Ills A SPRAY Dashed Up From the 8ndy Shore. A Curious Interview With a New York Democrat Opinions of Conkling, Arthur, Laphan, UiBer and Other Politician. With an Inside View ofThlngt Generally In Both Parties.

SrECTAt DISPATCH TO TBI KratrtKca. Losa Bkakch, July 27. Good Democratic confession is good for the soul. Thomas J. Creamer, once State Senator, Congressman, c.

from New York, gave the following views at Long Branch last Son-day: "What do you think of th two newly elected Republican Senators?" "Pretty good men. Yet when they cam forward finally as probable to be elected, hardly a member of the Legislature knew whioh town and county either of them resided in. Miller Is probably to be the better bslf of the He hiss Independent views, which he does not hesitate to advance, yet bas real modesty. He was a steady advocate in the Legislature or taxing church property. It might have beeu urged sgainst him hud be been elected Senator by the people, but in the Legislature was no bar at all.

was tbe man who mort prominently elected Sloan Speaker of the Assembly. Sloan returned In kind by making Miller's campaign for the Senate. Miller Is a fine-looking man, fully six fet. I should say, oMd Is the first of her soldier Sew York has put in the Senate sine tb war. We have had as Senators Morgan, Ira Harris, Feu ton, Conkling, Ker-nan, Piatt," not a mother's son of them who ever sbot off any thing louder than a speech.

Miller' is a soldier, and a fine organizing politician. Mr. Lapbam is a good high liver, good lawyer, and greatly beloved by his neighbors in tbe ancient Massachusetts town of Canandaiguo. Lspham ought to make a learned Senator In law things, Miller a keen oue." "What do you think of the extinction of tbo Conkling faction?" "I always despised Conkling. There area few faces In this world good to study character from.

His Is one of them. Look at it! Isn't the overruling expression meonneMf He has been making use of Geueral Arthur through this campaign, and yet abusing him. I was In Albany the night he assaulted Arthur for not being able to elect him, and afterward paraded arm in arm with him: You see Conkling went up there and had orders issued to call up all his office-holders from, the Custom-house to put him through for a re-election. They came op. the Bicllns and the O'Briens, and all tbatclass of Assembly men, who.

while running toe Assembly are perfectly lost in a Legislature. They made his cause look so contemptible that Conkling sent them bom again. Then he found he hadn't auy thing to do, but work with tbe machine had created just each a set of nobodies as that, and gone rro' higher; whereupon he pitched -into Arthur. Now, Arthur owes all that he bos to this man down the road at Long Branch Marphy. Murphy got him Into the Tax Office aeattor-uey for the Commissioners, wbee be began.

When tbe Union League passed resolutions against Murphy as Collector of the Port he got Grant to nominate Arthur. It 'is true that Coukling helped, bnt only to cover his own men. Arthur was not bis choice. He did not want him to take the place for Vice-President. Left to himself Arthur will do very well.

It la only when he Is with Conkling that be goes wrong." Mr. Creamer stopped a mlnnte and said: 'Meanness is as characteristic of Coukling's works as of his face. I have heard his agents in the job laugh often over the way they had Feutou robbed of his patronage In New York by Grant. A number of rh Conkling crowd were sent over to Williamsburg to organizes meeting and have it reported, and they passed resolutions iu favor of Reuben E. Feutou for President.

As soon as Grant saw it, he stopped speaking to Fenton and Conkling, got tbe whole patronage of New York. Such were the creat talents tney talk about ou which he has beeu successful." "Mr. Creamer, does the reputation of the Legislature with the Republican unity rather give the State to that party?" "I do not see any thine tbat will give them the State," said. Mi. Creamer, "but the popular sympathy with this man at Washington.

