Conk/inol Persona/ and Potiti- cal Career. A REMARKABLE ANALAMS BF OMOSNAL BEFOBLICAN, OF UTICA. NEW YOWL • : The resignation of Mr. Conkling Mine, Crates the sestet of the measure of suc cess which he has attained and the ele ments in his character which made eer- . taiu his downfall, He aimed at a sensa tion which would not only command attention but would also compel ap plafiFe. The act was flashy, pretentious and dramatic. It was, stilt more, in sincere, and it aimed to capture by 'trick and surprise positions and results otherwise unattainable. He never meaat to give up his seat in the Senate; he did not inttn.l to give the people a chance to pronounce on his conduct. He sup posuti that the Legislature of New York was the creature of his will, and that' his servitors would record for (Ara a re-election with hardly a semblance of opposition and with a practically unani mous vote ou the part of Republicans. His whole career has run on the same lines. His abilities are showy and not substantial. Of culture be has none beyond acquaintance with a few English writers like Croly, Phillips and hiseauly in his earliest and most pretentious days, and nn the model of their glitter and display be has formed his style. His flatterers speak of him as an orator, and he hashvon reputation as a political speaker. His speeches are types ci the man. In words they- are affluent; in sentences they . — are, elaborate, ornate and sensational; but they never present a thought which has not previously been beaten and battered by press and politician. They are mosaics of the . current party prattle, but they contain uc passage which will endure. - He never deals with - underlyingprinciples: He sneers at the sentiment which en nobles life; he attains his heights in personal assault, in loose` partisan de nunciation and in 'practical politics.' He adds to his facility of speech real industry-and power for work. Scant ing the belief that men act from princi ple, he bends every energy to attach I I followeni by interest. Fearing men of real ability, he enlists lieutenants who are skilled in the arts of•the caucus and are unscrupulous in obeying his edicts. He drives them like slaves and requires them to attend to every , detail of ma ; hipalation. They may flatter him, `wad they must serve him by reaching voters. No influences are too base, no means too corrupt, so that they ` Will 4rve his ends. He demands lu:ques tioning obedience, and he is willing that obedience shall get its, reward out of polities; and be believes that in politics 'the laborer is worthy of his hire.' That is the theory on which he continued to the end the chainphin of the moiety system after its abuses were fully ex posed and after the great uprising of the merchants of New York against it. On the same theory hd gave his 'tolera tion, at least, to 'all the speculations end extortions which brought scandal on the Administration of Gen. Grant during his second term. On the same theory, he has been! a party to the com binations in New York city which ren der the municipal government so 'et travagant and so inefficient, and which follow so closely in the footstep of the Tweed regime. This course has bound to him the horde of speculators in politics who seek wealth at any cost, who, St Ns %tuft, will strike tluwu flu publican candidates as, readily as sup port them. They fly his colors; they would just as readily serve under the pirate's flag with cross-bones on a black ground. Oue of his shrewd neighbors, who knows him well, explains that the secret of ex-Senator Conkliugs's sue cess has been that he has organized the hoodlums of the Republiran party, and has used them for his own ends and of ten to destroy Republican earididalea offensive to him. His methods would be inadequately stated, if prominence was not given _to his maintenance of a detective bureau. He finds his wea pons in human weaknesses. • He as sumes that'all men offend and fall,' 6111 he seeks a record of their offenses and their lapses. When a rival crosses , his path this record serves as his armory. The 'chapter would,be interesting which would present the scandals with refer ence to men of note traceable to him. The Republican who, advocates princi ple, who recognizes morality and'does 'not accept his dictation and advance his ambitions is liable at any moment to libel's, through correspondence i nflueno eilby his creatures, and to innuendoes set afloat from circles 'in which ha is the chief.' Rev. P. H. Fowler, D. D., now of blessed - memory, was for many years the next door neighbor of Mr. Conkling. That eminent divine often declared that Mr. Coukliug had no conception of au ethical idea. It is certain that he has no faith in principle, iu morality, in noble sentiment. This is the reason .why, during a Congressional service of over twenty years. his contributions to the statute-books of the Republic are represented by a blank. He ,has sug-" gested no legislation; he has writtenno statute. No abuse has been corrected by him; no burden of government, his been mitigated; no additional securities to individual rights is 'due" to him. He never lifted a finger to shield produc tion against the n - egressionsl of corpora - tions. If any one will delve in the depths of hie Congressional speeches 4e I , will find that whatever is notahle - - them turns on personal politics. His flatterers will cite the French arms dis cussion in the Senate as indicating his Senatorial achievements. That was a controversy over the details of adminis tration, and Mr. Conkling's appearance in it not as the advoeate of a principle but as the attorney of a poliey, and he kept the discussion down,' so far as he, was concerned, to the low plane of indi vidual rivalries. The'time has not come for narrating the history of the Elec toral complications of 1876-7. The sug gestion of a commission has been claim ed for Mr. Conkling. It really origi nated _with. Judge McCrary, of lowa, then a member of the House of Rep resentatives. Mr. Conkling was led to favor it because of his hostility to President Hayes and because it give Mr. Tilden another chance for the Ex t entice chair. It will not be long be fore Democrats can testify what grounds they had for believing that Mr. Coaling would vote in the Senate to count the Electors of Louisiana for Mr. Tilden. Hon, Clarkson N. Potter could enlighten the country if . be would make known the assurances which *Tie given that the Committee of which he was chairman should re ceive of Mr. Conkling proof that would invalidate the title of Mr. Hayes. Why these assurances were made, what the pretended evidence war, and why the grit 'evidence was never ,proklueeLlt, are questions the anawerio ;to ;wbidh affect ttkm, honer the inteirity tI the ex-Senatrir: , The' political morality of Mr. Conk . - ling is indicated by the fact that he justified his course in appearing as counsel for the'New York Central Rail road in - a suit against the Government l l while himself a Senator, and coneern ing the internal revenue laws, which be had nominally aided in framing. While Senator, and while the relations of the Government With telegraphy were con stantly ,before Congress, he watt osten tatious in figuring as. conneer of the Western Union Telegraph Company. He has never sp3ken a word or done an act at variance with the interests of Ow Central Path& Railroad while in either house of Congress: He has bad the reputation of being a regular counsel of that corporation. He forced the nomination of the present Attorney- General of New York. 