Reasons Why Senator Hoar opposed
the confirmation or C~0nkliug.

WASHINGTON. February 81. = The
President is very much assrisvsd at Sen.
a,or Hoar's speech on Saturday. he
was especially hurt for the rsason that
hs had gone out OF his way to pay attsn-
ton to the recommendations Of Senator
Hoar and his friends. The Stalwarts
wanted Boutwell, put upon the Supreme
Bench before Gray was nominated. and
had the President listened to his imme-
diate friends Mr.. Boutwell, would have
been nominated. He, however, took
counsel with Mr.. Hoar and selected
Judge Gray. After giving this consider.
alton to Mr.. Hoar, he thinks II comes
with poor grace from the Senator from
Massachusetts, to 90 bitterly oppose o
personal selection Of his (ths Presi-
dent's) own. Senator Hosr's speech
has created o marked sensation, as IL
evinees tho intensely a%ntsgonistic feeling
that exists in the Republican party.
There il no doubt that Senator Hoar's
attack upon Conklipg Is based largely
upon personal spite. Copkling voted
against the confirmation OF his brother.
E. Il. Hosr, whose nomination was be-
fore the Senate some years ago, and
since that time the Hoars have been his
accommodating enemies.

L Heiluagon has finally given up; for a
Ilong tine be has asserted his innocence
and declaimed against the injustice of his
sentence, but the fear of approaching death
and the terror Of the execution of the judi
caa1 sentence has overthrown his nerye and
broken down his first desire TO die heroic
death He has made what is. practically a
confession, and while holding out dark In
situations as to other parties concerned in
the crime, has really acknowledged that he
was the man that struck the blow. Daring
the trial he preserved q firm and collected
demeanors and there and afterwards he pro-
tested his innocence of all guilt aud endeay-
ored to have it understood that he had no
part in the bloody affair of that fatal night;
but to day reached the end of his PROPOSED
endurance, and TO an interviewer he stated
that the finding of the Court was right.
He did not to day totally confess his guilt
but to all effect acknowledged that the
said confession would be forthcoming, but
not until the sentence had been executed
and the seal of death had made any further
statement of his impossible. He promised
that when the time cane his confession
In full would be furnished, but in the
meantime noting but a tacit acknowledge
ment of guilt would be given. He is will
ing 70 freely state his own guilt but any
thing further than that he win not now al

that he Is guilty OF the crime OF which he

this reticence is due to the fact that others |