Garfield. Pity and admiration for him while lying on. his bed or death has rather overflowed party lines. New York is Democratic. This past session of the Legislature and all It scandals have certainly made no Repablican votes." "Well, sir.

who are now the leaders of the Democratic party In New York?" "The party has none. The old men are all selfish, and this machine system that Kelly bus kept up has prevented new meu coming lo the front. Look at Horatio Seymour! Too selfish to come twenty mlles-in the year 1871) to give uulty to a Convention ot his party. He has never opened his mouth against any monopoly in the Slate, perhaps because bis interests lie that way. You don't hear his voice on any question of the hour.

He Is very tcood to go around making speeches before mil meu and butter farmers. In 1SC3 be came down to New York and made a speech declaring the war a failure when there were one hundred thousand soldiers on the battle-field to make It a success, I don't think, we want any more of that kind or statesmen. On the other hand, wille the old men were blundering or timid, the chaps raised up by these city machines have never had either the character or ability to take charge of the fortunes of the party. I suppose tuat General Slocum is about as prominent as auy mun we have remaiuing. But he is very obnoxious to the Boss of Brooklyn.

That was-a grand soeUe." said Mr. Creamer, "at the Syracu-ie Convention two years ago, when we had John Kelly lu one room and Boss McLaughlin in the next room, and every body in tbe Convention imploring them to open the door and speak to each other, for the sake of tho purty, and neither man would do it. About the best maiiagiiiu head in the Democratic party." said Creamer, "is William C. Kingsley. of BrooVIyn.

We have the voters in New York State." "yhat Influence, Mr. Creamer, has John Kelly?" "Well, he has the key ot Tammany HalL I mean, he carsies the key to the door in his pocket. That is about the wools of It. His moral influence there is very small. He has played all lUe different tuues to get votes.

Xhe poor old Cardinal, who is an upright man and knows nothing about politics, together with the general Catholic Influence, has been silly enough tif suppose thai Mr. Kelly was being persecuted because he was of the faith. That was the argument which got him th big vote when he ran against Governor Robinson. It only shows how ecclesiastics of all Churches can be deceived by politicians. Before.

Kelly came Into power the Catiajlio Benevolent Societies, charities, 4c, were iu receipt of large appropriations. He has takeu care of noue of them. But be has not omitted to make Fernando' Wood and Sunset Cox put bis connections and kin on the Government, or wherever they could." "What sort of Mayor baa Grace made, Mr. Creamer?" "If he goes along as he bas begun he will torn out on of tbe best Mayors New Yon lms had. He is a good business man, and goes light on with the work of his office lu a business way.

There Is satisfaction through all ranks with his work. Kelly went to him and wanted htm to appoint a lot of Republican jToinmtssiouers in fulfillment of some con tract, or to continue swaps witn tne nepu oilcans In polities. Th Mayor said 'Why. Mr. Kelly, I did not get any Republican I did not get all th Democratic votes tbat belonged to me.

I was just barely elected. I can not make nominations like hereupon Mr. Kelly turned around aud called him an tnarate." "Hss Judge Donohn got any political lnno- ence?" Yes: nonsiderable.

Secrtlar Blaine came iu the and Mrs. Iau-Vaach, who speut last night at the Whit House, called in the afternoon. They went away" after a very short stay, being aisaired that every thing there was as satisfactory as could be, and that tbe President was doing remarkably-well. CUrksoD N. potter, of New York, also called his afternoon, and be was followed shortly by Itepresentativ Kasaou and Kx-Senato Timothy O.

Howe, tta latter of whom had fast re turned from the Paris Monetary Conference. Ex-Senator Howe told Mr. Brown that be had promlsad as soou as be arrlvsu in Waslilngtou to send a dispateh to his friends iu Paris as to the President's condition, in order that, the in formation rulgnt be distributed IhroiuU the American Colony. Mr. Howe called Pr.

Bliss in, and Mr. How sent a very reassuring rues- saee after talk I nit to that doctor. After tb ending the message Mr. How saPJ it was almost Impossible to get news of tht President's condition at Paris or London through the daily papers. The account they published were very meager aud very indideieut, aud; altogether unsatisfactory.

