coming to the front and its citizens

It is curious until the Gazette inti

should think N. Y. would stand by
her greatest man.
Robertson wss confirmed only four

Washington, "May 21. It is said
that the Democrats hope for a Demo
cratic Senator from New York. In
that case the Dems. will vote for
Conkling.
The Admiinistration is reported as
being desirous of two Republican
Senators in place of Conkling and
Piatt.
Senaters Piatt and Conkling close
their letter to the Governor as follows:
In this instance prominence has been
given to the subject and such distrust
expressed of the correctness of our
positions, that we think it right and
dutiful to submit the matter to the
power to which alone we are bound
and ever ready to bow. The legisla
ture is in session. It is republican in
majority, and New York abounds in
sons quite as able as we to bear her
message and commission in the United
States. With a profound sense of the
obligation we owe. with devotion to
the republican party and its creed of
liberty and right, with reverent attach
ment to the great state whose interests
and honor are dear to us, we hold it
respectable and becoming to make
room for for those who may correct
all errors we have made and interpret
aright all duties we have miscon
ceived. We therefore enclose our
resignations, but hold fast the privil
ege as citizens and republicans to
stand for the constitutional right of
all men's mind, of all representation,
whether of the state, the nation or the
people."

As an individual we care no more
for Conkling in this fight -than for
RoDertson or any one else, and could
we see the plain facts as eur Blaine
friends think they see them, we would
be the strongest Anti Conkling men
in existence. We despise bossism, let
it be Blaine bossism or Conkling or
L Grant bossism. We oppose the power
of patronage, and believe in an honest
civil service reform and a return of
the power of the government, as far
as practicable, to the . people, from
which it has b?en wrested an 1 kept by
Politicians of all parties and both fac
tions. We oppose the use of the offices
of the U. S. for the. private benefit of
Blaine, Conkling, Mr. 'Robertson or
even President Garfield himself. -That
is where we stand, could we see that
Mr. Conkling demanded the collector's
office for his use and then resigned
because he did not get it no language
would be too strong to express our
disapproval.
But the facts show that Badeau was
removed to make room for Merritt
that Robertson might be put there at
the instance of Blaine. Why? that
Baliue might use the state of N. Y. to
further his personal ends and aims
politically, and crush Conkling, a great
Republican leader whom he hated.
Now, why should a cabinet officer
dictate a nomination or a set of nom
inations, to the President any more,
or as much, as a senator?
There's where the President was
lame. If he had said : "hands off, Mr.
Conkling; hands off, Mr. Blaine; I'll
settle this quarrel; this is a National
office and I'll appoint a number one
business man from Nebraska, or Illi
nois, or California;" and had either
kicked, then the whole people should
have stood by the President to a man;
tut when a Maine cabinet officer
practically dictates a New York ap
pointment, of a New York man, over
the New York Senators' heads, if the
great state of N. Y. (?) they tell about
has any pride, she'll return the Sena
tors too quick.
That's the pure political view of it,
and there is no need to extend the
quarrel here.
From the higher standpoint, that in
order to-secure a better civil service,
and that no man should be removed
from his office during his term except
for charges, the whole people are in
terested. Somewhere in this fight the
people want to come in and demand
that their servants shall be honest,
and when found so, and giving satis
faction to fie people whom they more
immediately serve, they shall not be
removed for the personal whims of
any politician, senator, cabinet officer,
or clique w ho want the place.
The whole atmosphere at Washing
ton seems corrupt, and as long as sena
tors and members can use the ofiices
as private perquisites for their pets,
so long the people will have to pay
taxes to support swindling mail con
tractors, surveyors and bosses of a
hundred sorts.
This is the real question that inte
rests the people, and if this present
"unpleasantness" should bring about
a party that would do this, it would
be "good-bye Jack," to the old issues,
once the people understood what it
meant for them.
One other point is noticable and
worthy of attention by the western
farmer.
This fight is not one for reform of
abuses, it is not to curb monopoly
power, or to benefit the masses in any
way. Every man they propose to re
place Conkling with is a Railroad
Attorney, and a corporation man.
Robertson, the leader, is a C. R. R.
Attorney; Depew, their favorite for
Senator, is a relative of the great rail
road magnates and a corporation At
torney. So far no railroad power has ever
gobbled Roscoe Conkling and perhaps
we western men might better "let the
job out" of helping to beat this man
of courage and brains until we ascer
tain, at least, whether he may not be
the friend we need, and the power de
manded at head quarters to stem the
tide of wholesale corruption and giant
wrong-doing complained of by the
toilers and workers of the land.
Washington Notes.
the democratic policy.
Washington, May 21. The demo
cratic leaders are watching the situa
tion at Albany closely, with a view of
getting ono senator if xossible. If
that cannot be done the democratic
members of the New York legislature
will vote with the stalwarts for Conk
ling. A dispatch received here by
prominent democrats from party lead
ers in New York indicate that policy,
and it meets with general democratic
approval here, on the ground that the
democrats should assist to send Conk
ling back to continue his opposition to
the administration. Several promi
nent administration republicans of
New York, who have been here watch
ing the event,, leave to-niglit for
Albany. They spent some time with
Secretary Blaine this morning, and
got the views of the administration in
regard to the New York senatorial
election.
the administration
is desirous of having two i publican
senators in place of Conkling and
Piatt, who will be in harmony with it,
and it is understood this is what Sec
retary Blaine stated to-day together
with advico as to the New York sen
atorial election.

