merely as deduction from the plain
analysis of the political forces which
have been at work in the country for
five years past. and which have been
significantly shown in the two great
national conventions.
I accept it as one of the happiest cir
cumstances connected with this affair,
that in allying my political fortunes
with yours, or rather for q time merg-
ing mine in yours, my heart goes with
my head, and that carry to you not
only political support but personal and
devoted friendship. I can but regard
it as somewhat remarkable that two
men of the same age, entering congress
at same time. Influenced by the same
aims, and cherishing the same ambitions,
should never for a single moment in
eighteen years of close intimacy have
had a misunderstanding or GOODNESS,
and that our friendship had steadily
grown with our growth, and strength
ened with our strength. 1t is this fact
which has led me to the conclusion en-
embodied in this letter. for however
much. my dear Garfield, might ad-
mire you as a statesman, would not
enter your cabinet If did not believe
in you as man, and love you as a
friend. x8Hl
Always faithfully yours,

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-The Press to-
morrow will publish the letter Of Secre-
tary Blaine, accepting the tender Of the
state department made him by the late
President Garfield:
Washington, Dec. 20, 'sO.-My Dear
Garfield: Your generous invitation to
enter your cabinet as secretary of state,
has been under consideration for more
than three weeks. Though it had really
never occurred to my mind until at our
late conference you presented it with
such cogent arguments in its favor and
with such warmth of personal friend
ship in aid of your kind offer. / know
that an early answer is desirable, and ]
have waited only long enough to CON
slider the subject in all its bearings and
to make up. my mind definitely and
conseientiously. 1 now say to you in
the same cordial spirit in which you
have invited me, that accept the posA
ition. 1t is no affectation for me to
add, that I make this decision not for
the honor or promotion it gives me ip
the service, but because l think
can be useful to the country and
to the party; useful to you as
the responsible leader of the party
and the great head Of the government.
am influenced somewhat perhaps by
the shower of letters have received
urging me to accept, written me in
consequence Of mere unauthorized
newspaper report that you had been
pleased to offer me the place. While
have received these letters from all Sec
tions, have been especially pleased
and even surprised at the cordial and
widely extended feeling in my favor
throughout New England, where ! had
expected to encounter local jealousy,
and, perhaps, rival aspiration.
In our new relation. shall give all
that I am and all that hope to be,
freely and joyfully to your service. You
need no pledge Of my loyalty in heart
and in act; I should be false to myself
did 1 not prove true both to the great
trust you confide to me and to your
own personal and political fortunes In
the present and future. Your admins
tration must be made eminently sue
cessful and strong in the confidence and
pride Of the people; not at all directing
its energies for reelection, and yet COM
pelling that result by the logic Of events
and by the imperious necessities of the
situation. To that most desirable con-
summation feel that, next to yourself,
can possibly contribute as much in
fuence as any other man. / say this
not from egotism or vain glory, but

what Is said OF II.

New York, Oct. 6.-The 1riJ.m
saws: For the first time in many year
the republican opinion of New Yorl
has found an expression in the stats
convention; 106 was the majority before
which the Conkling machine went tG
the wall yesterday. If the voice of the
republicans OF the cities had not been
stifled by district associations. and
had found as free expression as did that
OF their brethren in the rural districts
the convention would have been almost
unanimous. The ticket nominated is
made up of good material throughout
is well distributed geographically. and
is representative of both wings OF the
party.
The Times says: The convention yes
terday may be justly called a reform
convention. 1t leaves the party In
healthy and vigorous condition, There
Is no doubt that the action of the con-
vention in breaking with the customs
which has given state conventions here
totore SO large an influence over the
formal action of the party, will be gen
orally approved. The candid and kind
ly tone which pervaded the convention
with reference to the south, is an indI-
cation that it will require even more
than the usual democratic futility to
make a purely sectional issue again very
prominent.
The Herald says: The republican
convention turned out to be rs the
Herald predicted, a very moderate,
conservative, tame affair. The oppo-
nents OF Conkling carried the organiza-
tion, but seems to have used their
power with dignity and reserve.
Whether the harmony will last is
another question; but the anRsthetic
influence of Arthur as president will
not be lost upon the republican con-
vention even in the angry, jangling and
wrangling in New York. OF the can
didates it is too soon to speak.
The Sun says: From the first to the
last and along the whole line, the stall
warts were routed, and it was evident
at the evening session how they felt it;
they were sullen; they were in a state
Of mind that is dangerous to the fac
tion-ridden party, and that is not likely
to be less dangerous at the time of the
election. All
The World says: The victory Of the
half-breeds in the convention simply
binds the stalwarts to beat the republi-
can ticket In the election. The nomi-
nations make up q neat and complete
step-ladder and transom ticket. 1t Is
tolerably clear that the delegates who
nominated such ticket did It with
confideace and well grounded expecta-
tion Of its defeat. #s