Outside of these calln aud Representative Desendorr, of Virginia, there were not more than one-halt a dozeia at the White House during the day. Tb bulletins were so satisfactory tnat no anxiety was cre ated, aud the of the stock-Jobbing stories of' yesterday tended to rssuribg all Washington that the President wiis again In a very favorable oonuition.

He was the recipient to-djiy by ex press, personally marked to him. three bed steads, patented, with tbe request that he try them and have them used In the President's bed-chamber. General Hwaim directed thatth patent bed stead be stored: down stairs lu tle general lumber-room. At the same time he said: My (iod, if the President could have used every thing that has been sent him, Arthur would haV been President over two weeks auo." Colonel Rockwell was in attendanee to-day. as usual, and he also spread the infection hope.

Crunfp. who had been with the President last "uight. and who did not leave him thus afternoon, said that 1m his opinion', and he is' a practiced, nurse, the President was really'in as good condition as be was before the recent relapse. It is thought by the physicians and nurses that the President ha passed the most dau- gerous point of his that, as is usual in the history of such cases, there will be a steady Improvement unchecked, except by some unexpected complication that may arise. Secretary Blaine telegraphed this afternoon to Minister Lowell thm tbe President's condi tion was greatly Improved, and that his appetite was good, and his sleep last night refreshing.

That sensational story about tbe President being at one time regarded as about to die. nod tbe Vice-Presideut being on hand with a Justice of the Hupreme Court ready to swear la tbe new President lacks only on essential element that of truth. Since the two days Immediately succeeding the shot of the doctors have never despaired of tbe President's life, and certainly nothing that indi cated the slightest foundation for the story above mentioned has ever occurred. Mrs. Garfield still bears up with remarkable pluck endurance.

She has never lost faitu in the President's reeovery at the gloom iesthour. Last Sunday and again yesterday she told Mrs. MacVeagh that she coald only repeat what she had said heretofore, that the President would not die. but that he would live. has been very anxious during the past few days, but not in the least ill.

She felt brighter this morning and in! better spirits than at any time since she herself was taken sick. The ride which she took lost evening greatly refreshed her, and tbe good news from the sick-room seemed to give her additianal strength. Every thing nbont the-White House to-night was remarkably utiiet, The President's Prl ate Secretary left very early In the evening, and Mr. Pruder, his Assistant Hecrefsry, remained in charge. The House was closed at eleven o'clock.

All the members of the Cabinet called during the eveulng, some of them accompanied by their wives. Secretaries Kirk wood and Lincoln came out of the Cabinet-room about ten o'clock, after a consultation with Dr. Bliss aud ln Woodward. Secretary Kirk wood said: "The President Is doing very welL Everything Is very and Secretary Windom added: "The doctors say that there is no doubt that rhe favorable conditions will continue." Tbe President bad no lever to night. Dr.

Hamilton arrived on the 10:10 p. train. He was met at the depot by Dr. Bliss. He went to the Whit House and visited the sick room for a moment.

Returning from tbe sick-room he nnd Dr. Bliss stepped into the library, aud the latter briefly fbld him the events of tbe day, and gave all that had been done and the symptoms of the patient. Dr. Hamilton expressed himself as satisfied, and was about leaving when Mrs. Garfield requested his attendance, aud he met her.

He told her that he wus more than ever rcauired. and was confident that the President wuld reeover. He said that as the President was sleeping so quietly he did not ibinlr lit uecessary or advisable to disturb him in order that he" might make a fuller examination, but was satisfied with what Or. Bliss had told him. Dr.

Bliss said shortly afterwards to your correspondent: The President Is better to-night than at auy uight at the same time since he received the wound. He is sleeping quietly. There has been no fever, and no symptoms of a re currence of rigor. I cau only repeat what I said last that the President will icet well. That covers the whole case." It is understood that the operation of'yester- d'iy morning was not confined to the extrac tion or the splinters of the ribs, but also ln-elbded an examination to locate the bill.

