NEW YORK, Oct. "a merchant named
Jackson. doing business on the East River
front, yesterday laid before the Police
Commissioners a letter which he inter
preted as expressing a determination on
the part Of the writer, a Utica man, to
assassinate Conkling. The letter expressed
the opinion that Conkling deserved death,
and the writer said he was coming to New
York on the occasion Of the State Conven-
ton, and that Conkling should not be ad-
mitted, be the consequences what they
might. COMMISSIONS Mason perused the
letter and, observing that it had been
written by a mar of education, inquired
IL the writer was insane or given to drink
ing. Jackson had never heard that he was
either. The Commissioner suggested that
he should write a reply, to endeavor to
ferret out if possible the real plans Of the
But this Jackson refused to do, his
special desire being to get the whole mat
ter off his hands. At his request Commits
sioner Mason promised to take entire
charge of the affair and consult with Conk-
ling about it, and if necessary with
Arthur. He believed that the letter
should be construed in q less blood-thirsty
spirit. Mason, who was questioned about
the letter by a reporter, said he was con-
WINGED, after studying it carefully, that it
should be construed in an expression OF
opinion that Conkling should be Kissed
out OF the convention. He felt quite con-
fident that no assassination was intended.
He shortly after left headquarters with the
letter, the text Of which, with the name of
the writer, were withheld from the re-
porter with much care. What steps, if
any, were taken by Mason to follow up
the matter was not known. 1t was sur
missed that he desired to communicate
with COMMISSIONS French and Conkling,
and measures would then be taken to
watch the writer of the letter upon his
arrival in the city.
