Implacable Stalwarts.

No doubt it has occurred frequently to
observant people as being little curious
how many reports are set ahoat concerning
a man after he is dead. Some of Mr.. Blaine's
| friends, for instance, have lately busted
themselves in circulating the report that
Mr.. Conkling, before his death, agreed to
support Mr.. Blaine if he were nominated.
| Mr.. j. S. Clarkson, of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, in speaking of the mat
ter few days ago, said he had no personal
knowledge Of such an agreement, but be
had no doubt the report was true, as he
knew that Mr.. Conkling. like all others who
| for years have been fighting the party and
its leaders, had determined to support tho
nominee.
Mr. Conkling is not here to affirm or deny
the report. If there was such an agree
ment, however, it is reasonable TO suppose
that some one of his intimate friends knows
all about it, or that some conclusive evil
dence of its existence can be brought for
ward by Mr.. Blaine's friends; and yet
nothing In the way of proof is furnished
Probably it will turn out to be very
indefinite rumor, but whether it be true or
false. Mr.. Blaine's friends hope to use it to
placate the stalwarts and to gain their votes
in case Mr. Blaine is nominated
With Mr.. Conkling dead, it would seem
that Mr.. Blaine's chances of getting the
stalwart vote would be very good without
a resort to such tricks; but from the signs
that crop out now and thon they do not
only not improve, but they are impaired.
Mention has been made previously of a
letter to the New York Herald, in which
IAN Oneida Stalwart" called upon Mr.
Conkling's friends TO avenge themselves
upon Mr.. Blaine and few days ago the
Herald printed n lengthy special from
Utica, Oneida county, New York, the
stronghold Of the stalwarts, in which it
was stated that if Mr.. Blaine were nomi-
mated the stalwarts, who are more bitter
against him than ever, would step out of
ranks and openly fight him Mr.. Thomas
Wheeler, the alleged Republican leader in
Utica, says that an organization of Re pub
leans would be formed to oppose him.
Some sort Of an agreement may be
reached by which the stawarts will sup
port the enemy of their dead leader, but be-
fore that is done considerable change has
got to take place.

When Col. George T. Fry. of Atlanta,
vain this city few weeks ago, in the
interest of his road between that city and
savannah, the colf le1ce in the success of
his enterprise was not very strong He
himself, however, seemed confident of sue
cess, and it appears he knew what he was
about
He is undoubtedly a man of great deter
mlnation, tact and good judgment. He had
no fortune and was without influential
friends, and yet, with only a charter, he
undertook to build and equip a first-class
railroad from Atlanta to Savannah. He
declares that no has secured the necessary
money, and there is no reason TO doubt that
he has. In few days his engineer will be-
gin to survey the route, which, by the way,
will he through one of the richest sections
of Georgia, and within two years he prom
lses that he will have his road finished
Savannah has splendid railroad prospects
at present. This road of Col. Fry's will be
OF immense assistance TO her, aud there is a
prospect that the Americus, Preston and
Lumpkin road will find its ssaboard outlet
hero. The President of that road was in
O'iS S'iJ a 10" ldSo dsp lOOhiHR lpI IOCd-
ton for terminal facilities He complained
that too much was demanded for place on
the river front, and talked about going to
st. SimOns Island But would it not be wiser
i'll him TO pay 100000 for a terminal
location here than 81 100 at St. Simon's
Here his road would have great business
at once. In fact, the advantages in the
way of business at this port would, in
year, more than pay the cost of a terminal
location. If he will think twice he will
come here. If he cannot get a satisfactory
terminal location anywhere else, he can get
it, doubtless, on Hutchinson's Island.
The Savannah and Western projected
road is still alive, and may, in the near
future, be built, while the friends of the
Columbia and Barnwell enterprise are still
at work at it. Before 1890 Savannah may
have several more railroads.
