SENATOR CONKLING made q lengthy
speech before the Republican Senatorial
Caucus held on the 9th, in which he pre-
scented with great force and perspicuity his
reasons for opposing the confirmation OF
Judge Robertson as Collector Of the Port of
New York. He showed that Robertson had
been, and still continued to be, an agrees
sive foe to him and his friends, and declared
that he had worked the disruption of his
party at home as he was dividing it nation
ally. He (Conkling) was uncompromisingly
opposed to Robertson for any Federal office,
as Robertson was personally opposed to
him. In regard to his personal relations
with Mr.. Garfield, Mr.. Conkling alleged
that the President had made him certain
pledges. He had trusted In them and he
had been deceived in the most inexcusable
manner. When Mr.. Conkling had closed
his remarks, Mr.. Hawley rose, and in tenn
perate but earnest speech defended the
President. The caucus adjourned without
action. At subsequent meeting held on
the 10th, while the gravity of the situation
was generally admitted, and q desire to har.
monize matters expressed, the caucus was
SO evenly divided it was deemed unwise to
force vote, and further adjournment was
agreed to-
