His business has brought him in acquaintance with

Although in all cases of great political
excitement there are rumors af1oat
which have no foundation in truth, and
party politicians who attribute to each
other acts and motives less worthy than
their cooler judgments would venture
to indorse, yet al the present j%uncture,
more than at any recent previous period,
We perceive indications Of u blind hos
tility between the leaders Of the two
wings of the disrupted republican party,
aud which must result fatally unless it
gives way to a spirit of mutual conce
sion and forbearance.
In the state of New York, especially,
there are issues the most serious pend
ing, and during their allegiance all eyes
are turned, from time to time, toward
the prominent statesman whose portrait
we present herewith to our readers.
And as there are probably some who are
not full acquainted with the salient
points of his career; u brief resume of
the latter will not be inappropriate
here.
Mr.. Conkling vas born at Albany,
n. Y, October 80, 1929, and is, con-
sequently, in his ifty-second year. lie
early studied law, and in 1916 removed
to Utica, where he followed its practice
with success. In 1850, he became dis
trict attorney for Oneida county, and
in 1858, was elected mayor Of Utica,
his popularity and influence increasing
steadily the while. In 1855, he was
sent to congress to represent his dis
trict, and was reelected three times.
In 1867, 1878 and 1879, he was elected
to the U. s. senate, where his term
would not have expired until 1885 had
he not resigned his seat or the now
well known difference of opinion be-
tween him and the late lamented presi-
dent, in relation to certain appoint
ments to office, OH which he held, that
he and his colleague, Mr.. Platt, should
have been consulted as they were sem
ators for the state in which the appoint
ments were made. The long and fruit
less struggle at Albany which followed
this, and which characterized the efforts
of Mr.. Conkling and his friends to OBJ
tain the endorsement of the state legis-
lature for the course that he and his
colleague had pursued has now passed
into history. But the end Is not yet.
The sudden demise Of the late chief ex-
ecutive, and the accession to the presi-
Dental chair Of General Arthur, who
has long been the sincere friend Of Mr..
Conkling, has turned the tables in favor
of the latter; but to what extent, yet
remains to been. One thing, however,
is certain, and that is, that changes
will take place in the cabinet immedi-

so strong in Denver that the three
morning papers will issue seven days
per week, and On every day in the year.
And ven then they are fretting be-
cause there are not ten days in a week

Well. they can afford to be enterprising.
Pardon a side remark that enterprise in
journalism too often means an enor-

bonanzas are railroads, and the other a