It is believed that the doctors have succeeded In flxinit the locality, but that as It Is unneces sary to siinounoc the result of that examination they nave been very relieent on the subject. They will say nothing about it pr. Barnes and Dr. Woodward will have the watch to-night, and for the first time tomorrow morning tne bulletin wlll be signed by Dr. Hamilton.

There was a man at the White Hons gates to-day who did uot get in. He had a bottle with an arrangement somewhat complex attached. By the ns of this apparatus he was confident that all the pus and all particles of the broken rib could, by suction, be taken mm the President, aud that after it appli cation he would at once begin to recover and. rapidly resume his former health. The following was sent to-nigui Dy tue oec- rehiry of State: "To Ixiwkl.l..

PKCIAI. MIMTCI TO TBI CNQCTBC. Nfw York, July 7. The Stock market, although exceedingly lrreicular; has beeu. In the maiu, higher, with aTlrmer tone to the dealings, than has prevailed foe-several days past.

At 'the opening prices were somewhat higher, but afterward there was a decline in the general list of il3 per cent. This was followed by an advance of per cent. Iu some few oases the fluctuations were much wider, especially In some of the low-priced fancies, and Louisville, New Albany and Chicago dropped 6 per cent. In tbe final dealings there wss an approach to buoyancy in tbe stock market, and still higher prices were mode. The advance for the day was not only general, but quite decided in some instances, particularly so in the case of the fancy stocks which recently declined sharply.

This marked change for the better in the share speculation was due, first to the improved condition of Presldeol Garfield, and second, to the very large purchases by some or the prominent bears. Tbe future of the market depends largely upon the action of these bears. If In the Immediate future they throw overboard the stocks they bought today, then another decline is likely to ensue, but if they lutend to make a short bull campaign then a further Improvement will take place. The strongest stocks were the Vanderbilt shares, the South-westerns, Denver and Rio Grande, Union Pacific and Western L'nion. The strength of 'this afternoon's market Is said to be due to the report that at a meeting of the coal managers It was resolved to work full time at the mines during the month of August.

Large blocks Of Jersey Ceulral were covered by the bears. At a conference of the managers of the Mutual Union Telegraph Company held here to-day it was resolved to open offices at once in all the Important Eastern cities for commercial business. Messages will then be received from she public for all points between Wusuinglon and Boston, and it Is expected that early connection with Chicago, Cincinnati and the other Western cities will be made lu September. It was stated In the Board this afternoon that Mr. Keene had reversed his position on Jersey Central, having covered up his short Interest aud gone long.

The officials of the Company declare the earolnspi this year will reach 10 per cent, net on the slock. Holders of stocks think that owing to the vastly oversold condition of the market, the great borrowing demand and the ease In money a harp upward turn may tak place In th market at apy time. Some 'of th brokers, claim tuat though a great amount of long stocks were sold out yesterday folly fifty thousand s'hares of shorts were carried up, and that most of th bear traders in the room took lu their stocks. It wo stated that Mr. Keene bad probably not covered up any of bJs line except Canada Southern, and that Lis brokers yesterday sold Jersey Central, Western Union and Missouri Pacific.

One of tbe largest commission bouses In tb street was to-day advising customers to begin I'uy upon a large scale certain slocks which have already fallen from 15 to 20 points.

He became a politician, and at oue lime in the flush days of 1870 was thought to be worth flOoe in real estate. Th ever, lu the succeeding fear, aud the taxes ruined Mr. Creamer.

"What, were you doiag at Albany atx week during the Senatorial BbtT" I asked. "I had candidate." he said, "whom I was wanting to pat in. it th Republicans wer willing to concede one of the seats to a Democrat. Tbe lime, however, never arrived." "Did yon talk) with any of th en." said "who peeped over the tranaoae- where Tom Piatt wa Imprisoned at tbe DehMaf taoel "You can net and any of those sa3d Mr. Creamer, la point of fact, a goed many respectable men were there wbo are now ashamed )f at, and wbo never would have gun thare-tf tbey supposed they would nave seen any ifeliig of that character.

Al Daggett, whom John tanerman put In charge of his patronage In Brooklyn, aud who run the Sherman ntocaiii tn New York Stale, was the' ni an who-discovered Piatt. It is hardly the proper tbina to tell," said Mr. Creamer, "bat for enrs It has been the bablt at tb Delavan Hons (or certain of the rougher members to keep la their pay tbe negro man wbo attends to tb ladles' room. Into tbat room go many women to see members of the Legislature. Someof them are not as good as they might be.

The negro ia charge of that room reported to Daggett that there was a rather fine-looking woman in there waiting ror somebody. Daggett, indeed, rather had in fee the whole servant force of the hotel. When tbey would answer a bell and go back he would say: Is in No. or "Whom did you see end what did you hear in No. 300?" In this way Daggett got news that the mysterious woman who been around tbe waiting-room and stopped In number blank bad received Mr.

Platt in that room. Thereupon Daggett sent for th members of the Ualf-Breedald and made tbe revelation. Belug from Brooklyn, of course Daggett wa up to that kind of discovery yet when Plait's sou went to Albany all th Half-Breeds told him that It was a mere conspiracy against his father." "Is it trae tnat Coukling is out with Governor Cornell "Yes. Cernell owe blm nothing. It was Cornell' father ho elected C'onkllug to the Senate th first time.

I wa Albany and familiar with the fact. Eara Cornell, the father of Governor Cornell, was th principal smi In the telearaph interest in the United States. He waa a very rich and substantial nsan toabe iu the Legislature. At his aide sat Aedrew. While, of syraeus.

White was an. amiable man. of a large fortune, highly educated and a most persuaalve speaker. sra Cornell said to While: 'Let us put up Bosooe At that lini there had been a good deal of scandal in- the Slate aud la -the Republican party, and there' was a disposition to elect some Senator who was against Seward. We all understood that White was to go out of th Senate aod be President of Cornt-11 University, which Cornell bad founded, even to the extent In generosity of taking his son's estate.

Andrew White made the wpeecb demanding UonkUnp4a be put up. It. is not true that Conklin was elected without the use of money. took about $25,000 to elect blm. and tbe uudetstaudtBg at Albany was that th money olme from tbe Cornell party.

The Senate wis opposed to Noah while the Aasembljiwas for him. Davis' half-brother. Barber, tSV lobbyist, no came from Utlca, wus figeting Conkling bard.

Hia name bad become prominent at Cincinnati when tbat waa discovered, and Immediately tbe Democrats began to run' away from him. probably remembering their unfortunate experience when tbey ran Kernaa for Governor seven years ago." "Mr. Creamer, who la going to be tbe next Democratic, nominee? "I can't tell you who," said Creamer, "but I cau tell yon bow a Democratic President can ee slewed. Let the Democrat this fall nom inate ir Attorney-General of New York a man who will follow np the example of Ham ilton Ward, tbe present Attorney-General, in bia overhauling of the big corporation.

Ward has only strhek one of tbem. tbe Manhattan Elevated Railroad, and he baa made Ijwm pay over three years ot back taxes. Nw, If that can be done all over the United States our towns and cities will nearly get out of debt, aud the corporations wblcb have re fused to pay the taxes will tak off slioul- der of the people what the people have been paving for tbe corporation. Then let such a man with a bold record be nominated for Governor the fall succeeding. By that tim be will be formidable enough to attract the attention of tbe country, and be can sweep the United State.

There are several sucb men In tne Stat of New York on the Democratic side." Among other things Mr. Creamer said was that the office of Judge bad become so cor ruptible that whenever a man could assure thesn a Wall street of his ability to oeelected and nominated the financial powers there would always raise for him. Mr. Creamer 41 that he never saw a man with such bad lieutenants as Blaine. "Senator Frye," said Creamer, "could not do more In New York than practice law before one of our ordinary District Judges, and as for little Hale his proper place at the bar here would be before one of the Civil Justices who are confined to the trial of cases of not more than 1100 at slake.

