tance of Roscoe Conkling by the New Y orl
Democrats in a pressing and pointed man

operation in the Senate on all non partisan

Views of a Prominent New York Repub-
lican.
WASHINGTON, November 1Sth.-Dewitt |
Clinton Wheeler, of New York, arrived in
Washington to-day, and has talked politics
to q local reporter. He says he does not
know who will succeed Mr.. I.apham i'll the |
Senate but adds " Mr.. Arthur won't be a
candidate for the place. l mean that he
won't go before the Legislature and make
fight for the place. Iou understand me.
If it should turn out that they could unite
on him, he would accept. think. When
| get chance to look the matter over, and
and see who we have in the Legislature, |
shall know something definite about it.
There are lots of men mentioned who
might succeed Mr.. Lapham. Hiscock,
Cornell and Others are spoken off. Conk-
ling is seriously spoken of also" Mr..
Wheeler says that he don't know whether
there is any chance for ConklingS election.
and sagely observes: "fhey accuse
Conkling OF working against Blaine. don't
know whether he did or not; but of
course he will get the credit of it, because his
county reversed Garfield's majority. The
same thing happened in Niagara county
that's Crowley's home. They accused
Crowley of deserting Blainei Now l know
he was one of the most earnest men III the
party during the campaign. Still he will
be accused" Mr. Wheeler intimates that
he is all broken up by the result of the
election, and says there were a thousand
things which contributed to Blaines defeat.
You can't say which one in particular
did it, Before Blaine came into the State
from Ohio he could have carried it by
., ,GG0 majority. As soon as he came into
the State he was the victim of all sorts of
adverse circumstances. Field was respOn-
sible for that dinner, and then-weil, you
know all about Burchard. Sixty thousand
at least 10000 Republicans in the State
voted for Cleveland. If it had not been for
tie disaftected Irish Blaine's defeat would
have been Waterloo"
Pertinent Suggestions.
New YORK, November 1Sth.-The Tri6-
une, III leader, advises the Republican
Senate to make use of all its opportunities
to prevent the next Administration from
reform. 1t says: If q Democratic Pres .
ldent sends in appointments contrary to
the intent and spirit of reform, it is the
duty of the Senate to reject them. If ap
pointments are made for the purpose of
buying up influence or to reward political
treachery, q Republican Senate viii con-
slider whether such prostitution of the
appointing power is in the line of civil ser
vice reform. Moreover, it will become the
|
on behalf of the Republicans of the nation,
whether true selfgoyernment exists in GER
tain Southern States and what remedy is
needed or possible; whether 153 votes of
the solid South, fraudulently obtained,
shall hereafter govern the country, regard
less of the views of the people, whenever
they may be able to capture a small frag-
ment of the votes of the North"
lir. Blaine's Natural Place Hereafter.
New York, November 1Sth-The Sun
has an editorial headed TOO Soon to Dis
miss Mr. Blaine rebuking the references
to the late Mr.. Blaine" 1t says at is
altogether too early to retire Mr. Blaine
His ability, experience audacity and the
attachment of his political following re-
main He is not the sort of statesman to
crawl quietly on the shelf because half a
dozen hundred votes in New York were
Democratic instead of Republican He
stands at the head of united party His
natural place the next four years is in Con-
gress." The San hints that Hale or Frye
ought to resign to make room for him in
the Senate. In another editorial it SAYS
the people are asking just now if the Irish
men who have just bolted the Democratic
ticket will remain with the Republicans or
