The action Of the State Conven-
ton under the leadership Of Mr..
Conkling, is the principal topic OF
discussion. Tho aggressive portion
Of the party are those who hold Of
6ce, and these who believe they
would have been in Office but for the
attempt Of the President to inaug-
urate reform in the Civil Service.
This faction of the party applaud
Conkling to>the echo, and are bitter
in their dcnunciation of Curtis. On
the other hand, the solid men Of the
city, Of which class the Union
League Club are fair representa-
tives, assert that "Mr. Conkling's
Convention" as they characterize
the Rochester gathering, did not
represent the party at all, but that
the people will sustain Mr.. Curtis.
They hold that not only the best
element in the Republican party,
but of the Democratic rs we'll, are
in hearty accord with the President,
and that the attack Of Conkling up
ON the Administration was not only
bad thing for the party, but is the
death of that gentleman. There is
no concealing the fact that there is
deal of bitterness in the organize
ton, and it crops out on all occasions
as naturally as it did at Rochester.
The Conkling people insist that they
have made the party, and have main.
tanned it, and that to prevent such
man from using his influence be-
cause he happens to hold an Office,
is,wrong. Tho President and his
supporters take the event very quiz
city. Evarts says that no matter
what the result Of the elections may
be, this Fall, the people will sustain
the policy when they come to see its
practical effects. And the Presi-
dent says that he is doing exactly
what he was pledged to do before
the election, and as he does not want
another term, it is a matter for the
people to do as they choose about.
And oil Republicans, except few
disappointed ones, say that Conk-
ling should have followed the exam
pie of Blaine, and kept the party
intact, and reserved his personal
grievances till q more fitting time,
A very pretty little history came
to mo the ether day. In 1870, a
