upon those great leaders who had rem
dered victory q possibility in the state
of New York, and with victory in New
York, came victory in the U MON; and
the hearts of the republicans all over the
land were made glad.
The new republican Administration
Was inaugura;ed. The great Empire
\ State Was represented in the Senate BY
two Of the most able and faithful leaders
in the ranks Of tbs republican party. The
| Administration owed much to the re-
| publicaDs Of New York. The President
owed, at least, respectful consideration
| and treatment to their most hoDofed and
| honorable representatives. That con-
sideration AID treatment has not been
accorded to them. With . most IN
worthy motive, james g. Blaine has
sought to mislead The President and
strike blow at the representatives, OF
the republicans Of New York. He seeks
his own advancement by encouraging an
internal wa- in the ranks Of the repub-
lican party, and by attempting to break
down the influence and power Of those Of
whose brilliant and triumphant career he
is jealous and envious, chagrined AZ he
Is over his own most miserable failure
and defeat
Governed by honorable selfrespoct and
guided by plain sense Of duty, your
senatori have resigned their trust. and it
now remains for the representatives of
the people 10 decide whether the gallant
leader under whom the republicans Of
New York and Of the Union have
marched TO victory, shall be stricken
down, or be sustained.
In obedience to demand OF the coun-
ell and corrupt solicitations of thousands
who delight 10 follow where Roscoe
Conkling leads, he and his late sssoci-
stes appeal to the republican party for |
vindicstion and approval. Shall they
have itT In the present crisis we appeal |
to all those who appreciate honest public |
service; who believe in fidelity 70 friends; |
who hold the Interests Of the republican |
party higher in esteem than the loaves
and fishes; who believe in honor among |
our public servants; who would Iebuke |
political trickery and ingratitude, to rally /
around men who have won our victories,
upheld our principles and saved the life /
of the republican party. Let no man be
ashamed of the name OF staiwart. Sus-
tain leaders who have so often sustained /
you and let the Maine dictator under
stand all New York asks, is respectful |
treatment and proper consideration of its
. sa.
Conkling received the paper saying he
would not be able to read it at present.
The chairman Of the club informed him
he could read it at his leisure, and that
no response was expected. He thanked |
the chairman, and then the club fled be-
fore him, when he shook the hand of
each member.
There is diversity of opinion among
those who have watched the effect of this
visit, Some contend it has strengthened
The chances of the ex-senator, while
others contend it has weakened them.
There are reports that the Administra-
Iionists have gained sssemblymen, and
The stalwsrts have gained senator, but
when the names are given, and that has
been in rare cases, the parties were not
10 be found. Thus, Yerifcation is almost
-s..s
There were about 500 people in the
streets adjacent to the hotel, expecting 8
,ereasde and 8 speech from Conkling,
but be had declined the honor Of q sere-
1sde before he came, and would no.
,hsnge his determination.
