GEN. GRANT IN POLITICS.

He Reiterates His Opinion In Favor Of Conk.
ling and Talks about a New Party.
From an Interview in Chicago.
Senator Conkling did more than any one man
to elect Gen. Garfield and gain victory for the
republican party. Tho move Of appointing
Robertson and making an attack upon Conk
ling was not only ill advised, but was accom-
panied by such apparent evidence of intention
al assault that Conkling conld do nothing else
but light and finally appeal to bis constituents
to susta in him against the wrong Tho senate
should have stood by him to man, and it was
entirely foreign to the Office Of the president to
use influences to defeat him there The plan
OF withdrawing all other nominations until the
Objectionable one was confirmed, was an unfair
way Of using executive influences and was TAX
ing an eminently unfair advantage, There
can be but little question that the secretary Of
state IS responsible, in great degree. for the
difficulty: Even if he favored the appointment
OF Robertson, it should not have been made:
Tor, IN oblecting, Conkling had the right Of
acting as president, if a single senator from
any state objected to an appointment, it was
not made, although some cabinet officer might
have favored it. I do not believe that Secre.
tary Window, III whose department the appoint
ment OF Robertson comes, favored his conir-
q
state like New York.
The administration seems to have captured
good many new spapers, but believe pnbiic
sentiment to be mainly on the side of Conkline
and flatt. Since my return every republican,
have met, with one exception, has held that
the senator's should Re sustained and that the
fight against them is unjust and hurtful to the
best interests of the party
There are apparent indications of break-nn
OF the oid parties The feeling is quite pro-
nounced in the south, where the business ele-
ment and the better class of people in general
arc de slrous OF seeing the soldity OF that sec-
tlon destroyed: new party with good lead
t' s:s' sound principles and platform to suit
tue times would be popular and receive a heavv
following not only in the south but in the NORTH
as Well where there is great deal of dissatis
faction in the ranks of both parties. The dem
ocrats see hopeful signs in the growing diys-
IONS IONS IN tho republican party and will undoubt
cay try to keep up their organization in order
to be prepared to take advantage Of a break in