Dispatch. J
Cincinnati, May, May 22.
The public will be surprised to
learn no doubt, that all the New York
appointments made prior to the late
unpleasantness, with the exception of
Robertson, were submitted to Conk
ling and approved by him. It was in
tended, also, to submit them to Sena
tor Piatt, but he being absent from
Washington, Conkling spoke for him,
and associated thus nine offices were
filled to
SUIT THE NEW YORK SENATORS.
Piatt, however, upon his return ob
jected to some of the appointments
but did not kick. The president had
reason to believe, therefore, that the
two Senators were satisfied. The lat
ter, at the same timo were notified
that Robertson would bo appointed
in recognition of the independent in
the republican organization in this
state. This was agreed to by Conk
line, but he asked that he be ap
pointed to some other office than that
of collector. The president did not
assent to this, but for the sake of
peace, he decided to postpone action
in Robertson's case. There was no
need for haste, as Merritt had two
years to serve and was a good officer.
WHO MADE THE MISCHIEF?
But at this time Blaine, another
pretentious statesman, vaulted into
the ring, and claimed that Conkling
was getting everything, and insisted
that i.is side ought to be recoguized.
It is not true that he threatened to
resign, but it is a fact that he precipi
tated the appointment of Robertson
that set Conkling wild. The presi
dent was compelled to stand firm.
Conkling was willing, if Robertson's
name should be- withdrawn, to sup
port the administration. He was,
furthermore, willing that he might
1 e nominated to any other office. But
there was another reason for the
withdrawal of Robertson.
WHY TLATT RESIGNED.
Phitt, as a condition for certain votes
necessary to elect him senator, prom
ieed to vote for the confirmation of
Robertson for any office below that of
a cabinet minister. He was, therefore,
boun 1 to vote for Robertson, if he re
mained in the senate. That would be
a blow to Conkling that he was not
ready to deliver. Therefore, as the
only way of escape, he decided to re
sign, and this forced Conkling to re
sign also. It is known that up to
Saturday night Conkling
nOFED FOR THE WITnDRAWL OF ROB
ERTSON. He sought n interview with the
president to that end, and the latter
agreed that there might be an inter
view on condition that a third party
should te present. Nearly all the
Republican senators were anxious
that Robertson should be withdrawn
and be appointed to some other office,
but' the final interview did not occur,
and the presidetit was immovable.
'I hereupon, the double resignation
was determined upon, and a special
messenger was dispatched with it on
Sunday night. The president, un
questionably in good faith and in the
interest of the party,
SOUGHT TO RECONCILE THE FACTIONS,
and made sacrifices to do it, but oil
and water, or more properly speaking,
fire and water will not mix. In this
vain effort the president made ap
pointments in this stata and else
where that should not have been
made, and after all the fight is on.
This 13 the weak feature on the presi
dent's side. If in all this ugly bust
iness
CIVIL SERVICE REFORMERS
can find evidence of reform they will
be fortunate. In the result so far
Conkling has learned a lesson, but
therein is also a lesson for the presi
dent that he cannot safely disregard.
There are other dangers than those to
be fouud in Conkling's camp, and it
may be, he has found friends who are
at this hour his worst enemies. This
is the view of many prominent Re
publicans here, whose sympathies are
all with tne president. The outcome
of this whole business, as regards the
Republican party will depend, not on
what the president has done near as
much as on what he may do. and the
prayer of all sincere republicans is
tha; he may be wisely directed and
safely delivered from the snares that
so-called friends are spread ing in h's
path.
Nobody will object to seeing Mc
Briiie sent to the Sandwich Islands or

