Bliss, smilingly. "Oh. no. not at ALL never allow

We did that. you know. we should nave a very SAD
time OF il.

in boiling; the republican machine does not believe
In it. That il all"
Last year Biglin turned out everybody who did
not support him. This year he has done just what
he turned others out for"
'po you think. then. that the committee will take
action on the matter %
al think there will be something done. I do not
know. of course. but think there will be. These
men, Biglin and. Cregan, very useful men to the
machine They can always be relied upon TO send
useful men to conventions when wanted. think
the matter should be put record though. it is
proper to bolt at any or all times want to know it,
and when we get the opinion of the machine on it
we can all vote as We please and the Colonel smiled
as the reporter went out
number of the ''anti-machine'' republicans
1ubilant over Mr. Bliss letter. and claim that 1t is
only the hrst "boom" of an organized assault.
Trouble is surely coming" said one. "we waited
until AFTER election because did not want to inter-
fere with the chances of success the party had Now
that every thing is clear there is going to be muss.
The machine people very anxious about it, too.
and are having daily consultations. Mr.. Conklng
Is here in New York, You know and several consul
tations have been had in his presence. This would
indicate that tho revolt really much stronger and
more serious than would appear the surface. and
also that the machine people fear that the admins
traton finger is in the pie. These revolts have
frequent OF late in small way. There was fuss
over the admission OF the delegation of the
Convention. 1t small affair. to be sure. but
the machine people won the day against the evil
dence of the guar delegates and the arguments of
Colonel Bliss. exJudge Dittenhoefer Sheridan Shook
and others who known among well posted re-
publicans to be 'antimachne' men. There is an or
ganized opposition to the machine and they have
only been waiting an opportunity to commence
operations. The opportunity came in the Seventh
Aldermanic district, where the machine men de-
feated the regular nominees OF the republican Con-
vention. OF course Mr.. Arthur will disavow all
knowledge officially Of the action OF Bigin and
Cregan. but that will not mend the matter.
MORE APPEABs.
"There is more behind all this. too. than appears
on the surface Mr. Conkling is very likely to raise
the roof when he goes to Washington this winter
with his victory close behind him. This will not
please Evarts at all, the other Hayes men
either. SO il they stir up little fuss ut home
for Conkling or his representatives it would be q
very good thing in their eyes, There great many
republicans in this city who very earnest in
an entirely new deal. These mon are
outside of the 'scratchers.' too. Tho latter have
pretty much the same notions, suppose. but their
methods different. There great many men,
said before, who want a change in the admins
tration of local and State republican affairs; but
they will not go outside of the party to get it, They
will stay in and work. and if they get the power
full aid of the administration they will not decline
it, assure you. So you there number of
interests working in the same direction, and If the
machine is not careful it may get very much out of
order
