ROSCOE CONKLING DEAD.

A Brief History OF the Brilliant Ora
tor, Lawyer and Statesman Who
Died Last week.
Roscoe Conkling was born at Alba
ny, New York, on October 80, 1929.
He was educated for the bar and en-
tered upon the practice of his profes-
sion in 1916, at Utica, with Francis
Herman, with whom he subsequently
served in the United States Senate.
In 1858 he was elected mayor of
Utica, and in the same year member
of the Lower House of Congress. In
1860 he was reelected and in 1862
he was defeated by his former law
partner, Francis Herman.
The first speech that signalized his
ability before the country was in fav-
or of the fourteenth amendment. He
was conspicuous in the eyes of the
nation for his opposition to the Nc
Clelland movement and the Spaulding
Legal Tender Act.
A well remembered historic episode
in his career was the encounter he had
with Blaine in the House. He held
Blaine in great contempt and contin-
ued to do SO to the end.
He was re elected in 1866 and in
1867, before Congress convened, he
was elected to the United States Sen
ate and was reelected twice to this
high post of honor, in 1873 and in
1879.
He was loyal throughout to Presi-
dent Grant and was properly regard
ed as one of his leading supporters and
directors. He was the champion of
the civil rights bill and warmly advo-
Gated the resumption of specie pay
ments.
He never had a strong following
for the Presidency. At the Cincin-
natl convention in 1876, he neverthe-
less received SO votes for the nomina-
ton. He was defeated in his attempt
to secure for President Grant nomi-
nation for the third term at the Chi
cago Convention in 1880.
In 1881 he and President Garfield
disagreed about the disposition of the
spoils of the New York offices, and as
a result he resigned his position as
OCAdGOI anu 1OGuIAOO W Lib oGobO, anu
appealed to the Legislature for a re-
election as vindication of his course,
but through the manipulations of
Blaine he was disappointed whereup-
on he determined to retire from poll
tics and resume the practice of his
profession.
His career as a lawyer was one Sc
ries of great successes. His reputation
grew marvelously. The most impor-
tant and best paying cases fell into his
hands, and he had succeeded in accu-
mulating enough money to pay off his
indebtedness.
His private life was unstained. AT
no time was any of the creokedness
charged against him which had be-
smirched 80 many of his colleagues.

THE TWO HOUSES OF CoNGREss are as
far apart as ever on the question Of site
for the new City Postoilice and neither
of the sites proposed will be agreed upon
in conference. In this contingency
Congress being unable to agree-the
Richardson bill, which leaves the choice
of location to commission, seems to
point the only direct and easy way out
of the difficulty. What we feared when
the removal of the office TO the Pension
building was first suggested, and what
We still fear from such removal Is, that
it will have the effect of delaying action
upon the main proposition and making
this temporary transfer permanency,
much to the inconvenience of citizens,
if not to the disgrace of the Capital. If
it be found that the Pension building
will answer its intended purpose tolera-
bly, well, there is danger that the
Postofice will be allowed TO remain there
indefinitely, which is contingency not
to be entertained with patience. Why
cannot Congress, recognizing great
public necessity, adopt measures for its
relief at once, and no longer dilly-dally
over matter that should have been,
and under the terms of such bill as the
Richardson bill might have been, settled
years ago?