Mr. Conkling's Words.
He pointed to the open boast that
Robertson had over a thousand ap
pointments in his pocket, ready for
use, and then said: "Remember that I,
in compliance with what I regard my
duty, divested myself of all the pres
tige, all the prerogatives belonging to
the office with which I was honored
by my state. I could not to-day assist
my staunchest friend to attain the
humblest posit'on in the gift of the
administration. If you desire me to
be a candidate, I will obey your wish
es, but I cannot give you any other
support but my political reputation,
my name, my republicanism, and my
desire to give my best services to this
great state. For success I must look
to your friendship and the good will
of my fellow republicans."
The prominent New York leaders
then decided that it was best for all
interests that ConkliHg aud Piatt
should enter the contest for re-election.
AT LAST.
The 'ew lork Conference.
PLAN OF BATTLE.
Special Telogram to the Inter Ocean.
New York, May 22. A conference
of stalwart Republicans was held this
afternoon at the residence of Vice
President Arthur. Conkling and
Piatt left the Fifth Avenue Hotel
early in the afternoon and .went di
rectly to the Vice President's house.
Soon after Representative Republi
cans began to gather at the same
place, and only a few were actually
engaged in the conference, but many
were gathered to hear the result and
offer their advice. What transpired
was not given out for publication, but
it is understood that Mr. Conkling ex
hibited a large number of letters and
telegrams affirming his action and
urging him to be a candidate for re
election. It is also understood, that he
announced that he would accede, to
the request, of his friends and be a
candidate, and Mr. Piatt also decided.
Confident assurances were given by
the majority of -those present that he
(Conkling) could be elected without
difficulty. It was also decided that
Conkling and Piatt should go to Al
bany in company.
Will Conkling and Piatt be candi
dates. "Yes, and I believe . "
THET WILL BE ELECTED.
The paper which the half breeds have
got thirty signatures to is merely a
pledge not to vote for candidates op
posed to the administration. It will
not keep any one out of the caucus,
nor prevent anyone from voting for
Conkling and Piatt. They will not
make the contest on the ground of op
position to the administration,
although they will not pledge them
selves to support it Thsy will show
the country that New York stalwarts
and her senators are upheld in refus
ing to be insulted with impunity by
an Ohio politiciau."
THE ADMINISTRATION SIE.
Said an administration Republican:
We expected the result from the
first, but Conkling and Piatt cannot
be elected, and we have fifty two
names of Republican members of the
Legislature pledged not to go into any
caucu3 before which Conkling and
Piatt will be candidates. There are
many who follow the same courso
who do not care to sign. The senti
ment of the true Republicans of the
State is unanimously against the
course of Conkling aud Piatt. It is
the worst kind of State's right doc
trine, aud would breakup the party,
and members of the Legislature who
were elected as 'machine' men will
hesitate before commmitting political
suicide by voting for Conkling and
Piatt. Neither of them can be re
turned again, and there are plenty of
men who can be elected who will rep
resent the State properly, but Conk
ling and Piatt never not even with
the assistance of the Democrats, which
I understand Mr. Conkling is now
seeking."
L. A. CONSTANTINE,
editor of the Evening Post: "It is an
effort of the monopolists to kill Conk
ling off. Gould is in it, and it will be
shown that Blaine is there too. Conk
ling is an honest man has never been
charged with anv jobs or steals since
he has been in office, even by his worst
enemies. The mononolists of the
State are all against him because they
cannot use him."
Conkling further said, personally,
he would rather retire to private life,
he had served the State faithfully for
years, and would prefer to do some
thing for himself; but he was in the
hands of his friends and must abide
the result. He disliked to go to Al
bany particularly but if necessary he
would. He positively refused to I e a
party to any scheme which left Piatt
out, saying that he would staud by
the man that stood by him in demand
ing that the President should respect
the wishes of the State of New York.
CHANGE IN AFFAIRS.
Albany N. Y., May 21. Tiro be
lief is gaining ground here that there
has been an organized conspiracy to
break down the influence and ruin the
character of Senator Conkling, and the
further the investigation goes the
stronger this belief becomes. The
men who are at the head of the anti
Conkling movement throughout the
country are all lukewarm Republicans.
This gives additional backing V the
rumors that the war on Conkling is
really a war ou the Republican party,
and an attempt to resurrect the old
Greeley movement.
Waifs A boat Thiugs.
TAKING THE CHANCES.
Washington, May 18. The Vice
President has not yet given notice to
the senate to elect a uresident pro
tern, this causing considerable talk
among the senators. Should no such
notice be given, the president pro tern
cannot be elected during the recess,
aud until the meeting of the next
congress there will be no speaker of
the house. Should the President and
Vice President both happen to die,
and this Senate adjourn without elect
ing a temporary president that wonld
bring a serious condition of affairs.
Arthur has not signified his purpose
as the temporary president, but some
believe he will call for one yet.
The bitterness' between the Ctnk
lingites and the anti-Conklingites is
even greater than the bitterness
between republicans and dem
ocrats and this is but natural. Par
ties may and do honestly differ; but
factions within parties, is treason to
party.
Take notice, if you please, that Gar
field send for Blaine immediately and
in all haste, after learning about the
resignations. This is important and is
what the lawyers call, circumstantial
evidence, which goes to prove that
Blaine is the power behind the throne.
Will our rebublican contemporaries
admit that there is a fuss in their pol
itical family, or will they still persist
in saying, like old Van did, when he
returned from Washington, "don't be
lieve a word of it; it is all in the dem
ocratic mind's eye; the republicans
are all agreed." Lincoln Democrat.
The Washington correspondent of
the Milwaukee Sentinel savs: "The
piesideut admits now. that he made a
mistake in withdrawing the other
nominations, and he feels would occu
py a much strouger position had he
not been counseled to take the step.
To add to the gravity of the situation.
so far as the President is concerned.
the terrible pressure to which he has
been subjected since he got into the
quarrel is telling upon his health. He
does not sleep well at night, as an in
spired editor chronicled, his eye is dull
his cheeks are pale, his appetite is
gone. I have it direct from one who
called at the White House a few
nights ago that he found the President
in his room with his head bowed and
his hands supporting it. Looking up,
he said, with a feeling of despondency
and almost despair, "My God what
does any man want to be President of
the United States for?"