Looking at such Senators as those." said Creamer, "I think pretty well on tli whole of Lapharu'and Miller." Mr. Chauncey Depew, speaking to me ot tbe election of Lapbam and Miller to the Senate, said: "It is very remarkable that the Democrats in the Legislature did not enter luto a trade with Conkling. It has probably been sagacious counsel that kept them front doing so, yet tbe temptation waa all the other way. A large number of tbem thought they had a pretty sure thing to send Conkling back, and with him a Democrat. The charge has been made that Coukling was ready to sacrifice his party and give that seat to be returned.

Whether it be true or not, a large elcmeutof the Democrats In the Legislature believed that chance was open to thom. Then ciey could organize the Senate, which wodld give them not ouly the pntronace of tbe Senate Chamber, but a very material power over the President's nominations. Nevertheless there was a certain handful of Democrats there, led by Senator Jauolis, the same in as who was voted for by his parry for Senator, who refused under any circumstances to con tribute votes to a Republican. Those men bad it well understood thai they would siay out of the Legislature and let two Repub licans be elected rather than swap-votes and support Ooakllng. Suppose they hod done so? The Democrats would have had the or ganisation of Uie Senate, but It would have ir ade a national scandal and in New York Stat would have allied the unpopularity of Conkling to the Democrats, aud burned them both together." Said "Mr.

Depew, dont yon think that Conkling regrets that he ever resigned his seat in tbeSenate?" I should think so," said the eminent law yer, laughing. "Aud yet 1 am pretty well satisfied, from what I hear, that It was Platt wbo made the suggestion into which Conkling full. It was Piatt who started the Idea of their both resigning. Platt had business to attend to, and the countenance of the Admin istration was against them, and the dramatic idea of two resignations from the same State, aud tbat a State as big as New York, struck Conkling as a perfect thunderbolt." A gentleman present asked Depew why the Republicaus.wheu they united at Albany, did not pick out two bigger men than Lup bam and Miller, and spoke of Evarts.Wheeler and some others. Ob, well," said Mr.

Depew, "Int contest of ter feeling between tiie very prominent candidates who lead oft', it is apt to iiappen in a case like thut before the New York Legislature that the candidate originally de sired Is beaten by tbe slrennousness of this antagonism. The rally was made against me. supposing I bad the mot strength, aud it was thought that if I could be put out of the way no choice could be made among the subordiuule competitors. But Mr. Miller had brought twelve voles to my support, aud held them there loyally ns lone as 1 was in the field.

Mr. Laphaiu. although Stalwart, had a certain number of votes, which he brought up aud put in the common stock. He and his men were just as firm and tiue us Miller. Tbey consequently got the reward of that fidelity when I withdrew and oilier selections, were made." "You must have knowu Mr.

Coukling many years, Mr. Depew?" "Yes, I have known him ever since he came Into public life, or nearly so. Twenty years ago he was much suck looking man as now, always handsome, intense aud aggreive. He had a quality in those days be no longer possesses enthusiasm. He was aljaay strong iu personalities aud iu Invective, and with talent not to be disputed.

I heard blm speak more thau ouce against the debasing influence of rings. He was then lighting tbe Weed ring, of which Mr. Seward waa tbe ornamental capstone perhaps, though the manipulation was Weed's. Conkling said that its example was fatal to tbe moral character of young men; that the machine Into which they must enter single file aud recommend themselves by some debasing act, and then go up from point to point still In the slavery of the same machine, was dreadful to public morals. Time passed along and Me.

Coukling made us a machine," rather putting Into a liberal light any thing we had known before, at least on the Republican side of things." Reference was made to the newspaper press In the fight with Conkliug. "It was the press," said Mr. Depew, beat him. It is true that be had newspapers in his favor, bnt the overwhelmine voice of tbe press embodied Ui disposition of tbe voters, and made It palpable to tbe politicians, at the same time glviux and receiving It from the voters' strength. Conkling used his part of the press to the best his ability, but the upright voice of the press was what broke blm up." Oath.

