MFR. CoYKLING's friends are not cramped

keep the peace. Doubtless they know whaI

Senator whose atiloquent sentences are 80
much admired by bis reiaiDers. Let Us see
how they talk. The Grant CluD, whlch Il

political organization in the county OF Al
bany. have issued an appeal to the Legisa'
ture in favor Of the reelection OF Mr.
CoNKLING. They say
=. Let no man he ashamed a toe name OF
Siaiaart. Sustain the leaders who nave so
often sustained YOU, and let The Maine dic-
;ator understand that all New York asks IS
respectful treatment and proper consldera-
ton OF lis representatives"
"Tbe Maine dictator" is good. As the
Chicago Tribune says, 1--WE should smile"
Again
"No one can Forget the gloom and dark
ness winch settled like nightmare upon

With most unworthy motives James u.
Blaine has sought 10 mi,lead the President,
and has directed blow at the representa-
lives OF the Republicans OF New ork. lie
seeks his own advancement by encouraging
an internal war in the ranks OF the Repuo.

Isn't that rich? And can Mr.. BLAINE,
who was in New York city on Tuesday, sit
quiet and allow his friends TO be bully

IMP viii not Mr.. GARFIELD consider
these iusinualions that BLAINE and not him
self is President an insult and cause OF
offence? VIII he permit himself to be set
down as a tool Of Mr.. BLAINE's and con-
Tess the charge to be true by allowing Mr..
CoKKIING to fight BLAINE for an offence
that he GARFIELD committed! Surely
not. CoNKLING set the President an eX-
ample verify TO be followed when he en-
phaticaIly declined to be ren0minated unless
PLAT was also renOmnated. The Presi-
dent cannot do less for his Premier. We con-
clude, then, that the Administration blows
will fall fast and furious upon Mr.. CONK-

although it was generally supposed that the
CONKLING men would hold yesterday what

are purcbasable he Will 60 back to Wash.
