A special to the Journal from Wash
iugton says that IL is ex pected Conkling
will take some notice in the Senate 20
day OF the reported interview with him
in the New York World. In alluiing
to its publication Mr.. Conkling has this
to say: 1t was furnished by John f.
Mines. a discharged employe of the
Utica Republican, who vas not long
ago discharged by the of
that paper, OF which l had nothing T."
do. He has since that time cherished
feelings of great inveteracy to them
and to me. l am informed that he
sold the article which appears tn day
for \ large sum. Howeverthis may b.,
he pretends TO give in it conversations
which were protected not only by PR
vacy but by hospitality. invited him
to my house; j talked with him there
in confidence. He took no notes or
memorandum my house. He never
used paper or pencil. l was not aware
that any notes were taken. Months
after he attempted to reproduce these
conversations. He has misquoted in
many things and has misconstrued
me IN Others. The six columns in the
World, which l have just finished
reading, abound in Measurements, and,
taken as a whole in their connection,
are untrue. They do not give INV ut
terances. I do not know that l have
anything more TO say.
