is determined to wage relentless war against
Robertson and against the administration.
r. holds Secretary Blaine responsible for the
nomination. Conkllng expects to be de-
feated and realizes Robertson will be confirmed,
but says thsie is principle involved, that he
would make fight If he knew he were the
only Senator who would vote against Robert.
son. It is said Conkling will | not wait for
the executive session to proclaim his position
and reasons for antagonizing the administra-
tion, but that he will take an appointment In
open session, 500 that his position will be
represented as might be in executive session.
Senator Conklng holds that it Is his duty to
oppose Robertson; that his confirmation
would be toward disorganizing the present
Republican organization in New York; that
Robertson's administration Of the collectors
Office would antagonizs the present Republl-
can organization, disrupt the party and cause
It's defeat in New York. Mr.. Conkling's posi-.
ton further is that 1t Is his duty to protect
and maintain the present Republican organi'
zation, which has won victory after victory in
New York. That there Is no division of the
Senator's in regard to the federal appoint
msnts; they asked for no special appoint
ments, but that the President gave them
positively to understand that no objection
able men would be appointed. Senator Conk-
ling further holds that although he probably
will be beaten in this first contest, that the
fight will 60 on outside the Senate chamber;
that If Blaine be permitted to take charge of
the New York Republican party and appoint
ments, that he and his supporters may run In
1884 and elect Republican ticket; then, If
they Can, 1t is positively asserted that eight or
ten Democratic Senator's will vote with Conk-
ling, but it is generally admitted that Robert
son will be confirmed. Senator Jones to-day
defended Florida against the accusation of re.
pudiation, and showed that the State had not
repudiated.
