at the time Of her death, a bout siz years
ago she had q paralytic stroke from which
she ever after suffered some 'gc1nyenieuce.
About ten days ago she caught a severe
cold which settled on her breast This,
taken In connection with the weakness or
old age, was the direct cause Of her death.
Mrs. Mateer was married in her native
county to John w. mateer, who survives
her, and removed with him 10 Morrison's
cove in 1880. She resided in Marrinsburg
or the immediate vicinity until the time

DR.. CHARLES Cary are Miss Loves nephews.
The deuesee house, Buffalo, is owned by
the family. The relatives deny the truth
of tho reports which probably originated
from The fact that reception was given TO
Governor Cleveland at the Cary mansion
when he was lzst IN Buffalo. The story
regarding Miss Folsom is also pronounced
untrue by her friends. She is much
younger than Miss Love. The governors

MONDAY RVrNIN0 NOV. II, iss4.



TIE scheme to elect Mr.. ConklinG to
the United States Senate BY fusion Of
the Democrats In the New York leGisla.
ture with small body of stslwsrts there
Who are devoted to Mr.. ConklingS for
tunes, seems 10 be very attractive to .
portion Of the Democratic party. Those
who favor IL are moved no doubt by Mr..
Conklipg's high talents, his unique and
picturesque position In politics, and by
the capacity for hating his Republican
enemies which he seems TO have shown
In the late campaign; the change In
his county Of Oneida from 1880, wss
enough to have determined the state Of
New York for Cleveland.
It is doubtful IL Mr.. Conkling would
accept the proposed election; 1t is Ger
tain that he would be In measure com
promised by becoming the representative
of constituency made mp Of such ele-
meDts.
Whatever his present position and a.
sociations, 1t is not to be forgotten that
Mr.. Conkling has been one of the most
iutoltrant and bitter enemies Of the
Democratic party he has aspersed its
men and its purposes I; he has poured
vials Of wrath upon the Southern pso
pie, to whom the Democracy mostly owe
their triumph and who, in every point OF
view. have right to Just and generous
consideration from the next administra
tion. Then again Mr.. Conkling has
been the implacable enemy Of the large
body of Independent Republicans in New
York, who rendered far more valuable
service than he In the late campaign and
whom IL would not be Just nor polite TO
humiliate by his exsltation.
The past experience Of lending tbs
Democratic organization TO interference
in Republican family quarrels and to
building up one faction at the expense
OF the other, has not been such as to rec.
ommend it to acceptance. In the West
ern states 1t was failure, and in Mass
achusetts the Democrats warm-d an
adder in taking up Butler, cast of BY
his own associates. But Mr.. Conkling's
peculiar individuality is the best reason
for Democrats not to be precipitste In
embracing the programme cut out fol
them. He is very naughty and In
tractable man, of whom one OF his sena
torial associates has said that lever.
one around him must be either serf o.
enemy" He exscts implicit obedience
or quarrels with those who refuse /,
yield il. Such an element In the coun
ellis OF a new Democratic sdministrs
tion would not likely contribute to III
success.
Mr.. Conkling, we repeat, is not likel!
to ask nor even desire fsvors from tb,
+. Democracy. He is greater withou
them and he most likely knows hi
own strength. II is not the part Q
wisdom TO press such fsvors upon him
nor TO agitste the party with schemes o
transferring its powers to one or tn
other of the Republican factions.
