The COmklilaxS.

Gen. Grover, OF Ohio, relates to cor
respondent OF the Cincinnati Enqirsr
some "reminiscences characteristic of the
Conkling family:
~ have made some inquiries in New
York about the Conklings, and they
seem to be queer. In Geneseo, where
they came from originally, they tell all
sorts of ridiculous anecdotes about them.
1t appears that there were three sisters
and two Sous. The sisters live sort OF
hermit life, and two of them, think,
did not marry. They say Conkling's
brother, Fred, thinks he ought to lie
senator, as he is altogether bigger man
than Roscoe. The old man. Judge
Conkling, father of Roscoe, must have
been curiosity. l was told that some
gentlemen called to see him at Utica ON
one occasion, presuming that he was stay
ing at his sons Office. Conkling entcr>
tanned the patty with considerable grand
ure, supposing they had come to see him.
He was not 50 cordial when he found
they were in search Of the old man. The
Judge was found in little house away
down the street, and in small room,
and when he heard that they had called
on Roscoe, he exclaimed: THAT is all
you came to Utica for, to see Senator
Conkling. You did no. think me worth
calling on frst.' The old fellow was
jealous of his son, and wanted the atten-
ton. On another occasion Judge Conx.
ling was called on to make speech, and
was introduced to the audience as the
father of Hon. Roscoe Conkling. At
this the old fellows countcnance Tell,
and he began to stumble in his speech,
and seemed to loose all heart in what he
was going to say; and after the meeting
he belabnred that man fercely for having
introduced him as the father Of his son
instea, of the Judge himself. They tell
me that Conkling. on one occasion,
wanted to consult his father on point
OF law" said Grosvenor, 1.-THE father
being the best lawyer OF the two. So
Roscoe began the letter to his father:
Hon. Alfred Conkling, Utica. New
York-My Dear Sir: instead OF saying:
MY dear father, give me some intor
nation"

THE LONDON TINES" ON THE New
York ELECTIoN.-The ambition of the
Democratic party in the United States
has received heavy blow. The State
election of Tuesday, following upoE
those of September aud October, have
given proof of strong popular move
ment in favor of the Republicans. 1t is
unnecessary TO recapitulate the history of
Republican defeats. The Presidential
election of 1876. though it placed Mr..
Hayes in power, was disaster for the
party which had ruled the Union since
the outbreak Of the war of secession.
The Democrats, exulting in the majority
of votes recorded for Mr.. Tilden on that
occasion. acted as if no power on earth
could deprive them of the revcrs,On of
the Executive upon the ensuing vacancy.
Never did party with so many advan-
tges throw them away so recklessly.

Rlackburn's Views.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Congressman
Blackburn has exploded in aninterv1ew
published here to-day. He says some
very good things. and criticises his fellow
Democrats with rare candor. Referring
to the New York election, he says:
l have not the slightest doubt that the
whole Democratic ticket in that State
would have been elected but for the OBJ
stinacy Of Tilden and trcacllery Of Kelly.
A greater miatake than the nomination
OF Robinson, which was forced upon the
Syracuse Convention by Tllden, was never
made by political Convention or mans
ager. I was one of the informal Com
mittee that waited upon Tilden and re-
auested him to consider the interests Of
the Democratic party before stooping to
crafty personal animosities. Mr. Tilden,
however, could not be convinced. He
elected to stand or tall with Robinson.
The action of the Republican Conven-
tion decided him in this. He thought
Cornell very weak candidate and argued
that the Administration would not milk
the treasury Tor his support, and that
COnklings great source of strength, the
Custom House, was cut of his grasp.
Then he considered the dissatisfaction
existing among the Republicans Of the
State. Considering these things, he de-
termined to thwart the risk. When
Tllden has erred hitherto it has been la
mentally upon the side OF prudence. On
this occasion he was rash. His logic was
right but his premises were wrong.
Against the advice OF his trusted friends,
MIR. Tilden took the risk. He must abide
by the result.
You consider him dead, politically,
then9
Why, he might AS well be Theoretically
sealed in n terra Gotta casket and buried
twelve feet under ground instead of six.
He is as dead as Thurman. There is an
effort to arouse sympathy for him on the
ground Of the wrong done him in 1876,
but the general feeling is that the inter-
es,s of the party should supercede pri
vate claims, and Mr.. Tiiden will be
dropped.
The New York election, then, has not
weakened your faith in the ability of the
Democratic party to carry the country
next year again
Emphatically, no. l will qualify that,
by saying that IT the Democrats don't
make fools of themselves and nominate
an idiotic ticket upon an insane platform,
which don't think is possible, we are
sure of success. 1t behooves us, however,
to be careful and make no mistakes next
wear. Our latitude has been considerably
narrowed. Name is Republican beyond
question. Ohio is taken out o. the list
ot uouotiul states, anu piaCcu Ill tnc
Republican column. We have no hope
of carrying the Pacific slope. am will
ing to draw these lines very tight, and
tell the Republicans to take those and go
to the devil with them. We will be cons
tent with New York, Indiana and con-
cede to the Republicans the other north
ern states.
Being asked who his candidate was,
Blackburn named Horatlo Seymour; but
he aaid he would tie satisfied with Uan>
cock, Hendricks, Porter or Bayard.

New YORK, February 1.-THE follow
ing is the sitting of many runors current
respecting the Union Pacific: That the
syndicate, which includes Russell Sage,
James T. Keene and several others Of large
means, this morning bought from Jay
Gould seventy thousand shares of Union
Pacific stock, some Of their number having
before bought SO, 900 shares, so that the en-
tire holdings Of the syndicate are now one
hundred thousand shares, which have been
acquired at a cost Of between 20 and 15.
The transaction is 10 be followed by re-
organiz ion Of the board. Included in the
the names of Solon Humphreys and John

at 69l, aud suddeoly jumped to 7S. 1t
then fell TO 15I and again advanced 10 az
Wall street was puzzled by these extraordi-
nary fluctuations and every form Of rumor
was current. Ii soon, however, seemed to
be settled as If by authoritative statement,
that Jav Gould had effected arrangements
by which the control OF the Union Pacific
railroad passes into the hands OF a syndicate,
composed of some OF the strongest gentle
men in Wall street. The names OF these
were variously reported, but it was gener-
ally believed that the syndicate includes
Russell Sage, James r. Keene, Addison
Commack, C.J. Osborne, W.K. Morgan, W.
l.. Scott and Frank Work.
IT WAS ALSO RUNoRED
that the board Of directors is to be changed,
some saying Jay Gould is TO go out and
that representatives, Of the new buyers are
to go into the board As one OF the condi
tions of the transaction it was said, with |
some emphasis, that Gould will retire from |
the direction Of the road on March Isl, and |
that wo gentlemen OF acknowledged ability |
aud character will be added to the board |
Gould, according TO the better informed, |
was the holder of 10 900 shares, and Of |
these he has sold 10000 shares at price /
not far from 20 As he bsgan TO purchase
stock at something below $50, an idea can
be formed OF the great profit which this
has brought him. Ii is under
stood that
GOULD has FOR SOME TINE CONTEMPLATED
RETIRING
from active business and that this is the
reason for this step. A gentleman we'll in
formed as TO GoulG's affairs stated that the
sale Of his Union Pacific interest was the
greatest operation in the eyentful history
Of this remarkable operator and that he was
to day wealthier than ever before.
Even in Wall Street il is seldom that a
single transaction for 100000 is made,
and the sale Of that amount OF Union Pa
,ific stock, following closely upon a trans
action for SO 200 900 which it now appears
vas recently made, attracted great atter-
ion.
