The New York Times which was in
clined to support Mr., Conkling in his
contest with the President gives him the
cold shoulder since his resignation. In
Thurday's issue it says; 1.-The best service
the ex -Senators can do the republican par
ty is to insist that their withdrawal from
the Senate was seriously meant. and
to decline any reelection. In that
way they may put an end to a
contest in which they can hope for
no higher or better success than that
of dividing the republican party and con-
tributing to the success of the democrats.
But II this is not their intention, and they
propose to force upon the Legislature the
question Of sustaining the course they
have seen fit to adopt. then it behooves
the republican members of that body to
consider seriously what the highest inter,
ests of the party demand. The response
bility Of promoting party division on such
an ignoble issue or of discarding the
claims upon which the contest is waged
will rest upon them. They are to con
slider whether in this State and in the
country at large the party will lose more
by having two of its dissatisfied leaders
relegated to private life or by giving dig
nifty and Importance to their grievances
and pretensions and making them a cause
Of division and dissension throughout the
national organization by means of Al
aggressive antagonism with the Admins
tration."

The more this question is considered the

conceit, vanity, and childish abandonment
of his position. are either silent or openly
advise him not to be 4 candidate for cleo
ton.
Mr.. Conkling's resignation was suici-
dial act. It was fatal confession Of
weakness. 1t was an announcement that
he had no influence with the President or
the Senate, and that the support OF the
Star Route swindlers and the hireling
press of New York was making no I'M
preston in his favor. but rather the re-
verse. When he left his seat in the Sem

him power He may have had the hope
Of being returned again by the legislature
of New York, but that was conjecture
mostlv-a very unsafe basis to build up
on.
As the question OF MIR. Conklings
election to the Senate is now presented to
the legislature of New York, it is not sim
DIV a question as to fitness to fill such
position, but whether the legislature
will espouse Mr. Conkling's unwise quar-
rel with the President, and send him back
to the Senate to prolOng and intensity
the fight with the administration and put
the State at variance with the President
and outside of any claim to his favor.
Even men personally friendly to Conkling
cannot but be staggered at the dilemma
in which they are involved by his course,
and common prudence would make them
hesitate before giving their consent to his
election under the present circumstances.
The election will take place on the 3lst.

does that or not his election is an impos-
sbility, and his candidacy. if he takes
that position. will only serve. it may be,
to create deadlock and prevent the cleo
ton OF any other republican. Some re-
publicans are so confident of the power of
the opposition to him that they assert that
if he allows his name to be used he can
not control voters enough to defeat the
election of republican senators. and judg-
ing by the manifestation of public feeling
against him there is very good reason for
believing that this may be correct