Intelligence was received here to-day of the assassiuatiou in the eastern part of Giles County ot James Good rum, while reciting a Latin lesson to Professor Dwyr. He was shot in the left side, near the heart, and instantly killed. W. W. Res has been arrested on suspicion.

Thereupon an adjournment was obtained, aud during that Interval the money was used as aforesaid.

Therefore I say that Governor Cornell owes Coi'kllug nothing." "Was Cornell desirous to be elected Senator?" "Yea, he wanted it. aud was bealeu by a very little thiug. Iu the nick of tluue there were tour votes anions the Stalwarts beioug-lng to Cornell which he had proposed to hand over. One of the four meu so ready to vote was overheard to say that the man oh the hill bad told him on the next ballot vote for Miller. Thereupon a personal enemy of Cornell named Rockwell, who wasaHalf-Breed, attempted to bolt and demand a caucus, because he said thut Cornell wus trading votes on the Senatorsliip to get certain of his friends confirmed as Harbormasters, fBy the way," said Mr.

Creamer, "Andrew While is the man wholought to have beeu oue fjf the Senators from New York Stute. aud I wonder that he was overlooked." "What ar Arthur's relations with Conkling now?" "I dont think they are as close as before. There is no doubt thut Conkling abused Arthur just after he came to Albauy. 1 was present," said Mr. Creamer, "at a dinner at the nouse ef Thomas Murphy when Arthur was under discussiou, and the proposition was made to' make him counsel- to the Tax Commission.

My opinion of Arthur is good. Though he is not a very profound man. he has a rather level head, and a very good heart, mdeed. Although be Is convivial, I never saw him under the Influence of" liquor. I knew his father, the old Baptist preacher, and he was a fine old man.

Arthur was very kind to bis father, and they thought a great deal of each other." "What view do you take of Crowley, wbo was Arthur's candidate for Senator?" "I never thouuht he was much of a man of talent. He is pretty quick with his tougue. i remember once in the State Senate when Folger, now our Chief-Justice, was, antagonized by Crowley on a qnestlon of validating an isete of fraudulent railroad bonds by the Fisk crowd. Crowley took issue and said that he had learned th law at the feet of Senator Folger. There is where you ought to said gesturing downward.

'At my feet, sir, now, as "One of the cleverest men to beat Conkllijg in thl late fight," said Creamer, "was Senator Pitta, of Orleans County." "Do you think, Mr. Creamer, that Conkling Is the equal of Blaine In public ab illty." "By no means. Conkline's abilities are very limited, though Intense. He has no stomach to discuss general question of legislation. He does not enjoy public life as Blaine does.

Blaine is a hearty trae mau to hi friends; Coukling 1 just the contrary. Look at the attitude of Blaine after the Chicago Convention. Me threw np his seat in the Senate and his career to gd Into Garfield Cabinet and take care of hi friends. Conkling resigned his. seat la the Senatethereby sacrificing very friend had.

Blaine ia magnanimous. If Conkling bad been sensible enough, to have renewed, agreeable relation with Blain I bav no4 doubt that Blaine would have gun to work for blm lu tlin and hlp to make him President, But eaten no with spite, jealousy and meanness, Coukling kept that fight open only tor tb purpose of preventing the Stat of New York ever supporting Blaine for President." Mr. Creamer, ia Hancock going to be nominated again?" "I dont know, but hope not. I think Hancock showed abundant ability to commit mistake In th little he did. Th Randolph letter whlcn he wrote was not creditable to bis knowledge.

He was so afraid the Surratt ease would come up against him that got Buldy 'Smith, who worked for th nomination of a Catholic Mayor or New York Grace by which we almost bet the metropolis itself, tbe Democratic stronghold.
