The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-09-20

The primary elections in Utica yesterday
upset the notion that Mr.. Conkling has re-
| tired from active work in politics. They
also upset Mr. Ellis II. Roberts who de-
clared on the previous day that the repub-
| Iicans of Utica were five to one against Mr..
Conkling Mr.. Conkling worked at the
polls all day in his own ward, and carried
it handsomely on square issue with the
Administration men. He also carried six
other wards. The Administration men
elected delegates from four wards, and in
one ward contesting delegates were chosen,
The total republican vote of the city showed
that a large majority Of the voters sided
with the ex-senator as against the Admin
istration.
Primary elections yet to be held in some
of the rural towns will determine whether
or not Mr.. Conkling will control the two
Assembly District Conventions that meet
next week to choose delegates to the State
| Convention There is every probability
that he viii, and that, as in other years,
the ex-senator will be on the floor of the
State Convention at the head of the Onei
da delegation.
| The contest yesterday demonstrated
| that Mr.. Conkiing has lost none of his
strength in his own city. He has had har-
der fights there before, and his escape
| from defeat last year when he undertook
| to carry Grant through was narrower
than it was yesterday. 1t would doubtless
pain the worthy Postmaster General tc
| learn that the Utica Post Office was an &C
| tive agency in the Half Breed campaign
/ against the ex-senator, and in particular
| that reformed civil service letter carrier
| headed delegation and was CONSPICUOUS
in game of flsticuffs.-Saia.

Exactly what the political effect Of
President Garfields death win be is now
hard to foretell; harder now than it would
have been had he died on the day he was
shot That the administration of Presi-
dent Arthur will differ in many material
respects from that of his predecessor is
an acknowledged fact, but how far that
difference will extend is now difficult to
conjecture.
Garfield represented one faction of his
party; Arthur another. The fight be-
tween these two factions was long and
bitter; out of this fight the Presidents
death resulted, and by the death of Presi-
dent Garfield the leader of the opposite
faction gains the ascendancy. Arthur and
his faction were innocent of the death of
Garfield, but had there been no party fight
than death would never have occurred.
That fight was fight for the spoils; it had
no great principle in view; no subject
worth the attention of men in discussing.
1t was simply who should hold the offices.
Guiteau was only a spokesman; dfsap-
pointed ONCE Seekcf-a man WHO IGl Icu
on services to party for a living, and
performed these services simply for tn e
sake of the reward. He regarded his fail
ure to secure the reward as a C onmon
complaint with the rest of his faction, and
thought that il the President was dead,
that his faction could capture It. Hence
his crime. That q Stalwart is now Presi-
dent win increase greatly the numbers OF
the stalwarts is undoubted. lie roa est
mort UiCa Le rot, has been and always will
be popular cry, and the politicians will
flock to the standard of the present king.
The men who helped to defeat Conkling
because his opponent held the Custom
House, viii now fight for Conkling since
his friend is President. The man who
was a half breed, because in that faction
he saw the most dollars and cents, will
now be stalwart because there he now
sees hope of gain. This, of course, is
not true of the entire faction on either side
but it is true of the politicians, the leaders;
the men who hold the offices. This STAN
pede from one faction to the other is the
political change which President Gartields
death will cause 1t will be stampede
worth noting, as it will show how much
principle underlies it all.

The New York World gives to General
Burnside a tribute which at first sight may
seem sighting, but which careful study
viii show to be a high an eneonium as can
be well bestowed 1t says:
The late General Burnside was neither
great soldier nor an eminent statesman,
but when during the war hewas thrust into
a position too important for him to fill he
frankly begged to be removed; and when
in the Senate he was the only member of
the Republican party who had the courage
and patriotism to make to make stand
against the employment of troops at the
polls. While pseudo-statesmen and pa
troits under the party whip affirmed a
doctrine which they did not believe, the
only conspicuous Union soldier in the Sen
ate declared for the supremacy of the civil
power"
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-09-20

