CONKLING AND GARFIELD.
HoU One of His Friends Talk s---'' We'oe
| Got No Use for Ohio
ALBANY Cor. N. Y. SUM-
l have conversed this week with many
prominent Republicans of Albany and from
the interior of the State. One of the latter
is in Albany very often, is in the confidence
of the Conkling managers here, and is, be-
sides, warm friend of the Senator. It is
fair to say that he has evidently received
new light since his arrival, and that his re-
| marks reflect ring sentiment here quita as
fully as the opinions of his constituents at
home.
81 cannot speak for Senator Conkling,' -
he said, when I asked him how he fancied
that gentleman was suited with the ticket.
"No man ever can speak for him whom you
find willing to speak. His confdants, if he has
them, are not of that sort But can guess
to my own satisfaction just about how he
likes it.
"No, the Senator does not like any of that
Ohio crowd. You remember the remark as
crlbed to him lost summer, when asked if he
would stump Ohio for Foster, to the effect
that he didn't know any Republican in
Ohio by that name. That sums up his opin-
ion of them all. think he looks upon
them just as all honest, out-and out Repub-
licaus do-as selfish, trading, unprinciplcI
Hessians. The Ohio idea has been the
worst thing We have had to contend with for
the last five years. That idea is-Bnckeyes
first, the men they can handle second, and
the Republican party bad third. One doss
of this has been enough. We've got no use.
for any more Ohio idea.
"How far back does the Senator's dislike
date? Well, it's an old story now. In the
first place, they raise different breed of
men in Ohio now from the generation to
which Chase and Wade belonged. They are
a shifty, shallow, double-faced lot, these
Hayeses and Fosters and Garfelds. There
is nothing square or manly about them. They
are all great professors of morals and all
that sort of thing. They don't swear,
they drink their whisky out
of oranges, and they talked like exhorters.
The present 'Ohio man is a born hypocrite.
chosen intimate in Washington is Senator
Eaton. Mr.. Conkling goes around with
him continually, and is really fond of him.
Why9 Because Eaton is a fellow after
Conkling's own heart-frank, candid, and
without any little meannesses. Both of them
say what they think, whether people like it
or not.
"When Blaiae began to get the Presiden-
tial bee in his bonnet he went at the work of
alternating Congressman from Grants ad-
ministration by promises of patronage and
committee advancement. He got around
him a party of men like Garfield Ohio,
Kelley of Pennsylvania, Ellis d. Roberts of
Utica, and Conger of Michigan. They were
too eager to earn their wages, and insulted
everybody who represented in any way the
administration.
"When Hayes came into national politics
With John Sherman behind him, Garfield
was one of the chaps who felt called upon to
assume the direction of affairs. He went
down to Louisiana, and suppose was as
deep as anybody in that cowardly, scoundrel-
ly compromise plot by which Hayes, who had
run way behind Packard in the State vote,
threw Packard overheard and took the elec-
toral vote of the State himself. I tell you
that thing made Conkling's blood boil. He's
a Republican, every inch of him, and he
properly denounced that deal as the depth of
rascal1ty.
"Ever since the Ohio crowd have made
war on the Senator. They threw out his
friends, Arthur, Cornell and the rest, from
the custom house, they filled this whole State
with anti i-Conkling postmasters and revenue
officers, and did everything they could to hu-
initiate him. I tell you he has stood
a terrible lot of abuse from these people
just for the sake of the party.
He knew that if he lifted his finger the or
ganization in this State would go to pieces
ir forty-eight hours. For this reason he
held his tongue good many times when it
was hard work. He has taken more insults
quietly from these Ohio folks for the sake
of our party here than you can imagine.
E"But to say nothing of Chicago, it is in the
organization of the national committee that
the Growing insult was offered to US. Gar
field began to get frightened about Pennsyl
vania after Hancock was nominated, and he
offered the craftsmanship to Don Cameron.
The understanding was that if he took it, he
was to run the New York campaign in man
ner satisfactory to Robertson, Woodin,
and the rest of the scratchers. He
refused to accept these conditions, say
ing that he would do nothing antagonistic to
the wishes of the New YORK State commit
tee, which is, of course, in our hands. Then
the committee got together, and, by the help
of the territories, which cast no votes any
where except in conventions and commit
tees, Mr.. Jewell was elected, and Mr.. Platt's
claims where wholly, even contemptuoualy,
ignored. That's all there is of it. This is
Mr. JeweiPs campaign. He's running it
we're not. That's ALL
"But," I said, 'tyou haven't told me what
Senator Conkling's position was"
81 don't know anything about his position.
But I do know that his best friends are
mighty afraid they will have the malarial
fever this fall. It's catching, they tell me.
"And I'll tell you something else. If
were Roscoe Conkling-whIch
ain,t---Pd rather bs the head of q
powerful minority in the Senate,
and take my chances with President like
Hancock, than to be the tail of another
OHIO administration"
Several prominent Albany Republicans
have joined the local Veterans Hancock
club. Others make no secret of their inten-
ton of supporting him.
