ROSCOE CONKLING DEAD.

New York state lost one Of her most
conspicuous sons when Roscoe Conkling
laid down his life burdens at 100 o'clock
this morning. and passed out OF the
present into the unknown that We call
future. Surrounded by his sorrowing
family and friends, the able lawyer and
former statesman passed away, scarcely
conscious to all appearances Of the
change within or of the weeping ones
around his couch. His death was d.
rectly due to settling Of the blood AT the
base of his lungs; indirectly due to that
terrible battle with the great New York
storm of last month, in which he battled
for hours and out of which he emerged
exhausted, only to find that the severe
wind and cold, and great strain upon
lungs, and heart. and head, in that life
and death struggle, had caused an ab-
soess in his brain and sapped the very
foundations Of his life.

MAYOR HEWITT, Of New York, is after
the Albany Legislature with an urgent
appeal, W hich Is as much demand as an
appeal, for such appropriations as will
put the New York quarantine stations
in good condition and furnish them with
effective appliances for battling with the
epidemics which threaten the country
this year. There is nothing at all mesly-
mounted about the mayor, and he sets
the cold facts before that assembly In .
way to make them understand that the
matter is urgent and vital. The mayor
also asks that the legislature transfer
the authority Of dealing with the whole
subject to the New York municipality
and 80 confer upon them the power and
the responsibility Of the whole matter.
No more important subject than that OF
quarantine at the principal ports OF en-
try in the United States could be con-
sidered, and the country at large will
watch with no little interest the steps
taken by the legislature of New York In
this matter.

Roscoe Conkling was born at Albany.
N. Y, on the 30th of October, 1929; was
educated at an academy Ia his native
city. At II years OF age he entered an
office in Utica. and before he had
reached his majority was appointed dis
trict attorney of Oneida county. Be-
fore he was 30 years of age he had won
reputation as an advocate, become a
recognized leader of his party in New
York, and been elected to the United
States congress. Having married sis
ter Of ex-GOv. Seymour, he made his
home in the city of Utica, of which he
became mayor in 1853. He was elected
to the thirty-sixth congress, taking his
seat in December, 1853; was reelected
the following year, and entered the
special session called by President Lin
coin, July 4th, 1861.
In the autumn of 1866 MIR. Conkling
was chosen United States senator, as
suming his duties on the 4th of March,
1867. He was reelected in 1873 and
again in 1879. In the difficulties follow
the presidential election OF 1876. Mr..
Conkling took conspicuous part, notab-
ly in the framing and passage Of the cleo
toral commission act. He resign d
from the senate in 1880. After his retire.
ment to private life he devoted himself
to the practice OF law, making New Y ork
his residence.
He has taken no open part in polite 9
since that time, outside OF his NOV, =
ments In the national conventions of his
party. He has rendered himself con-
spicuous by his deadly hostility to James
@ Blaine, the eminent republican leader
and statesman, whose defeat for two
nominations and one election, as presi-
Dental candidate, was directly owing
to Mr.. COnkling's sntagonism. MIR.
Conkling has ever been more cons picu-
GUS for his influence in the councils Of
the republican party and in congress
than for any special services he has
rendered. Representing for so many
years and during so critical a period the
great Empire state, his very posi-
ton was as commanding as was
his fine personal presence. His
family alliance with that great head Of
the democratic party in New York state
during his life time. Horstio Seymour.
gave Mr.. COnkling at times an influence
and support outside OF strict party
lines that was not unfelt, though unseen.
Mr.. Cohkling's great strength lay how
ever in his reticence, in his exclusive
ness, and in his incorruptibility. Like
his brother-in-law. Seymour, he was
above suspicion OF corruption and never
was his name mentioned in connection
with any questionable transactions.
He was one of Grants most intimate
personal friends, and was a warm
admirer and hearty supporter OF
Vice-President Arthur for the nomina-
ton OF the republican party IN 1884,
One speech from him that campaign
would have saved New York state to
the republican party, and elected Mr..
Blaine. 1t was not spoken and four
years of democratic rule have follow e !.
1t is not without cause that the demo-
cratic eulOgies Of this once conspicuous
republican are hearty and general. But
he is dead. His virtues will be oherish-
ed and his record as republican rt-
membered when his OBJECTIONS to his

WEDNESDAY, APRIL. 10. '88.
HARMONY is INDISPENSABLE. q
The states are falling into line for the

The states are falling into line for the
Chicago convention, each with.it own
candidate. Indiana has two men 10 the
field, Harrison and Gresham. Harrison
Is first choice Of the state, and many who
are acquainted with the situation think
that there is an eternal antagonism be-
tween these men and their followers.
Mr.. Harrison has long been the most
conspicuous republican In the state. and
his friends resent the bringing forward
of Mr.. Greshsm's name at this juncture,
when there seems to be...a possibility OF
the nomination going to Harrison. 1t is
argued that there will be war to the
knife and the knife to the hilt between
these factions, but the opinions of the
best informed journals OF Ohio do not 80
see matters, and In the farther east
different view ia taken. The Springfield,
Mass, Republican, a conservative jour-
nal and one usually very careful in for
mulstlng opinions, speaking of the In-
diana situation says:
There seems to be little doubt that
the Indiana republicans will send a
solid Harrison delegation to Chicago.
But II Harrison's claims cannot be i'm
pressed on the convention, and II u
strong Gresham feeling develops there,
all Of Indiana's thirty votes are expected
to be pumped for Gresham. John B.
and firm friend ls 10 favor of doing
just that"
1t would certainly be wiser for
Indiana republicans to stand ready to
take advantage OF whatever chances
may come her way than to antagonize
them by any petty jealousies among
themselves. Indiana is one OF the close
states this year and no republican nomi-
nation will be made of an Indit ma man :,
II such nomination will only engender
strife where harmony and union and
hard work are indispensable to success.
The Republicans are able to defeat any
candidate that the democracy can bring
into the field this campaign, ii they are
not divided In their own councils. The
candidate who can harmonic all
factions Of the party and who will bring
to the support of his candidacy the unit
ed strength Of all republican elements,
everywhere, is the candidate to be
sought for at Chicago. Let the conven-
ton nominate such a man and his
election is as certain as death and taxes,
