men in that state. talked moment
yesterday with Harry Oliver, who was
Cameron's candidate for United States
senator in place of Mitchell. He said: Il
think there is fighting chance for
Beaver to get plurality, but am not pre-
dieting anything about it." Mr.. Oliver
said that the tariff commission would
adjourn when congress met
and would meantime meet either in New
York or Washington city till its labors
were finished.
Robson, of New Jersey, is making a
canvass for reelection the like of which
has never been seen in any district of the
state in any year. The ex-secretary sees
that he is being pushed very much harder
this year than he ever has been hereto
fore. The opposition to him among the
men of his own party is being organized
all over the district. In Cumberland
county especially this organized
opposition is strong, and in two or three
places takes in large share of
the Republican voters. State Senator J.
Nichols, who is the editor of Republican
paper published in Bridgeton, in the First
district, says in late issue that. the secre-
tary's prospects are not fattering. In an
ordinary year, he contends, the average,
Republican majority.in the district is
$500. This year the temperance vote will
be 1000, seven-eighths of which will be
taken from the Republican party. He
thinks that Ferrett's personal popularity
is worth 1000 votes, and he will be
that number ahead of his ticket.
Conkling looks fierce as baffled hy-
ena. He has expected to make use of the
present campaign to return to the senate,
but he finds that his opportunities to trade
machine votes for city offices in order to
elect Conkling assemblymen are broken
up. He has the melancholy reflection that
he broke up the trade himself in order to
oblige Jim Bennett, who wanted to spite
John Kelly. Having broken up the sys-
tenn of trading for that year,
Kelly went off in huff and de-
clined to trade any more, and Conkling
will probably stay home for the rest of his
life.
had conversation yesterday of very
remarkable character with a prominent
federal officeholder, who does not run with
the stalwart faction, but desired to see
Folger elected, probably because he thinks
that the loss of New York state this year
will bring in a Democratic president two
years hence and rout him from his position.
While do not vouch either4for the accu--
racy of what he said, nor certify that
correctly remember the whole
conversation, I will try to give
it literally, although there may be some
minor points in his revelation which am
ill-info-med upon. Said I:
''What is the outlook for the state tickets?
Why" said he, sunless something is
done by President Arthur to check this
eruption into Cleveland's forces, Judge
Folger will be beaten by 10000 votes.
You can get plenty of bets even that he
will be beaten by $4,000 and $4,000 now."
''What is to produce the check?"
''It may be done by President Arthnr
himself. He must announce that he has
thrown Conkling overheard"
But he cannot announce that when he
continues to carry him.
"Well, hear that they have broken. !
hear that Arthur says he has paid his debt
of gratitude to Conkling long ago."
''Who says it?"
81 will tell you confdentially. It was
Pierre Van Wyck, gentleman and the
best of Arthur's intimate acquaintances.
He does not like Conkling, and he long
wanted to see Arthur throw him overheard.
He says that the president now sees his
great mistake in not letting him slide as
soon as he took the office.'
SIS there any other authority?"
s'Well, Arthur told George Jones soon af-
ter he went to the presidency, that he had
more than honored all the drafts of graft
tude on him by Conkling, and was done;
but Jones did not believe Arthur. Hence
the New York Times has never come out
warmly for the administration
After few moments reflection this gen
tleman said:
Il will give you bit of conversation that
took place inside of the Republican state
committee rooms within a very few hours.
A man went in to see Smythe, who ap-
pears to be wool-gathered and
dazed by the uphill work
he is having, and Smythe confessed
that things looked desperate. He said:
''We can't get any money from the mer-
chants of New York to run the committee
on. We haven't collected enough to pay
our room rent here What are we going
to do?" Why" replied the conner, ''you
have got to do two OF three things very
quick. In the first place, you must squelch
these little Celts like O'Brien and Cregan
and Biglin, who want nominations on the
city ticket. and YOU must say to this cjti-
