that Frank Hiscock, OF New York, who
aspires TO the Sponsorship, although al
ways an anti-Conkling republican, be-
came convinced that Conklings's aid was
necessary TO secure his posision. He
ca led Ga Conkling ia the Sc ale yester-
day Of ernoon, and had long talk on the
subject. Gonk ing rec lived his VISITOR
with more than his u usl haughtiness,
raised has form TO Us full height, as he
looked Hiscock In the face, and declined
after the fashion of proud political
potentate who does not lightly grant
favors I'd men who have been lack
ing in per olal loyalty. Hiseock
began bluntly saying he wanted
Conkling's support in his canvass for
the .peskership, frankly saying he did
not believe be could succeed without his
help. He understood the full value OF
the service be was asking, and subscribed
fully to Whatever reasonable terms might
be demanded for the alliance. SAID
Oonkling, slowly and impressiyely:
mr.. HiscOeks you ask me tor my sup
port for the sUeskership. Now, my dear

Hiscock took this lecture very quietly,
and then asked IN quiet fashion what
sort of pledge ConklinH would require
firm HIM upon the question OF
personal loyalty Conkling replied In a
suH more emphatic manner: at is a
subject that will lake some time for me TO

God, If you were my own father or my |

ADVANCE exactly how you stood upon one |

that you are loyal to the stalwsrt element |

By God sir" said Mr.. Conkling with in
creased ire and energy, there is going

C0nkling's talk to hiscock was plainly |
by the latter to be demand |
for his personal allegiance to ,onklirE

direct. There is little doubt that he will |
accept the conditions and through his
new al eg ance he strsightway becomes
one of the most formidable of contestants
for the speakership OF the next HOUSE.
