MR.. CONKLING'S RESIGNATION.

II the Republican party ever loses its
through the personal diSsensions and dli-
trrences q! its recognized leaders, and
not because the great mass a. Rcpuhil-
cans shalt have become Iecrcant to Re
publican principles. One Of the respects
in which. as an organization, it has al
ways shown its superiority over the
Democratic party, is in bold, aggressive
leadership. More than once in its his
tory, its leaders have, by displaying the
courage OF their convictions. avcrted i'm
prnding disaster. This was noticeably the
case in 1876. when the fruits of a PreSi-
Dental victory were saved by bold ana
aggressive leadership. Prominent among
these leaders, who by brilliant political
achievement aud manly devotion to the
interests of Republicauism have built M
large personal following. is Mr.. Conk-
ling, of New York To the success OF
the last Presidential campaign he con
tributed possibly rs much as any one

and Mr.. Conkhng turned the tide of popu-
lar sentiment from General Hancock to
General Garfield, and secured victory for
the latter.
/ For these reasons then, however much

and we do not see why the peace of tue

personal issue between Mr.. Conklin@ and

lous, we think. In the meantime tho
L. s. Senate has, with almost complete
unanimity, confirmed the obnoxious ap
pointmeDt, and on this issue at least hotl
bodies are seemingly closed to Mr.. Conk