yew York RepubIIeans.

The republican state convention in
its session passed the routine resolu.
tions and inspired several able party
eulogiee. however. when it came To
the business of the session the stalwarts
were forced to the wall.
Morey, of Livingston county, offered
the following preamble and resolution,
and they were referred to the commit

Whereas, The republican party

platforms will be as the presidents Is
message is, irrevocably committed to

will from the present indications find
others to agree with him. But the ma
jority vote win probably control the
caucus. E
The disposition in both parties is to
avoid any contest, grows more apparent
as the time for the decision Of the
question approaches, and it is not i'm
probale that. the basis for the unani-
nous Organization Of the senate may be
reached. 1t seems to be pretty well un-
derstood that Postmaster Generl James
viii remain in his present position, as it
is the desire Of President Arthur. but
he viii not stay any longer than is re-
quired to wind up the star route prose-
cutions. When these case shall have
been disposed of. he will retire at his
own request, as an important position
OF higher pay awaits his command in
New York.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-The Ledger's
New York special states positively that
the president has offered Conkling the
post Of secretary Of the treasury and he
has accepted it with the understanding
that he will enter upon the duties of
the Office when the regular session COM
mences. When the inside history Of
jones' recent hasty errand to Utica,
and the presidents subsequent visit to
New York comes to be written, it will
be found that it was to perfect this ar
rongement by which Conkling has been
kept away from the convention.

Boston, Oct. 6.-The Herald's WASH
ington special says: President Arthur
has not been helped at all in his cabinet
arrangements by the development of
the overwhelming anti-Conkling senti-
ment- in NewYork. 1t is fact that the
defeat of the Conkling men in New
York operates as a break on all of the
stalwart plans for stalwart cabinet.
Grants influence with Arthur Is also
affected by the strong anti-Conkling
sentiment of the republicans of New
York. Arthur hardly knows what to
do. and there is good reason to believe
that no cabinet slate has yet been ar
ranged.

PRESIDENCY OF THE SENATE.

some Democratic IDEAS OF the Matter
Washington, Oct. Q. The democratic
senator's will meet in conference at Sem
ator Pendleton's residence tomorrow
evening, to discuss the organization Of
the senate. Pendleton is chairman Of
the democratic caucus, and he thinks
that by tomorrow night at least thirty
democratic senators will be here.
While most Of the democrats declare
unequivocally in favor of their electing
president Of the senate before swear
ing in the new senators, q few hesitate,
and think the step ought to be carefully
considered before taking It. Some Of
the democrats say that they are in
favor of electing president and secre-
tary before swearing in the new sena--
tors, but this does not seem to be the
prevailing sentiment. There are sew
eral democratic senators who privately
admit that they think the best policy
would be to concede the president to
the republicans, but those who think
thus realize that they antagonize the
maj ority Of the sentiment of their par
ty, and therefore they are not willing
to be publicly quoted as holding this
opinion. s..
A prominent southern senator said
to-day to q western associated press
agent: 'If we take this step and elect
apresident of the senate. it will give
the republican press an opportunity to
raise the question Of sectionalism again,
and they will take advantage of it.
They will say that the temporary ma
1ority of thelsenate has, dominated by
the south, seized this Office in hopes Of
getting control Of the government in
the event of the death, Of President
Arthur. I do not mean that any re-
spectacle portion of the republican
press will suggest that the democratic
party. or any member Of it, would
assassinate Arthur to get the presiden
cy OF the United States. This idea has
been advanced as an argument against
the election Of a democrat, but itj ia
