A Variety Of Opinions on the New York
ers hesIsnation

The dispatch bullelined in the REaIs-
TER window yesterday morning attract
ell great attention, and the resignation
OF ConSling was the absorbing topic OF
conversation throughout tie city all
day. Our reportorial force, as it scat
tered through the village. quizzed var-
Gus persons on the subject and obtained
variety OF views. some OF which are
found below:
Major Cook, New York attorney,
said he had no doubt both Conkling and
his umbrd would be unanimously re.
elected. They stood in the way OF Roc
erison for United States Senator and
want TO give him a chance, or, in other
words, as long as the Legislature en-
dorsed him, see what his strength would
he IS compared to either OF them The
Legislature is now in session, and the
time would be very short
Secretary StaluakeI-A big time is
coming, aud we'll see some lively times.
Col. O'Brien-I think Garfield has
violated the terms OF his agreement. L
have no doubt i'm the world that when
The three Senators and Grant went TO
Mentor, an agreement was made by
which Conkling was take the field. The
agreement was made, and from that
time the Republicans marched on like a
victorious ary. Conklng's move now is
one of two things; it is either a master
stroke Of policy, or the last resort OF
desperate man.
Chorus OF Garfield Republicans-The
President has got Lord Rascoe on the
hip, and has plucked some OF his fancy
feathers. The New Yorker sees he can
not longer lead his party, and he re-
signs.
Chorus OF Conkling Republicans
You bet Conkling knows what he is
about. His resignation shows that he
does not approve ROBBERS on. His imme.
diate reelection will be his endorsemei t
by the people.
Chorus OF Conservative Republicans
The New York Legislature endorsed
Robertson; now how can it, without
trying itself, endorse Conkling's
course in regard to Robertson? And
how will Cornelrs back bone stand out.
Chorus OF Grant Republicans-Conk-
ling is General. He has been told on
the floor OF the Senate that he don't
represent New York State. He has re.
signed, and he didn't do it without
knowing he would be sent back by an
overwhelming majority, and then he'll
see who represents New York, and jim
nv Garfield will learn that old Conk.
has some influence and power and also
had something to do with his election.
Never fret about Conklng-he's all
right.
Bill SchultZe-The news suits me. II
those fellows don't want to play i'll a
square game let them pull out. am
not IN favor of anyone besides Jim Gar
field being President this term that s
what voted for and not the game cock
from New York.
J. WIN. Wait-Well, now, don't that
beat all the funny things you ever heard
OF? Then William started to make a
speech and the inquisitiye man with.
drew.
GOV Jackson-Garfeld has put the
gas into Conkiing and he could not
stand it, l guess.
DR.. Reeves-I hardly know whether
Conkiing is scared out, or whether he
is playing deep game.
Squire Philips-Conkling's trying to
bust up the Republican party.
A. w. Campbell-I knew | settled
him. lie probably heard of my chro.
mo.
Capt. Dovener-The high stepping
Tartar of the Ukraine breed is a little
FESTIVE under the curb. That is all. He
will be broken IN, after little.
Grant Mantle Imperialist faction
is dead down on Garfield now, and he
will go cut OF his office, just such an.
other nOnentity as Hayes.
