DIR. CuApIN's BOOKS 10 BE SEA Erred.
The late Rev. Dr. Chaplu was a collector OF books.
somrwbat miscellaneous, judging from the cata-
logu. ins issued m his tastes aud hahis. but SUN
with g,nuipe love of the curious ana rare as wei

notice DR. Chapin'a fondness for first editions.
Thus. of Emerson no had the " Nature 1886; with
first editions in their original bindings Of many
other OF the philosophers writings. There are
twelve numbers Of The Diai, ls4O-43, with
eleven first editions of LongfelOw's poems.

CONKLING'S COURSE.
Special 10 the Cincinnati Commerciol,I

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.I
New YORK, May 6.--The Robert
son nomination is the sole topic of the
politicians. One Of them, who is a
well-known friend Of Conkling, gave
this rather sober view Of it to a Fri
bune reporter: Il have greatly re-
GREETED that there have arisen any
differences between Mr.. Conkling and
the president as | think it will have a
bad effect on the party in this state.
There are state officers and a full
legislature to be elected in November.
and being an off year the republicans
are always apt to poll a light vote.
The two parties are so evenly divided
in this state that a light republican
vote means a democratic victory. We
can't afford to lose the elections this
year, and a quarrel in the republican
ranks will be apt to lead to that
result"
But whom do you hold responsible
for this state Of affairs?"
We'll" replied Mr.. Conkling's
friend, II think that in this case the
senator has pursued an unwise course.
If he could not have induced the pres
ident to withdraw Mr.. Robertson's
name, he should have allowed the
nomination to be confirmed without
open opposition, as the president
showed a disposition to recognize Mr..
Conkling in making other appoint
ments. There are a great many Offices
to be filled in this state during the
presidents term. President Hayes
made very few changes, re%appointing
Mr.. Conklin's friends in most in
stances. Now if Mr.. Conkling makes
war on the administration those
will be filled with persons whom
he can not control, and he will
be unable to make up for the loss of
patronage. He has now four.ifths OF
the men in the c%ustomhouse, but
he cannot expect to retain them under
such circumstance. He made up for
the loss of patronage during Hayes
term by combinations with the demo-
Gratis, But it is improbable that he
can do. that in the future. His own
term expires with that Of the presi-
dent, therefore he cannot depend upon
the next administration. That is why
| think he has made a mistake"
DO you believe he will be able to
secure the rejection of Judge Robert
son ?"
mo. Because many other senator's
are in the same position that Mr..
Conkling is in, and they will not care
to act with him and thus commit
political suicide. Then, in a contest
of this kind, the people are naturally
with the president"
