Hayes Tries to Settle Old Scores
AND ACCUSES CONKLING OF LONG
CONTINUED TREACHERY TO THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.

CLEVELAND, O., June 1.-The Herald pub
fishes an interview with ex-President Hayes,
in which he says: "CoDkling is monomaniac
on the subject OF his own Importance. The
men who do his bidding Conkling considers in
state of Subsection to him, and those who
refuse to obey his dictates he considers
his most bitter enemies. Cenkling's down.
ward tendency dates from 1875 He then
tried in every way possible to defeat the Re-
publican party in New York. Gov. Morgan,
candidate for Governor in New York tn at year,
was well satisfied that Conkling did all in his
power to defeat him. Conking made three
attempts to betray the Republican party This
was one of them. The next was concerning
the electoral commission. He had speech al
ready prepared to overthrow the action of the
commission relative to the returns from Louis-
ana. Senator Morton discovered his plan and
succeeded in defeating it. There never would
have been a Potter investigation committee
but for Conkling. The Democrats were 10th
to go into it, and only did so at the earnest
solicitation OF ConFling. 1 will not say he
falsitied in this case, for I think he really be-
lieved men on the Louisiana board had entered
into bargain for the sale of that State, and
ConkliLg assured the Southern Senators
would from very shame leave the White House
thirty days after the Investigation began.'

The Democrats Charged with Selling
Out.
NEW YORK, June 1.-The Brooklyn Eagle
editorially calls attention to the fact that over
so votes were cast at Albany for State Senator
Jacobs, that the half-breeds can cast 70 votes
and the stalwarts Is. The Eagle states that
the Constitution of the State declares that
votes cast for any member of the Legislature
are void and quotes the decision of the Court
of Appeals in the case of Furman VS.. Harri-
son in support thereof. The Eagle says the
half-bEeeds are not yet agreed upon candidates.
AS soon as they do they will be able to cast 70
votes for them. Seventy votes would not be
majority of all votes cast; but suppose it
should be claimed and decided that so votes
for Jacobs are absolutely void; then the half
breeds candidate would have a majority of all
votes cast and he would be elected by Demo
cratic votes just as much as if the Democrats
had voted directly for the half-breed's candi-
date. 1t is hard to believe that deliberate
conspiracy has been entered into by the Demo-
their party to the administration faction, but
it is quite as difficult to believe that the Demo
cratic leaders would take tho chances they are
nov taking without any adequate motive.
Either of these conclusions is inevitable. Only
this is clear that if the Democracy of this
state is to be sold ont in the face of what we
have written, the parties to the transaction will
not be able to claim they only Numbered into
doing it.

Speculations Concerning the Nomina-

RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-Ali trains bring
large instalments of delegates to the Readjus-
ters' Convention, which meets tomorrow, and
the indications are that all sections of the
State will be fully represented The number of
delegates and alternates now in the city are
estimated at about 500. Col. VIM. e. Came
ron, of Petersburg, is the strongest man in the
race for the Gubernatorial nomination, but
closely pushed by State Auditor Massey
Neither, however, has sufficient following to
ensure tho nomination on the first ballot, and
the prospects are that unless combination
ia kes place none of those now in the field will
be chosen, but that a dark horse will be
brought out who will win.
