Senator Conkling has determined
upon relentless war against Robertson
and against the Administration. sHe
holds Secretary Blaine responsible for
the nomination. Conkling expects to be
defeated, and realizes that Robertson
will be confirmed, but says there is q
principle involved and be would make
the fight if he knew he were the only
senator who would vete against Robert
son. 1t is said COnkling will not wait
for an executive session to proclaim his
position and antag1nize the Administra-
ton, but will take an opportunity in
open session, go that mis- position
will be put before the country
correctly and not misrepresented
as might be if hetslked in the executive
session. Conking holds that it is his duty
to oppose Robertson; that his confir-
nation wou be step towards disorgan-
izing the present republican organization
in New York, and that Robertson's
OF the collectors office |
would disrupt the party and cause its |
d. feat in New York. Conkling feels |
that it is his duty TO protect and |
the present republican organi- |
cation, which has Won victory after |
victory in New York, that there is
no division of republican senators |
in regard to federal appointments; they |
asked for no special appointments, but |
that the President gave them to under |
stand hat no Objectionable men would |
be appointed. Conklirg further holds |
hat though he will ro5ably be beaten |
in this first contest, the fight will go out
side The Senste chamber; that if Blaine /
be permitted to take charge of the New
York republican party and appoint
nents, he and his supporters may run in
1884 and elect the republican ticket
hen, if they can, it is positively asserted
hat ten democratic senators will vote
with Conkling. 1t is generally admitted
hat Robertson will be confirmed.
