interview with A. NJ. Hughes, Jr., chairman
of the republican state executive committee
regarding the failure of Roscoe Conkling to
actively support James G. Blaine in the last
presidential canvas. Hughes facts were
never before made public. Haghes says
Senator Chaffee labored with Conkling and
he latter agreed to announce his support of
Blaine in open letter if Blaine would write
personal letter for his support
Blaine wrote letter which was given to
Walker Blaine to deliver The latter car
ried the letter to ,Tew York, but on his way
to Conkling's house stopped at the national
republican headquarters, mentioning the pur
pose of his presence in New York to Steve
Elkins. b. +. Jones, chairman AMI one OF
two others. The managers decided that it
was best to ignore Conkling and that the let
ter must not reach him. 1t was suppressed
and the animosity of Conkling was intensi-
fed at the additional affront, and Blaine lost
