NEw YORK, August l3.-James G. Blaine
will arrive here on Wednesday of next week
to deal direct with John j. 0'Brien, and to
attempt reconciliation with Roscoe Conk
Ling The fact that Johnny O'Brien has
stubbornly refused to begin his New York
City work until he could have personal
conference with Mr.. Blaine, has caused
more or less uneasness at Republican head,
quarters Mr.. O'Brien, Mr.. Biglin, and
Clint Wheeler have declared for Blaine and
Logan very much as Tsmmany has declared
for Cleveland and Hendricks, and a great
deal of curiosity is manifested as to how
Mr.. Blaine will 'fx the thing"
Nc< Mentioned.
Roscoe Conkling has not been mentioned
half dozen times since she Chicago Con-
vention in the papers here, and for the time
being has sunk out Of sight. Fhe Brooklyn
straightOut Republicans claimed to-day that
they had been trying to get Mr.. Conkling
to speak for them for several weeks, and
that last night he gave an answer which
they cOnstrue as favorable. More than
this, it is promised that Mr.. CoukEng will
speak but twice during the campaign, once
in BROOKLYN when he VIII tear MH Schurz
into misute particles, and again at Utica,
where he viii talk to his old frieads and
neighboEa Just why Mr.. Blaine should
take the trouble to reconcile Mr.. GoDking
for two speeches is not made plSiu. Mr..
Conkling, however. understands his pro-
gramme in the present campaign to be
quite the contrary to the course mapped
out for him A correspondent has Mr.
ConkEng's personal assurance for the fol-
lowing facts He will not speak in this
campaign; he Will not tear Mr.. Sehurz to
pieces; he has nothing to be reconciled
about; he viii not so much as wag his little
finger in the campaign one way or the
othsr; he viii vote for whom he plesSeS if
he votes at all, and be viii not vote at all
unless ii Is very convenient for him TO do so.
With these few exceptions the programme
made oat for Mr. COAking BY sanguins poll
clans Is correct
Slightly Excited.
The Republicans were little excited to-
day over the report that an independent be-
longing in Brooklyn had gone to Buffalo to
investigate the Cleveland scandal, and had
wired his friends thai he had found enough
truth in it to warrant him in declining to
further support the Governor. 1hisimport-
ant independent is aged 22 years, and is q
clerk in the Polytechnic institute.
Horace Demings letter TO the Young Re
pubHcans has at least put an end to the
farce of designating their organization Is
Republican. From the best data sttsinable
more than IS per cent Of the club will vote
for Cleveland.
Gov. Hendricks.
Gov. Hendricks came up from Msnhat
tan Beach today for the purpose of meeting
Dan Manning. just in from Geyelands va
cation grounds. Mr. Hendricks has had hI:
letter Of acceptance ready for two weeks
and he is anxious to Gre it of. Mr.. Man

at work on his letter, and had no idea o
finishing it until week after next
