EXEUNT CONKLING.

The telegraph has given the news
that Conklings's coup de theatre has
ended. He is badly left. After a
stubborn fight by some three dozen
of his faithful admirers, the admins
tration men finally gained the victo-
ry by electing Mr.. Lapham in his
stead. The lordly Roscoe missed his
calculations and now lies a dicom-
flied giant.
Upon the receipt of the "bad news"
Conllling issued his farewell address,
which reads as follows.
New YORK, July %, 1891,
To Hon. James Armstrong, Mcnber of the As.
sembly Albany:
The heroic consistency of the Spar
tan band, which has so long stood for
principle and truth, has my deepest
gratitude and admiration. Borne
down by forbidden and abhorent
forces and agencies, which never be-
fore had sway in the Republican par
ty, in memory their courage will long
live in the highest honor. The neal
future will vindicate their wisdom
and crown them with approval
Please ask them all for me to receive
my most grateful acknowledgements
