The StslwArt Address Against Blaine.
The Republicans of New York and
of the Union view with undisguised
alarm the recent manifesto Of the stall
wart faction in that state. In addi-
ton TO the Independent revolt, this
new danger has almost paralyzed them.
On all sides they are beset. Dismayed
and overtaken with panic they have
almost given up hope OF carrying New
York, and their EXTREMIST efforts are
now centered ON Indiana and New
Jersey.
Faction-rent as the Republicans of
New York have been in the past, they
are worse torn up now than ever before.
Three distinct factions are to be found
in the Republican party of that state,
two of which are arrayed in bitter hos
tllity to the candidate of their party
for president. The Independents OPP
pose Blaine because he is impure and
unworthy. The stalwarts hate him
because they look upon him as the
author of Folger's defeat and the agent
of the discontinue OF their leader,
Conklipg. Formerly it has happened
that whichever candidate Of the Re
publican party was opposed by one of
these factions had the favor of the
other; 1t Is left to the unfortunate
Blaine to draw upon himself the i'm.

A deadly hatred has existed between
Conkling and Blaine ever since the
famous passage between them in con-
gress, when Conkling questioned the
honesty of Blaine and Blaine retorted
by twltting the inordinate vanity and
egotism of Conklmg. Each aspired TO
the leadership of their party and in
trigued for it. Blaine has won, and
now 1t is not human nature for his
bitter enemy TO give him aid in
establishing his success. Though he
has not gone the length OF such Re-
publicans as Beecher and Curtis in
, opposing Blaine, there can he no ques'
ton that Conkling would be as glad
over his defeat as they. But while he
, contents himself with merely ignoring
, his ancient enemy, his friends are not
, 80 quiet. No man In the country has
J such loyal friends as Conkling, and IN
New York his personal following IL
, large, devoted and powerful. 1t il
these friends, or few of them, who
met Mt Conkllng's home in Utica last
week and signed the stalwart address
to the Republicans Of the country
holding Blaine up as false, tricky, dis
honest, incompetent and infamous, The
indictment is terrible in its severity
Among the signers of the address are
some OF the leading Republicans in
4 the state, and they are all thoroughly
