WHY ROSCOE coNKLlNG QUIT.
Attack on His Home and Family
Caused Him to Resign.

In the lobby Of the New Willard I
found an elderly gentleman who had
been Il friend of Roscoe COukling. He
sad:
1t does not seem like Washington
to me without Roscoe Conkling. I
miss that imperious form stalking
above the avenues. Never he con
tiuued. can forget the day that Ros'
coe ConEling resigned. There was
great excitement over President Gar
fields appointment of the New York
collector OF the port. and that was
the last straw that decided COnkling
to act. His feud with Blaine was then
at its height. and as Roscoe Couk-
ling sat that morning in his accus-
toned place. it was noticed that his
face was paler than usual as he
pointed out a newspaper paragraph.
81 can bear it all until it comes to
that, he said. When they attack my
home and my wife that is the end of
ness of my family life is trailed in
the dust, that is too much am
going home, never to return here
Tears glisteued in his eyes as he
pushed back the hair from his fore
head and said: Now | am going home
to earn money in my profession and
pay the debts that have accumulated
while I have bccu trying TO help
friends
'IIe retired from public life. and it
was a great satisfaction to him that he
paid $4,000 Of accumulated debts
within one year; no lawyer at that
time could command a higher fee than
