Special to the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, April lit is feared by
the Republican leaders of the East thai
there is brewing in their ranks a faction
fl ght that if either Mr.. Blaine or Mr. Arthur
is nominated in 1884 differences
will arise that can not be recon

party fealty can not heal. This uneasines:

of the President. 1t is this phantom's warn
ing that causes his delay OF action.
To-day well known New York Repub
lican, who is here in the interest of friend:

felt the sit down in the appointment of Rob
ertson as Collector of New York as a per
sonal dart from the bow welded by Blaine
That javeline cut deep into Conkling, and a:
his pride was above party 1 Go not believe
he could be induced to speak a good word
for Blaine"
'Brt why do you especially dwell upon
Mr.. Baaine2'
Because 1 believe him to be by far the
strongest Republican spoken OF for the nom
ination in 1884"
stronger than Arthur or 5rant"
Much stronger than Arthur. Grant i:
