Show CONKLIHG'S FIGHT. A full report of the speech of Senator Sena-tor Conkling in tho Roobester convention con-vention has come to hand, and indicates what we have before expressed, that the split in the republican repub-lican party of New York is serious, it not irieparablo. Conkling's speech waa able and dignified, but he made little attempt to conceal bia bitter feeling of opposition to the policy of the administration, though he did aot attempt any argument against it. "Administrations," he said, "did not make parties. Parties make administrations, admin-istrations, go before administrations and live with them. The people make parties." He denied that the national administration wished to interfere in-terfere in the proceedings of the convention, but charged that a menacing men-acing and truculent dictation had been made by certain men in newspapers news-papers and elsewhere, and termed them the man-milliners, the dilletante and carpet-knights of politics, who are cracking the whip over republicans republi-cans now and playing schoolmaster to tho republican party, and iU conscience and convictions men whoso ertorts have been expended in denouncing and ridiculing and accusing honest men who, , in etorm and sunshine, in war and peace, have clung to the republican lUg an. defended it against those who tried to trail aud trample it in the dust. Some of thou ar men who, when thev could work themselves into conventions, havo attempted to belittle and befoul republican republi-can administrations and to parade their own thin veneering of purity. Some of them are men who by insisting that it i: corrupt and bad for men in otlico to take part in politics aro (trivicg how to prove that the republican party has been unclean un-clean and vicious all iu life, and lint the last campaign was venal and wrong and fraudulent, not in some of tho slates, but in all the states, north and souiu, for it is no secret that iu ad the states otlk-u-holders in committfies, in organ izstions, and everywhere, did all thai m.-p couid fairly do to uphold thecandidalw of our party, and ihuy were eccouraged and urged to do so. tiome of these worthies masquerade as -eformerg.

And now, oppo-ed or laggard in the b 'it-ties 'it-ties of the pad, tltoy l.'ap forward to the fei.-t. They forget that parli.H are not built up by deportment, or by laly's magazines, or by guib. Mr. Conkling went on in a similar strain, denying that the republicans of New York had made war on the prudent administration, and vindicat ing himself personally lrom the charge. Ho said: On returning home, a few words of (fronting could not he fpoken to neighbors) neigh-bors) and personal friends t both parties without drawing down bitter and scornful scorn-ful denuneinlioiis for not mnking u political speech endorsing tho policy of the administration. Thesa anxious and suporKurvicoablo charncters seem determines! deter-mines! to know nothing but tho president mid hifi p-rty,and them erueilied. To sav a word of things at homo and abroad has been treated as a crime. To say no thieg at all has been to bo reproached or.d vililied constantly. Appeals public pub-lic and private havo been addressed to my neighbors, begging thera not to send me to this convention, and theso appels sUted the no doubt unauthorized pretense that my selection would not ho ugreeable to llio notional authorities. The uietnin'g of all Ibis is not obscured hy tlio fuct that tho new president has been surrounded and courted by moo who have long purred about cvory administration, ad-ministration, some of them for more year than many of you have lived. , fciomo of these disinterested patriots and reidruiors havo bron since the days of Pierce the friends and suitors all of ad ministrations, min-istrations, and tho betrayers of all. The assaults they incite aro somewhat annoy- j ing, and my nature is ono less inclined to meekness und long-tutlering than it ' should bo. It would have boon a luxury to unfrock somo of tho men and tho pur-li poses engnged in this work, but it has seemed to me tho duty of evury sincere republican, especially of ono so deeply indebted as 1 to tho republican party, to endure a great deal rather than say or do anything tending lo introduce division or controversy into tho party ranks. For this reason not a word of reply hts escaped es-caped me. Conkling will have ft good many sympathizers in the repuhlicau party, despite the abuse of him by tho New York press, and in the end perhaps itl will be discovered that Hayes and his Iricnds have exhibited an undue and oflensivo earnestness in pushing the administration policy without regard to the prejudices of tho party or of many of its leading men. |