A significant warning to beer-drinkers
comes from Canton, Ohio, where
in a saloon a young man recently
"mixed drinks" by taking "one glass of
whiskey and two of beer." The tele
gram says that while drinking the
second glass of beer he was noticed to
gasp for breath, and his head fell for
ward on to the counter. Removed to
a kitchen adjoining the saloon, he "re
clined oir some old carpet, and in a
few minutes was a corpse." It is add
ed that at ai autopsy by two physi
ceans his deatli "was found to have
been caused by the fermentation of the
beer in his st tmacJi, causing the forma
tion of carbonic acid gajf which caused
a paralysis of the heart, lungs, and
brain. The victim was also described
as "an unusually healthy and vigorous
young man." This is an impressive
warning against "mixing drinks," or
tampering in any way with either
whiskey or beer.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter
publishes from a medical contributer
a very interesting and suggestive ac
count of a man who whs an habitual
periodical drinker, accustomed to get
upon a two or three weeks spree
every six or eight weeks, and who in
sisted upon being bled freely from the
arm at the end of his spree as a means
of ''sobering up." At one of these
bleed. ngs an attendant holding the
vessel to receive the blood, "was struck
by the odor -of the blood being so
strongly alcoholic, and, concluding to
see for himself if it was alcohol in the
blood, he set the vessel containing the
bloi-d aside for a couple of hours,
when there was found floating upon
the coagulated blood a liquid resem
bling alcohol, and which burned with
the characteristic flame of alcohol."
This is additional and significant evi
der.ee as to the inutility of alcohol as
fcod. .Not only has alcohol no food
value but it is so foreign to the human
body as to work therein serious de-rai-gemf-nt
of its normal functions.

The Height of Follj.
To wait until you are down on your
bed with disease you may not get over
for mouths, i3 the height of folly,
when you might be easily cured dur
ing the early symptoms by luins Par
ker's Ginger Tonic. It costs but a
trifle, can never d any Iiaim, and po
sesses curative properties in the high
est degree. We have known the pal
est, sickliest looking men, women and
children become the rosiest and heal-
tjiiest, from the timely use of tins
pure family medicine. See advertise

Mrs. (Jarfleld's Condition.
Special to thj Evening Telegram.
Washington-, May 211 p. m.
There is no important change in Mrs
Gat field's condition to-day, her fever
being simply a little higher, as is ex
pected on alternate days.
Women Never Think.
If the crabbed old bachelor who ut
tered this sentiment could but witness
the intense thought, deep study and
thorough investigation ot women in
determining the best medicines to
keep their families well, and would
note their sagacity and wisdom in se
lecting Hop Bitters as ths best med
icine, and demonstrating it by keep
ing their families in perpetual health.
at a mere nominal expense, he would
be forced to acknowledge that such
sentiments are baseless and false.
