e"nsiiag's Last speech.
NEW Yoag, July lf.-Ex-Senato.
Conkiing's speech at Utica is very gen
orally interpreted here as desire on
his part for truce and psace between
the two factions of the Republican par
ty IN this State. The OK Sen a,or's sa-
missions are that there is much in the
present condition of the country to
make Republicans think together, &C:
together and feel together. and bring
men toward each other who thought
apart in the days that are gone. It i,
believed by more thoughtful politicians
to be n somewhat moro real than idle
sentiment, and that proaf of the fact
will be found in the approaching State
convention where the irritating distinc.
ton of Stalwarts and Half-breeds will
not be tolerated longer. This is the
way Conkling's friends and even such
typical Half-breeds as Collector Robert
son are talking; and as it is claimed the
Administration is in harm ony with these
views, 1t Is just probable that the Utica
orator foreshadows tha lion and the
lamb are once more to lie down togeth-
er.
Ilitnsis Rye.
SPnisor1ELD, July l4.-DepartInent of
Agriculture reports prospects encourag-
ing for large crop of rye. Ths yield

or quite as large as in 1880.
