VI y suSICez etIuSSSS1e III tue republican par
~ that ended IN the humiliation Of Ros
coe ConKling and the defeat Of JamesG
Blaine for president Of the United States
Here are the words. and they are charged
with ndicule, and are model Of excor
iation:
"As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm
hope he will not be too severe. tn,
contempt Of that large-minded gentle
man is SO writing, his naughty disdain
his grandiloquent swell, his majestic, su
pereminent, overpowering turkey COB
bier strut has been SO crushing to myself
and all the members of this house thai
I know it was an act of the greatest te
mcrity for me to venture upon con
troversy with him.
Referring then to a chance newspaper
comparison Of Mr.. Conkling to Henry
Winter Davis (Which he interpreted sar-
castically), he continued.
'sThe gentleman took it seriously, and
it has given his strut additional pompo-
sity. The resemblance is great, it is
striking. Hyperion to a satyr. Thersites
to Hercules, mud to marble, dunghill to
diamond, singed cat to Bengal tiger,
a whining puppy to aroaring lion. Shade
of the mighty Davis, forgive the almost
proclamation of that jocose satire!'
After this there was no chance of re-
Cancellation, and the battle was to the
death. Defeated in 1875, and threatened
with defeat in 1880. Blaine sent his
men to the standard of Garfield, who
was elected. Then came the terrible
struggle over the New York patronage,
which retired Roscoe Conkling and Tho
mas G Plat from the senate, and was
followed shortly afterward by the death
of Gen. Garfield at the hands of the as.
sassin Guiteau. It is believed by many
that these two great men were on the
verge of reconciliation when death
snapped the thread of Roscoe Conkling's
life.
