de3igl > aced as an administrative man or half breed laughter and I was selected because I was denominated a stalwart If to be a stalwart means devotion to the principles and organizations of the republican party I accept the appellation with pleasure Applause If it means that I am anymore any-more thus devoted than my distinguished colleagueto whom you have just listened I am not willing to accept that distinction distinc-tion Applause J Nor I am willing to acknowledge that my cplleigue is anymore any-more or any better administrator than I am Applause I was saying of Thos Jefferson when

grpat state of New York Senator PittsThank God for that Mr Lapham That is an inferior portion of the high duty devolving upon a senator from this imperial state It is a duly which my honorable

CONKLI2CG New York 22This afternoon when Conkling received the dispatch advising him of the election of Lapham at Al bany he immediately sent the following telegram NEW YORK July 22 1881 To Hon James Armstrong Member of the Assembly Albany The heroic constancy of the Spartan band which so long has stood for principle prin-ciple and truth has my deepest gratitude and admiration Borne down by for bidden and abhorrent forces and agencies agen-cies which never before bad sway in the II republican party the memory of their courage and manhood will long live ii the highest honor The near future will vindicate lr wisdom and crown them with approval Please ask them oil for most acknowl me to receive my grateful edgement Signed KOSCOK COKLISG THE PRESS New York 22The Times Last week three of the abject followers of Conkling in the state legislature slipped the collar and yesterday he seems to have removed it from the necks of the rest He had heaped on the republican party all the insult and injury in his power and having proven his impotence succumbed suc-cumbed to the inevitable Republic and the people are therefore in a considerate con-siderate mood but let not the men who have been fighting so long against their plain duty presume too much uprn good nature Their defeat will prevent the republican divisions tbpy did their worst to fproduce Conklinga discomfiture is complete in ovary point He set out to get more patronage and was baffled from the tart New York has two senators cf mediocre ability one of whom is accused of preferring selfinterest to public pub-lic interest but both ure likely to be far more faithful as senators and republicans than their predecessors The Slaats Ztilung cynically doubts whether Conkling or Grant is disposed of or whether Garfield will be a reformer reform-er It is not improbable that republicans will be chastised next fall for the weakness weak-ness of this legislature The Tribune Conkling was about the only disappointed man over the senatorial election last night He was rot ur prised but disappointed that the 5 artan band should consent to elect Lipham He told a friend that he was not responsible for what his friends might do in c nfer ence Garfield republicans have won a laurel which will not fade and it matters not if they yielded in respect to empty forms There is scarcely a probability that Conkling will ever ba heard from again in public aflairs unless the people of the stat have phenomenal short mem ones and marvelous power of forgiveness forgive-ness How can a man possibly say Lap ham makes an advance upon Conkling in anyrespoSt2 The Herald It ia wel for the honor of thefixate and country that the end has comgl The result will be hjuled asp a great Administration vicloryV The jSuiu Neither Lapham nor Miller Mil-ler is a great man so far as they have given us a chance to judge of their size GARFIELD THANKS GOD New York 23 Heralds Washington Washing-ton Garfield has always been told of the important news of the day and today I to-day he was informed of the election of Lapham The President laid with a good deal of fervor Thank God but made no further comment He made the same remark when told of the election of Miller Albany23 Tho legislature adjourned sine die New York23 Times Albany Everyone Every-one of the senators and assemblymen who disregarded the will of their constituents con-stituents and chose rather to obey the behests of a man who had abandoned his trust and betrayed his party should be content with a back seat until he has shown unfeigned repentance and brought ortb fruits worthy Qt iU Of Conkling It say He baa copt me legislature in session two months longer than was necessary ne-cessary for iU legitimate work He has ruined the political prospects of nt least thirty of its members He has alienated ha entire republican party from himself and has failed in every effort he has made either to advance his own interests or to revenue himself bv minnow the party he could not lead Tha Tribune on Conklingo support era Nothing can restore to those members mem-bers Abe measure confidence and respect from their constituents which they once enjoyed Conklinga conduc has alienated alien-ated every friend The men who admired ad-mired him most heartily two months ago are those who feel most keenly the wrong he has done them People have watched his behavior with growing disgust dis-gust Next Conkling the democratic party suffers It has played the tail for him so long and has been wagged so obediently that it will be very difficult hereafter to gain for that party the respect spect oi good citizens The Sun Conkliog has reached the full meridian of life and his recent mistakes mis-takes cannot be overlooked in the generous gener-ous spirit which pardons much of the indiscretion of youth He stands facing a dark if not raylesa future No rainbow of promise spans his sky nor ic the order of nature and in ordinary course of human affairs can he reasonably expect to behold any new morn in his midday |
