BLAINE 1ND CONKLING.

The machine organs, "a surdly assuming that
in some way contest Is in progress be
tween Nh. COnklng and Mr.. Blaine are con-
tinually crying ont that Mr.. Conhing carried
hi, State in the Presidential election aHd Mr..
Blaine lost his. Even if the facts were as thc,
alcgc, they have no particular pcrtIncncc to
the existing status. But the organs do hot tell
the truth. On the same day that Newly York
gave Garfield plurality Of -, 900 Maine gave
him a plurality of 10000. In proportion to the
total number of votes Names plurality for the
Republican candidates was four time, as large
~ that given by Ncw-YoIk. So much Tor that
as a mere matter OF fact and Ggurc,.
1t il true that in the State election in Sep
TENDER Maine gave about 100 plurality foi the
opposition candidate, Plai,tcd, on whom the
Democrats Grccnbackcrs sorchcads and >trag-
glcrs had all confessed. against the regular
Republican candidate. Maine was fighting on
the skirmish line and-was compelled 10 20
under fire before the lines of battle i'm the
National contest had been well drawn. What
would Ncw-Io rk have done had SHE been com
PEELED to vote on the same day Instead of
the Republicans being defeated. as in Maine bv
a hundred votes they would have been buried
under AN adverse majority of thousands Tn
to the time Of the Maine election Mr.. Conkling
had not raised his hand CT spoken word for
General Garfield. He declined even 10 meet
him and speak to him when he came To New
York. For three long months Mr. Conkling
left the country under the impression that he
was either Indifferent or positively hostile to
Garields election. One of the principal Gle
mcnts of tho political stock in trade of the
Democratic party in Maine during the State
contest was that New-YOrk was hOpelessly lost
to the Republicans, that Conkling and his fol-
lowers intended to put the knife to Garfield.
and that the Republicans Of the country were in
q helpless condition with New York joining the
Solid South in the Democratic column. Tha
Mr.. Conbling designedly fostered and encour-
aged this conclusion for three months is be-
yond all doubt true.
I'm the latter half Of September many days
after the Maine election, Mr.. Conkling gra-
ciously condescended, at the urgent solicitation
of personal friends, to appear before the foot
lights in the Academy of Music, with tickets
carefully distributed among his followers and
with claquers well seated in the proscenium
boxes and the orchestra chairs. He delivered
long haranguc, with not n new idea in
il, with no inspiration for the fnturo-a diatribe
on dead and gone issues. lie made not the

faintest allusiOn to General Garfield until he
was forced, by calls from the gallery, to re-
spond in stiff formal and heartless eulogy OF
the great candidate. No speech of Mr.. COnk-
ling's ever fell so dead or did so little good.
He realized this himself, for he was in tower
ing rage all the way back to his hotel, and with
those who called on him afterward. He felt
that he had made failure which could not be
redeemed by all the praises of the sympathizing
political papers.
If il were not childish to pit Mr.. Blaine and
Mr.. Conkliug against each other, one might
recall tie fact that the very next week SIR.
Blaine woke the whole country by the presenta-
ton of the tarin question at monster meetings
in Newark and Philadelphia. Mr.. Conkling
had so little appreciation of the political sltua-
ton, and so little understood what was in the
peoples mind and what would evoke enthusi-
assn for the Republican campaign, that in his
elaborate speech mt the Academy OF Muslc he
did not make the slightest allusiOn to the tariff
But from the moment Mr.. Blaine struck the
kcy-notc at Newark and struck it again at
philadelphia, before n larger audience than
that addressed by Grant and COnkling at
Warren, it became the absorbing issue of the
campaign. Mr.. Conkling in his Ohio speeches
followed on the line laid down by Mr.. Blaine,
and discussed the tariff But in the light of
facts to say that Mr.. COnkling led the campaign
or plotted the ground on which it was fought
is simply to falsify the record. Mr. Conkling
never strikes ont new thoughts. He only elab-
CRATES with sesqupcdalan rhetoric the thoughts
of other men. We might add that q COMPARE
son of the history of the two men as Republican
Leaders would he no more TO Mr.. Combines
credit than that of the part they took in the last
campaign. In twcnty-four successive years
Mr.. Blaine lost " his State but once, whereas
in the past thirteen years Mr.. Conklins has
lost " his nine times.

to the Senate Nobody denies this fact The Conk
Ling journals admit It. Yet in the face of this scnti.
ment Mr.. Conking announces himself as a candi.
date for reelection and orders his workers 20 forcs
his nomination in caucus. II he could secure rs-
election IN this Way he would esll i yindieation
OF MS course at Washington. OF all the preposter-
Gus and absurd things this astonishing man has
done, this Is easily the first.
The only meeting in favor of Conklng's reelection
which has been held IN any part Of the State Il the
one which met in the house Of the Vice President Of
the United States on Sunday last. That could
scarcely be called popular demonstration.
This is not favorable moment 10 attempt to eng
the Republican party with the caucus rule Tho
who attempts n do it viii be retired some what
abruptly to private lie.
II is possibly the purpose of the President to
disseminate general regret that he did not resign.
General Grants name has been dropped from tho
present controversy by sort of general consent
His best friends seemed most anxious 20 have his
contribution 70 the discussion forgotten as quickly
as possible. Many OF the journals most friendly TO
him charitably refrained from publishing his letter
to Senator Jones' and carefully abstained from all
comment upon II. His entree. to say the least,
not well timed. If Jones had been the friend no
ought TO be he would have pocketed the letter and
sent word 70 Grant that ii was received Just III time
TO be too late.
Suppose Conkling were to be reelected, would he
stay in his seati What assurance would the State
have that his primacy would not he affronted again
next winter, and q second resignation follow II
might be necessary to elect him twice every year 70
keep him happy and preserve harmony In the party.
No friend Of the Administration at Albany should
consent to 90 into the Conkling caucus 1t is not a
Republican caucus. but boilers caucus, designed
not to carry ont the will Of the Republican party,
but to thwart il.
There is no reason to think that Conkling hopes
to be elected by square vote. He is shrewd enough
TO the impossibiity Of that. How, then, can no
be elected 7 In no way at all il the representatives
of the people do their duty How will he attempt
to force them to do his will 7 His most probable
course will be to produce deadlock and then hold
over them the threat Of an adjournment without
election. That would leave the two Scholarships
vacant, and he could say in the presence Of this
emergency: &" If we adjourn without election we
will carry this fight into the Assembly Districts and
the natural result will he the election of a Demo-
cratic legislature which will elect two Democratic
Senators. Now you can have your choice-elther
send Plat and me back, or let our seats be filed
with Democrats This is the regulation Conkling
threat II il simply treason to the party. The fac
ton viii h makes il becomes boiling faction. and
no trie Republican can go into its csucns. II Mr.
COnkling dares to make this threat now. let him,
aud the people Of this State will not be long in let
ting him hear from them.
