CONKLING AVERSE TO GAR
FIELD

Yesterday was, If possible, one of the
dullest days at the Republican head
quarters since their establishment. II
was next to an impossibility 10 get any
news even II there was any TO be had
from the officials. Ex-senator Dorsey
at one time stated that Senator Roscoe
Conkling had not visited The committee
room, but later on Gov. Jewell insisted
that the great Senator had been there.
but declined to state positively whether
he had personally seen him or not The
c,nduct of Mr.. Conkling is severely
,mmen'ed upon by some Of the most
prominent Republicans. They say the,

In tho reception and serenade to the
Repuhlca candidate for the Pres dency,
A couple to days ago Senator Conklir z,
accompanied by Gen. Arthur, called
upon Allan Campbell, Commissioner
of Public Works, bat when questioned
as TO the purport, the trio stated that
1t was mere formal call aud that there

Yesterday afternoon Senator Conk-
ling and Gen. Arthur were seen by re-
porter of the Star as they sauntered
down Centre street, near the Tombs
Police Court. They were joined by a
stranger, and the trio proceeded to the
Office of the Clerk of the Court Of
Special Sessions, ex-Assemblyman Chas
G. Blaikie, with whom long confer
ence was held. Mr.. Blake has been
one OF the most active Republican
workers IN this city for years, to which
fact he owes his present position. He
is AN untirlng friend of Gen. Arthur
and is evidently endeavoring to get the
great Conkling into the traces of his
benefactor. 1t is an open secret that
Conkling mas positively declined To
sprak for Gen. Garfield, but has prom.
ised to make que Or more speeches in
favor Of Gen. Arthur. A reporter ior
the Star asked both Senator Conklinp
and Gen. Arthur TO give some informa.
ton Of the interview, but they posi-
lively declined.

A DIsappoIntnent,

BY the census just taken it APP
pears that the State of Wisconsin
has not increased in population dur
ing the last decade as rapidly as was
anticipated. The enumeration will
show about 300, 600, which will be
a gain of only 300, 900 in ten years,
and the increase is shown mostly in
the cities, Milwaukee alone having
added to her population about 40, 600,
The people of Wisconsin are greatly
disappointed over the result, as they
had confidently claimed popula.
