Vermont; Emory Storrs, General Nancy,
OF Tennessee: Clint Wheeler, and dozen
other politicians Of New: York. Most OF
tlom looked upon the scheme rs utopian

Of them, shrewder than the best OF them,
and lam convinced that there is more III
the project than appears upon the sur.
face. Indeed, 1T is doubtless true TINT Il
tremendous effort will be made to effect
this object, and also that the matter is not
n new one. but is, in fact, one OF Il series
of projects iii the scheme Of Roscoe Conk.
ling, two OF which have already been nc.
coap|ished with gratifying success.
coSHLtNG's HATE.
Mr.. Conkling hates everybody above
him and despises everybody below. lie
is malignant toward his superiors and con-
teli,ptuous toward his interiors. All his
efforts are III the endeavor to pull down
and destroy the first, and to do it he makes
use OF the second. When Arthur became
President and Conkling n private citizen,
he began 10 hate Arthur and plot against
him. Blune he has always hated and
feared. These two men he has plotted to
destroy with all the meanness Of q nature
that rcsents the rule OF Jehovah as Il per.
sonal indisnitv, and estcems the prece.
dencc Of the Almighty over him rs IN out.
raeeous hlunder in the economy OF the
universe; the nature OF man that would
measure the Infinite Will, his own two.
foot rule and use his ownlamp to examine
the sunby. His creatures claim with slee
and chuckling that Conkling has killed
both Arthur and Blaine for the
Presidency, and the plan now
in i contemplation will leave both
Arthur and Blaine in private lille, and
Conkling in the Senate, representing no
party, beilollen to 10 faction, independent
and free to act us he placscs. lie will be
a Senator Mt large, the. great power and
balance Of power--not the Republican
Senator C0nklii@, not Senator .Conklin.,
of New York, but Senator Conklirig, the
great Senator, Lord Roscoe, soaring above
party ties or, State considerations, or eco.
graphical lines; his enemies cast down
and destroyed, his feet upon the tempest
and the. storm, his head in the empyrean,
and his naughty glance cast down upon
the humbly rolling world below, with its
meekmortals OF common earth and clay.
Now that the scheme is expressed III the
only style bciiiiing anything Conklonian,
in ordinary parlance it is perfectly evil
dent, from daily aud hourly developments,
that Mr.. Conkling used MI his power
through his people, partisans and day Ia
borers at Chicago 10. defeat Arthur. There
is no doubtupon that point.
cosKL1xGlrEs FAVORED BLAINE.
q Everybody knows that the Conklingites
at Chicago favored Blaine, and it is undis-
puted that Conklng desired his friends to
vote for Blaine, and simple and contiding
Blaine'm men snid to each other slow
great and magnanimous and generous is
Conkling, after all, and how We have
wronacd the noble mani" ! heard my
self George Gorham say Mt Chicago that
Mr.. Conkling believed Mr.. Blaine would
be stronger in New York than Mr.. Ar
thur, and others Of his friends said
Mr.. Blaine was the only candidate
named who could carry New York.
1t goes without the saying that
these statements had tremendous
influence, because they indicated closing
up Of lines and consolidation OF factions in
New York, the all.important State i6r the
Republicans TO carry. Mr.. Arthur was
defeated and Mr.. Blaine was nominated
Score one for Mr.. Coukliug, SO the chuck
ling Conkling men say, Then what was
the. attitude OF these Conkling men in the
terrible struggles made by the party that
followed? No one is so blind us 10 be de-
ceived, or,if they were, tho vote Of Oneida
county would open their eyes. BY every
underhand and characteristic agency Mr.
Conklng cndeavored to beat Mr.. Blaine.
His followers sneered when he sncered,
and praet;ced his sncer before mirror,
and repeated his sarcasnis, and to-day they
arc claiming, with more o. less opcnness,
that il WAS Conkling did it, and they
say, look at Oneida county. This
scored the second triumph for Conkling
and Conklinsism. The second duggcr had
gone in,under the left shoulder-blale and
found tho heart. Now again, Mr.. Arthur
desires 10 drop gently back to private lie
BY way OF the U. S. Senate, hardly, how
ever, putting his claims upon what the
Administration did to help the party, in
the campaign, for while Conkling sneered,
Arthur smiled, and the back townships,
where this sole effort OF the President
rolled up n majority ior Blaine has yet to
be heard from. Again there is M oppor.
mnity for Mr.. Conllins to use II stile,to,
and unless all signs fail it is being used
vigorously for Mr.. Arthur's benefit. Had
the Administration stood by the ticket
faithfully in New York, it is Lighlyprob,
able the result would have been different,
and the way from the White House to New
York via tho y. S. Senate would have
been less difficult. .ll'as 'y.;.
