A Rumor That He viii Soon Define His
Position in Letter Unfayorable
to the Republican Can
didate.
CLEVELAND WILL NOT COME WEST.

PHILADELPHIA. September 22.-The
Times gives prominence to the following
Washington special;
A prominent Republican, who has been
in New York for some days and who has
been in consultation with some of the lead
ers of the Stalwsrt wing OF the party, re-
turned here to-day and says that he has it
from some of Mr.. Conkling's closest friends
that that gentleman will within the next
two or three weeks publish letter in which
he viii define his position, and that it will
not be favorable TO Mr.. Blaine. The ex-
Senator from New York has on several oc-
casions of late given out intimations Of a
movement on foot which will be important
in political sense. Mr.. Conkling has of
late been urging that the Stalwarts have
always stood by their party in support of
Ito them) Objectionable candidates, as
in the cases of HAYES and Garfield,
and that if Mr.. Cleveland was good enough
in the minds Of the present dominating Re-
publican leaders TO elect Governor Of the
first State in he Union, as against Repub
hcan of high ability and integrity he must
have large share Of the qualities necessary
to make
An Acceptable President.
To what extent such departure by Mr.
Conkhng will affect the numbers and loyalty
of the party in New York will depend large
" upon circumstances. The antagonism
which already exists between the President
and Mr. Conkling on the one hand, and the
President and Collector Robertson, repre-
senting the Blaine end of the line, on the
other, is giving the leaders much trouble,
and elevation of Ex-Governor Fenton, Con
kings old enemy in New York politics, to
the Secretaryship of the Treasury would
not improve the situation.
The gentleman who was authority for the
statement that Mr. Conkling is preparing
letter also says that he heard the name of
Mr.. Fenton mentioned as the probable sue
cessor to the late Secretary Folger, and the
opinion of such selection would be to
quiet any Senatorial aspirations on the part
OF that gentleman and the utilization of his
strength in the State in support of Presi-
dent Arthur in that direction. The Presi-
dent is said 10 disclaim any such ambition,
but he is comparatively young man, and
the chagrin he feels on account of his de-
feat at Chicago has rather stimulated his
desire for some recognition, despite the
opinion Of some Of his friends to the con-
trary.
The gentleman speaking says: when
Mr.. Conklings letter appears you can make
up your mind that he is not speaking for
himself alone, but that something import
ant will follow

forward manner in which Mr.. Gibson &C

Mr.. Seymour Brewster died at the New
York hotel, where be had boarded for thirty
years He was 50 years old, and has taken
to the grave with him secrets which for
twenty-five years the business portion Of the
community have vainly attempted to un-
ravel. Mr.. Brewster is to-day worth 81 ,00o..
600, and could have had q bank account
Of s., ,000, 900 had he so desired. When Mr..
Brewster first came to this country in 1896
he was handsome and energetic young
man, brimful Of business and enterprise.
he went into business aud became possessed
Of much real estate, including the buildings
and land at No, 30 Park row, and the i'm.
mense STRUCTURES on Broadway below Houa-
ton street. For twenty-five years the Broad.
way buildings have been untenanted. and
no one but Mr.. Brewster has crossed their
thresholds. They stand to-day
Like Marble Hsadstones
above some secret OF their owner which has
become intermixed with their architecture.
1t WAS about the time that these build
ings were closed that Mr.. Brewster betook
himself from his usual haunts and began
the life OF an anchorite Before, he dressed
elegantly and was lavish with his money.
When he turned the iccks in the Broadway
doors he discarded fine clothes and began
the life Of miser, The hotel people know

and his whole soal seemed bent on accumu-

any reason for letting his Broadway prop
crty which might have added n, 900, 900 to
his wealth, stand idle. His Park Row
house was merely q home for rats and
could not be leased by any one until short
time ago. There is, undoubtedly, some
power stronger than love Of money which
has influenced and darkened Mr.. Brewsters
life, and the closed buildings show this
clearly. A placard bangles to-day from
