Why Mr.. CoaEliny is Silent.

p The friends OF Mr.. Conkling have an
nounccd that he will not make any re-
ply TO the speech OF Senator Butler, IN
which Mr.. Conkliny's gross mlsrepre-
sentation of the South Carolina census
was handled rs it deserved.
As reason for the Senator wonder
full forbearancc. in this case. it Is as-
serted that, rs he desires to beat some
OF Mr.. Hayes nominations. he will not
stir up the feelings Of Democratic sen;''
tors.
This is more ingenious than truthful.
The real reason why Mr.. Conkling will
not answer that speech resides in the
stubborn fact that the speech is unan-
swerable. Mr.. Conkiing didmake false
accusations Of gross frauds: He made
them on the stump and in his most in
solent vein. Mr.. Conkling has known
for some months, if he did not know
when he was on the stump. that the
charges he then made were utterly de-
void of truth.
But while Mr.. Conkling has been
fully aware that he made false anu IL
! belous charges. while Mr.. Conkling ma:
been proven by the highest official
authority TO have uttered untruths. he
has taken no step 70 put himself right
He was thus IT.. = position where Mr.
Butler found it easy to expose him to
the country rs cnlumn;atoc.
No reply is possible, for ali the facts
areaganst Mr.. Conklins, and he is Wis
