The systematic effort of Mr.. Conkling's friends
to drag Secretary Blaine into the Robertson
imbroglio as the responsible party has In It an
element OF obvious and intended disrespect to
the President which Is doubtless fully under
stood and appreciated. The design Is to repre-
sent the President as an innocent good-natured
man, without will or settled purpose, deficient
n nerve and backbone, controlled and directed
by subtle and dexterous secretary, who acts
from motives OF personal revenge on party
leaders and former rivals. Passing by this
reckless imputation on the Secretary of State,
1t may be remarked that the President, In
fight with "oossism, Is not likely himself to
be "bOSsedp President Garfield is the head of
his administration as decidedly as Jackson was
the head OF his. No President ever stepped
more promptly into positive control than he;
nor did any administration, within the memory
of this generation, ever get into complete rum
ming order with 50 little delay and friction as
this enc. IL will be well for all parties inter
ested to know and to realize that President
Garfield Is endowed with the rare genius of
ruleiship. He evades no responsibility, and Is
controlled by no subordinate. His relations
