the gallery at the time,
would testify that he brawled question
at least twenty times. The regular Associ-
ated Press report represents him as crying
Question seven times. The tact is, that
the REGULAR reporter did not begin to in
sert these interruptions till they had
become such a feature of the proceedings
The fact appears that no one of these cries
was printed in the Globe report. This is
not the first time that Senator Conkling has
deliberately stated on the floor of the Sen
ate what every Senator knew to be untrue
in regard to newspaper reports. When the
statement had been made in the public
press that he and Senator Carpenter had,
in executive session, started the investiga-
ton concerning the publication of the
treaty of Washington at the last session, he
denied it from bis place in these words:
"The investigation was not suggested or
originated by me nor by the Senator from
Wisconsin" A few minutes later Senator
Wilson exposed Conkling by inadvertently
referring to what took place in executive
session, and saying: "The honorable Sem
ator from New York prepared the resOlu-
ton, and it was introduced by the hOnOra-
bic Senator from Wisconsin" His denial
to-day was of the same character as this.

whereupon three Germans assaulted him,
drew him down stairs from the fourth to

condition to the balcony and hurled him to
the stone pavement below, breaking his
neck and killing him instantly. Wilson
was also beaten but escaped down the rear
stairway. Fred Klinckmand and Jacob
