A HAPPY FAMILY.
The Internal Jars OF the New York Re-
pubiicans.

From the Nea0 York Star
ALBANY. Nov. 1S.-The fact has been
developed here, and absolutely confirmed
by members Of the Republican State com
mittee. that Davenport insisted, during
the campaign, on expressing the con-
gratulatOry dispatches on his nomination
cent TO him by James G. Blaine.
One came the day after his nomination,
directed TO him at Bath, but be feared
that it would be distaSteful 10 the Mug
wump organs, and he kept It's receipt Sc
cret and made no Tep'V TO IT.. shortly al
ter, on his arrival in New York, the COM
mittee confronted him with another, sew
eral DAYS later, from Mr.. Blaine, stating
that be feared the frs had been mlsdlrect-
ed land again terderlnIhim hear Y conlrAt-
u'atiOns, with the view expressed JnaL tue
III results br0u mt about 10y foes in the
camp last year would be triumphantly
wIned out by his election. THIS was
shown Davenport, and he turned pale.
Some of the committee men wanted him
10 give 1t to the press at once, but he de-
clared that he was afraid 1t would set the
Mugwumps against him.
A stormy scene ensued, and Gen. Carr
dec AIRED that 1t Dug TO he printed to
show the Irish that Blaine was with them.
Davenport was frightened AMI asked de-
lay until be could consult with his friends.
He consulted with sherman 5. Rogers,
his brOther-in-law, who, though Blaine
man last year, is the most distinguished
anti-Stalwart in the western Part Of the
State, and be agreed with Davenport. de-
elaring that il would certainly drive
away the Mugwumps and, at the same
time, roll the Stalwarts. Upon this Da-
Venport acted, and another commotion en-
sued ia the commi tee rooms. Gen. Carr
hap mn an
take the cont ol OF the State committee in
TO his own hands, rem aiDiGg in fact pretty
much OF the ime at their rooms moody
and disconnected.
When James ID. Warren, the Stalwart
of the Buffalo COmnlercldL, heard of I,
and heard that Davenport had done so on
the advice of Sherman 5. Rogers, War
ren's most bitter enemy, be became lntu-
rated, and turned the columns OF his pa
per from that moment into a persistent
and bitter abuse of Mugwump influence.
Rogers had joyfully eXcla med al Sarato-
ga. on the nomination OF Davenport:
"Now we have downed Warren"
and on this new revelation Warren
hesitated no longer TO take his full
revenge. He was so ind gDant that he
could hardly be induced to preside at the
Evarts meeting in Buffalo, and when he
inadVert ntly found Mathews, halt-breed
editor OF the Express, next to MIN on the
platform, he rose before the whole audi
ence, showing disgust in his manner. and
changed his seat to another side Of the
stage. On that occasion Mr.. Evarts,
hearing Of the feeling Warren had mani
tested, tried in a most unhappy manner to
placate him by remarking that if Mr..
Warren were the candidate Mr.. Eyarts
would not need to come TO Buffalo to advO-
cate him, for all would vote for him.
But tue most disastrous result of the
action Of Davenport was in another quar-
ter. An indignant committeeman sent
Blaine a recital of the facts, and the
Maine statesman took instant revenge.
Not an eminent Blaine leader in this ate
took any active part in the campaign.
Chauncy Depew and Gen. Hustled. two
orators ready at all times, found other
engagements. The campaign was left to
Sherman and Edmunds, two positive eue-
mics OF Blaine. In the Mugwump news
paper Offices, however, jublatiOn was
very great. TINS incident could not ne en-
tiEely kept from the great newspapers.
and when he 1ribHne heard OF il, and OF the
JOY OF the Times and Post, it emphasized
its feeling in the matter by predicting de-
feat unless harder work was done.
aud heaped even more virulent abuse than
ever upon the proprietor of its neighbor
on the opposite corner.
The matter is already beginning to he
discussed in the interior papers, and will
become another reason for the final split
hing Of the Republican party.
