The Tribune says lone Of the most
cowardly features Of the contest over
Robertson is the persistency with which
Mr. Conkling's friends have sought to
charge Secretary Blaine with the respon-
sibilitv for the appointment. The Presi-
dent has said to more than twenty Sena-
tors that Mr.. Blaine had nothing to do
with the matter. and did not even know OF
it until it was accomplished. Will any
man please tell us why Mr.. Conklius and
his friends desire TO shirk and evade the
real contest with the President. and get
up fictitious side issue with one of the
Cabinet What is the motive ?''

What Senator Hale Saws.

A despatch to the Boston Traveller from
Manchester, n. II. dated the 18th says.
Senator Hale, of Maine, who is here at.
tending the deathbed of the late Senator Zach
Chambers only surviving sister, was asked
by your correspondent to express his views
on the resignation of Senators Conkling and
Platt He replied that it certainly would not
have the desired effect of inducing the ad.
ministration to back down.
The New York Senators simply failed 10
realize that the New York custom house was
a national Office, of equal inheritance with a
Cabinet office, and that the President has the
right to have it occupied by man who, while
being capable and fit, was also his politi.
cal friend. "Even supposing,'' said Mr..
Hale THAT they the New York legislature
shall reflect Msssrs. Conkling and Plat. and
add to that resolution endorsing their action.
that would not change the matter. nor affect
the strength of the Presidents position. II
would simply be the declaration ofthe majority
of the New York legislature that in their
opinion the New York custom house is the
private perquisite of the two State Senators.
That would not make il so. The country ia

The Providence Press says; Senator
Conkling is reported to have said in the
conference last week that the confirmation
OF Robertson would cause the defeat of the
republican party in New York. next fall.
Let us see what such declaration from
Mr.. Conkling means. The party in New
York is made up of two elements-the
followers of the senator and these who are
opposed To his primacy. When both OF
these divisions join heartily in a campaign
they generally carry the State. The tri-
umph of Robertson would certainly
encourage the anti-Conkling men. and
incite them to greater efforts than usual.
If, therefore. any Republicans are luke
warm, or refuse to do their duty. next
fall. they will be the personal followers
of Mr.. Conkling. Does the senator mean
to say that his friends will refuse to sup
port the republican ticket, next fall,
because some one he does not like is

vet that is Just what he does say in effect y

Political Notes.

1t is thought that final adjournment of the
Senate will take place this week.
Hon. VIM. Z. Chandler will probable fail
of confirmation at this session.
Gov. Cornell is known to be opposed to
Conkling's attitude of hostility to the Ad-
ministration.
Conkling's resignation gave the demo Gratis
majority in the Senate.
There are good many who think it is very
possible that Mr.. Conking will not be able
to secure return to the Senate.
new explanation has been discovered for
ex-senator Conkling's resignation. Persons
familiar with New York politics say the real
purpose is that Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. Plat,
may swap senatorial terms; that Conking
shall be reelected to the long term upon
which Mr.. Plat has just entered, while Mr..
Plat will content himself with being re-
elected to fill the remainder of Conkiine's
term.
The New York Senate has % republicans
and democrats. The House has 81 repub-
licans, A. democrats and some scattering
greeback votes. There are one hundred and
six republicans in both branches. In the
Senate there are at least 30 Senators who are
anti-Conkling, and that they are radical anti
Conkling is shown by their action in adiurn
ing yesterday before receiving the notice of
the resignation, thus postponing Conkling s
election for another week. The republicans
do not nominate in joint caucus. Each hou. e
holds separate caucus. and then they vote in
joint caucus. In the Houae there are at least
20 authorizing men; 81 votes are necessary
to elect. COnkling has but five votes in the
Senate, and he must secure seventy-six of Il 9
81 republican votes in the lower house to
make his election the caucus nominee GER
tain. If the Robertson republicans are as
resolute as they are presumed to be, Mr.
Conkling has poor show for reelection.

Augusta. Thursday Morning, May H.


MIR. Conkling and his adherents ex-
press great deal Of concern for the safe
ty Of the republican party. They are
troubled lest the difficulties attending the
case of Mr.. Robertson create division
which cannot be healed. This is the most
silly kind Of talk. There is no danger to
the party except what they themselves
create. And even with what they can do
the storm will not be very severe. Mr..
Conkling may make a disturbance that
will he unpleasant for a brief space OF
time, but the most he can do will be to
separate himself and few followers from
the republican party, and perhaps give the
democrats the ascendency in New York
little while.
The republican party is not made up OF
Mr.. Conkling's vassals. The days have
long since gone by when petty lords
owned the people, obliging them to wear
a collar with the name Of their master
stamped upon it. and compelling them to
do the most servile acts. The republican
party is composed Of men who read and
think for themselves. and when any man
whom they have regarded as leader
takes wrong direction they will aban-
don him and leave him to his own destruc-
ton. This is not the first time Mr.. COnk-
ling has sulked because thing did not 90
10 please him. But the party has gone
along without him when he acted the part
OF a mule, and in his best days and best
mood he has never been very powerful
and effective worker If Mr.. COnkling
were as necessary to the republican party
as he thinks he is he would be a tremen-
dous loss but the party has lost greater
and better men than Mr.. Conkling and
gone right along and scarcely missed
them.
If Mr.. Conkling was in the right in the
DISPUTE he has raised with the President.
he would have some following, but being
wrong he will have none but few time
servers and dazed' adherents to wear his
colors. Should the legislature OF New
York send him back to the Senate his case
will not be improved. If he keeps up his
quarrel with the President it will be bad
TOR him, rs Stephenson said it would be
for COW which might get in the path of a
locomotive, but the administration will
continue on its way undisturbed, and will
be sustained or despised by the people
not at the estimate Mr.. Conkling may pnt
upon it-but according to the success or
failure which attends it in administering
the affairs of the government.
II Mr.. Conkling's friends sincerely be-
lieve that his detection will endanger the
republican party. and they as sincerely
deprecate such a result. the best they can
do TO prevent such state of things would
he to keep the rate Senator at home till
his passion cools. and teach him that there
are other men IN this world besides him.
and that he must respect the rights and
feelings OF others if he would have his re-
yarsled by them
