Mr. Mackley:

words about prison life in Fort Cherington-otler-
wise the jackson Jail. 1t Is what would call
a Garden of Eden. 1t is more like Il hencoep only IA
little more so. / must say Sheriff Cherngton is a
gentleman. in every respect, and with uneX
pected kindness. He gives plenty of good, whole
some food, and does everything possible to make US
comfortable, for which we are truly thankful. But
can say although l in the jackson Jail, L will
never come here any more. My wild career is ended
and my rambling days Ger. When meet young

good advice. would say:
Young man. hummer would have you to beware,
upon the square;
For the police are so plenty, Judge Trip he is so
nigh,
and die.
JOHN II. CONRAD.
Now, John, let us give you a little
advice. You have already quit the
use of tobacco, beer and whisky; now
stop selling whisky and voting the
Democratic ticket, and you may yet
be happy.

s'Garfield is man without backbone;
. man of fins ability. but lacking STAN
ina. He wants TO please everybody,
and is afraid OF incnrring the enmity Of
all men who are around him. This is
why he threw cop to Conkling and
Platt. Robertson's appointment, am
sure, was settled before March IL.
Yes. before the Chicago convention.
Robertson knew that IL my nomination
could be prevented he would become
collector of New York. Do not sup
pose he had a direct pledge; the con-
tract was with Blaine. and Blaine is
keen and wary. Robertson, however,
knew he was to get the appointment.
Blaine failed and Garfield was nomi-
mated, and was pledged to Robertson.
He had to appoint him. yet he was
afraid to say 90. Why did not say
openly 4 am going to appoint Robert
SON. 1do not think Blaine has per-
sonally said anything to Garfield In the
matter. He wants to be in a position
to say that since he has been secretary
of state he has never interfered with
any appointments, and thinks be can
say that he had not said anything. Bnt
still. through him Robertson's nomina-
tion was dictated, and through him in
sisted upon" N sSt
