Ot
Conkhng telegraphed again to his friends
last night that he would not attend the
State Convention, and would not be in the
city. The stalwarts and half-breeds alike
talk Of peace and harmony. and all the
political prophets about the Fifth Avenue
Hotel predicted a short and quiet conven-
ton. Even the stanchest stalwarts con-
ceded that the half breeds would have a
majority in the convention ranging any
where from 40 to so, the latter figures be-
ing the half-breeds claim. The impress
sion prevailed that the movement for
harmony was largely the work of Arthur.
ThurIOw Weeds Opinions.
New YoRK, Oct. 5.-The Tribune has
interviewed Thurlow Weed. He says there
will be two planks in the platform, one of
which will express a warm regret for the
death of a President in whose wisdom and
patriotism the party had confidence, and
the other will transfer that confidence to
President Arthur, who will have the cordial
support of Conkling's opponents, and
after q long aud violent fight the factions
will be friends again.
But, Mr.. Weed, does not this presuppose
a change of heart somewhere?
Certainly; and we are prepared for 1t.
That is the result of Garfield's so days Of
suffering. Our minds have been anxious
and troubled for so long that we are pre-
pared to make a sacrifice of feeling and
prejudice. l think both factions Of the
party are prepared now to do what is
essential to the common welfare. Gen.
Garfield's example and suffering are work
ing even now beneicially, while we are all
prepared to be better Republicans and
citizens. President Arthur is better pre-
pared for the responsibilities that have
come upon him. He has told me that he
thinks this a favorable moment for re-
forming abuses and correcting errors, and
important changes will follow in the man
agement Of State politics. / trust there
will be reform. The machine has been
the disturbing element in this city. 1t is
evident that the coterie who have hereto
fore controlled all the nominations in this
city must now make a concession to the
independent Republicans.
How does President Arthur stand to-
ward the c~onvention2
/ know of no man who has been more
anxious, and so far as was proper has
expressed his views, than Arthur for har-
monious action by this convention. He
hopes that no persons ambition will be
permitted to disturb the deliberations.
The President did not come here for any
political purpose whatever, nor has he in
any way interfered or attempted to inter-
fere with the action of the convention
than to advise both factions to
harmonic.
Eek .GOvernOr Moses Arrested for
Swindling.
New YORK, Oct. ~5.-Franklin ]. Moses,
for merly Governor Of South Carolina. was
locked up yesterday on the charge OF
.swindling W. L. Hall, a retired hotel
keeper. out Of s25. He secured that
trifing amount by agreeing to secure some
property stolen from Hall, if 1t were paid
him. He wanted to compromise by pay
ing it back, but Hall refused it and will
prosecute him. The Times says Moses
plan, as unfolded to Hall, was to 60 to
Jefferson Market with his new partner and
procure q search warrant from Justice
Morgan. With this process the property
could be seized, and they would be forced
to make a settlement. The confding Ma
jor Hall fell into the trap and agreed to
everything, and handed Moses $40. Just
as Moses was about to leave he called the
Major aside and asked him il he was q
Free Mason. Major Hall said he was, and
Moses gripped him. Then he said, insin-
uatingly, "Major, now that we know each
other as brothers, let me have S. more? "
The money was added to the $40, and
Moses disappeared, only to return as a de-
swindler. Moses looked very gray
and shabby. Inspector Byrnes put q stop
to the negotiations for a settlement Of the
case. Ex-Governor Moses was arraigned
on a further complaint Of fraud
brought against him by John D. Town

gests as a token Of the national friendly

binary honors at Yorktown. Let it be
