was variously described as apoplexy or sun

by the two or three Jersey delegates who
favored Mr. Conkllng, nnd theso, heating
(hat Dr. Newell had expressed a fear that
the effects of such a "stroke" ns Mr.
Illalne hnd suffered might scrlous'y nnd
permanently affect his mental faculties, saw
an opportunity, as they thought, to help
their candidate. They secured a confer
ence with the delegation, and, when It hnd
met. they called upon tho ex-govcrnrr to
give hln opinion, as a medical man, as to
whether. In the cltciinistnnces, It would bo
prudent to nominate tho Maine statesman.
The answer, given with extreme reluctance

was In the negative. Mr. Blaine's hold up-n

broken, but their votes ultimately went, not
to Mr Conkllng. but to Mr. Hayes. Those