The death of Senator Burnside, coupled
with that of President Garfield, will
change entirely the political complexion OF
the senate The democrats will now have
control of that body, and the price paid for
Mahone's vote will prove a costly one. A
democratic president pro tenn. will be chos-
en-, and senate officers will be elected IN
accordance with the will of the majority.
The two lately elected senator's from New
York, and the republican who will be nam
ed in Burnside's place, will have no voice
in this, as their candidates cannot be receiv-
ed until the senate is organized. Then the
senate will be republican as the president
pro tenn. can only cast his vote in case of a
tie, and the selection of democrat for
that position will leave the republicans a
majority of one.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-09-20

Elk Senator Conkling has reasserted is
power in his native place and has con-
trolled the primaries at Utica.
For some time past the half breed pap
ers have been asserting that the republi
cans of Utica and Oneida County were
nearly unanimous against ex-senator Con-
king. They insisted that he could not
be elected delegate to the State Conven-
ton from his county, and talked about the
probability of his being elected from some
other section. The primaries have been
held in Utica and Rome, the two cities in
Oneida County. In the latter the Conk-
ling stalwarts carried three out of the five
wards, and in Utica where the Senator
resides, the stalwarts carried seven wards,
the half breeds four, and in the other there
was row between the two factions end
ing in bolt, by way of demonstrating the
claim of the Tribune that there is perfect
harmony in the party. This does not look
as though the ex-senator were dead. 1t
appears to be settled that he is to head the
delegation from Oneida to the State Con
vention, having defeated the half -breed
leaders there, e. FL. Roberts and S. s.
Lowery, in their own wards. The stall
wart programme now appears to be fol
Conkling to head the delegation from
Oneida, Thomas G. Plat from Tioga an6
General Grant frem the CITY, 1t is not
yet decided whether they will permit Dor
sey to be delegate or not, but Mr.. smytl
is slated from Albany. While the stal
warts are at work carrying out these
schemes, Secretary Window is holding
Collector Robertson's hands and prevent
ing him from doing anything to help thu
half-breeds. The Custom-house is nc
more of factor in controlling delegates
than it was under Merritt and Hayes

doubt that the opportunity is now open
to Democrats to change materially the
complexion u the Legislature and make a
hole in the Republican majority in the
State, which viii be a surprise for the
present and a stepping store for the fu-
ture. IN view OF this the action OF the
Democrats in deciding not to make can
vass, and the hesitancy of the Republi.
canson the same subject is noteworthy.

thus states the present situation in New
York, as concerns Mr. Conkling and his
prospects
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA half breed
republican who, through his intimate rela-
lions with the Administration, is supposed
| to reflect the feeling in that quarter. was
asked what view he took of republican pol
| itics in New York.
'tIn the first place" said he, 1.-The New
| York Custom House might be called dry
| well They beat Confhng in the Robert
| son fight by pledging in advance what the
we'll was expected to produce. In other
words, enough Custom House and other
/ offices were promised to turn the scale
against Conkling. Scarcely promise has
been redeemed. The consequence is that
/ those who were relied on to keep up the
fight on Conkling are either cold or dis
gusted.
There are d number of reasons for the
failure to redeem these promises. There
/ are two principal ones, however. Robert
son was rendered powerless to do anything
| in the way Of rewards and punishrnents
! In the first place, Window gave him posi-
| tive instructions against running the office
as political machine, because, as we
suspect, the secretary IS Ut nearL 0OfA-
ling man, and was provoked by Merritt's
removal Be that as it may, though l
think this view is the true one, Robertson
was tied hand and foot by the Secretary,
and the President probably thought it
would be good thing to have matters for
while so that way as concession to the
defeated. So Robertson was advised by
Blaine TO go home and let things drift on
while, during which time he could make
up his mind what ought to be done--what
promises to keep and what not, for there
could be no keeping them at sil-and at
the right time Ire would have word to go
ahead. Four days after Garfield was shot
and the thing has been tied up ever since.
1t has been just as well for Conkling as
though Merritt had not been removed.
Did Robertson try to have his instruc
tons changed when he was at Long
Branch the other day?'
'fThat was what he came for, but he
did not succeed. Window thought the
revenue was being faithfully collected, and
as that was all that was expected Of the
Collector he told Robertson he had better
leave politics to the politicians. In fact,
the Secretary repeated his Instructions, and
as the President could not be approached,
the collector went back not so certain that
Conkling would not be stronger than ever
in the next Convention. Its my opinion
said the speaker, that if he is not for
anything the Custom House will do
