Geo. Alfred Townsend telegraphed the
following to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Sat-
urday:
At dinner this evening hada talk with
W, ]. Burley OF Moundsyille, and s. P.
| McCormick, OF Graiton-two OF the three
West Virginia delegates who 80 success.
fully defed Lord Roscoe Conkling to-day,
aud compelled him TO abandon position
that he thought was impregnable. Said
Nc Cormick: 81 may not be as able, but
claim to be as good Republican as Mr.,
Conkling; and ] think it q piece OF imper.
thence on his part TO demand that
should pledge myself to support the can
didate In advance. My constituents sent
me here for that purpose, and | do not
recognize the right Of any such arrogant
as Conkling to question my intentions or
exact pledges from me. 1t is just the
same as though number Of ladies should
meet together, and one OF their number
should demand that all should bind them
selves TO live vsrtuous thereafter. am nc
slave oil Conkling, and / would die before
l would wear his collar. l sincerely wish
that he was kicked out OF the party, fol
though he is Republican by name, he Is
an aristoerat at heart"
Mr.. Burley took the same ground, say
ing that he thought 1t the height Of impu'
dence for Conkling, who sulked in his
tent when Hayes was nominated, to come
forward now and intimate by resolution
that men who have always been true Il
the party intended to prove recreant now
"We live in State" said he, where i
costs something to be a Republican. WI
are not oftiSe.holders or ofIice-seekers, ant
wshave no fear OF Conkling, and no re
spect for his insolent airs" Further con
versation led me to infer that 1t was no
the resolution that was objected TO *
much as the man who made It.
