The Overthrow Complete.

Mr. Coukling can no longer be regarded
as the leader of the Republican party in
New York The supremacy Of the Garfield
Republicans, over the Conkling wing of the
party, was apparent before the Convention
met in New York city last week. Notwith-
standing the great efforts made by Mr..
Conkling and his followers TO secure a ma
iority Of the delegates, the people were too
strong for him and his power is no longer
supreme While many staunch Republicans
had wearied Of his leadership, it was his
own act that enabled them to overthrow
him. Up to the time he resigned his seat in
the Senate. and thereby turned tina, body
over TO the Democracy, nothing could stand
against him in his own State. 1t is COM
mon knowledge that be expected the Legis-
lature TO re-elect him and thus endorse has
position of antagonism to the President.
This. the Legislature refused TO do. and its
action has now been endorsed by the party
throughout the State. Mr. Conkling is no
longer a popular favorite. The party has
shown itself loyal to the Government and
above individuals. 1t is in accord with the
party IN other States

His Last Letter.

The fac-simile of the last letter writ
ten by President Garfield, which We
give to our readers this week, is Of Pc
culiar interest at this time. The fact
that it was written to his mother makes
il the more touching as a souvenir Of a
man who is mourned as few have ever
been.
The evident effort made TO quiet the
terrible anxiety Of his loving mother
will touch a tender chord in every SYM
pathetic heart
To that poor old mother, who could
only look upon him as her baby. how
extremely precious must the letter be.
As it is the only letter written by our
martyred President, since his assassin
alton, it possesses an historical value
and is one Of the most appropriate me
mentoes of that tragic event
No pains was spared to make the re
production perfect in every word and
Litter.

disastrous effect on the apple crop. The

main on the trees till the frost came out.

has recently been framed in antique bronze,
very fitting surrounding. The following

The Lewiston Journal says the straight
greenbaek convention, held in Lewiston
week before last, has caused considerable
stir among the trading greenbaekers who
want to make the greenback party tender
to the democracy. Scion Chase, the founder
of the greenback party in Maine, is regarded
as the chief obstacle to the traders plans
and it has been decided to crush him. Ae-
cordingly, it is announced that there ~ill be
a meeting of the stockholders Of the Chase
Inquirer newspaper as soon as Scion returns
from the West, when he will be formally de-
posed from the editorship of the paper, and
some man put in who viii favor fusion. The
Portland Ners (greenback,) which also OPP
poses selling out, says that measures are to
be taken to crush that paper by resuscitating
Fogg's Chronicle at Portland. The Ners
says the programme of the traders is to sell
out the greenback party; that it knows all
the details Of the plot; and that when the
greenback masses understand that "they are
In the hands of traitors and the dupes Of