'The court re cords will show that ho has, been the favorite counsel of that official; and the State pays large fees lot such services. One of the recent jai in metropolitan politics was the combination by which John Kelly was driven out and, the spoils turned over to the Tilden faction. Promptly after that action Mr. Conk ling appeared as counsel for Corpora tion Counsel Whitney; one of the mani:, pnlators on Mr. Tildeo3 side. Thus the ex-Senator has been: - thrifty in get-' ting employment from clients to whom his action in the Senate: would be im portant, and ho has picked up the rich plums iu the gift of candidates who favor ed him, 'while he has clutched at the spoils in his , line from the factious of the Democracy. Other men have been criticised for taking fees from persons remotely connected with legislation. Criticism has passed Mr Cankling by for this course of action - because noth- iog else was expected of him. _ No one discusses the political morality of Gen eral Butler. The ex-Senator from New York is classed in the - same category . and for a like reason. No sketch of the character of the ex- Senator can be complete which omits his genius, for quarreling. Persons who have the profound sympathy of all who, know them would be pained by any specific reference to his quarrels with his father, 4.iis brothers and other Members of hie family; but no delicacy forbids the recital that, of all the living Republican Senators from New York, the Representatives from the Oneida district in Congress and the State Sen ate, the Chairmen of the Republican County Committee in. his own county since his accession to (power—not 4i:the is his political supporter to-day, unless the actual incumbent of an 'office re= ceivcd at his hands. In the House pf Representatives ,his. -quarrels with Blaine and with Washburn° indicate his relations with, his associates. In the United States Senate,. Sumner,f Sehnrz and Trumbull pteceded th(l whole existing body of . Republican Senators in being decorated by his host, tility and denunciation. The story of his warfare on President Hayes is illu minated by understanding this feature of . his character. President Gar fi eld has simply refused to let him force a quarrel on `the nen ; " Administratieu That Administration sought no contro versy with him. Its patient perforuf anee' of its constitutional; duties iur nian'ett him wig! 6Le ota,skon ror the sensational suicide with which he has adosned our politics. Your columns forbid- the citation of the particular acts which_would present the. causes of Mr. Conkling's dewnfall more completely than this• summary can do. They prove that he has no glens for legislation and statesmanship on a high plane. He i a politician of the caucus and, the convention. He has skimmed along the surface at a period when the ocean his been stirred to its depths. Coming into public life on the tido of the excitement of the war of the Union, he , has' been a noisy and matic Amin -major in the-Republican army, while getting the advantage of its strength. He has never'been a lea der of thought; much as be has ,wielded his ornamental staff. He has shown, au,lacity but _ never courage. To the' outside multitude his self-assertion and arrogance have been conspicuous ; but his relations to General Grant eihibit . the servility which he is wont to employ to win his ends, and to which he resorts to capture delegates in conventions and 1 rich men who will pay liberally to ad vance his ambition. - He is now in Albany, supplicating for an election to a seat in the Senate which he threw away, although the con sequence was to give the Democrats a majority in that body. Could any act more plainly declare how little •he re gards the Republican party or the wel fare oi the Nation in comparison to his own schemes ? Could anything render more emphatic than his presence at Albany, the insincerity of his resigna. Alen and his purpose to array New York against the party of the Union ? These recent acts expose the motives which actuate him. They will impress the plain people of the State and. of the Republic with the conviction that he has fulfilled his last engagement on the stage of American 'politics. They will accord to him due credit as an actor; will recall the perforthances to which he has contributed a certain brilliancy and audacity. They will congratulate them selves on their sagacity in rejecting his sispiratiiins for the nomination to the Presidency in 1876. They will rejoice that they overthrew in 18803 ho inove- Ment in which_ he was • active to bring back General Grant to the Presi dency, with the influences now so well understood. If he had ever been the Champion of a great principle, his name might live. Hiy labors for personal politics bear for fruit only apples of Sodom. By ap pealing to morality and sentiment be might have 'bound to him supporters consecrated to a noble cause.and ready to die for its leader. He has taught that success "and power are -mile, and are to be sought by all available means. The hour has come when failure and weakness are his lot,. and his itatellites rush off in all eccentric paths, cursing his- folly which brings ruin to thew. He deified the spoils, and 'he was their .prophet. He won support by giving offices and encouraging speetilation in politics. Many is the young politician to.whom be hes gent the temptation : " Ii you want anything you mast come with us." To many an aspirant he bas given the warning : "Yon Mast obey orderii or be ostracised." The' eclipse of the spoils darkens his whole career. His failure is ignominious pt the instant it is made plain that patronage has been taken awn)! from him. Under President Hayes hd was able to keep tipthe delu sion that he was able - to recover his power over the spoils, and many of his creatures were fortified in position. When President Garfield, by his fair, just act, showed that Mr. Conkling could not be master of all the National offices in the State of New York, the false edifice, built on_ the , sands, tam bled, and the' most pretentious of poll ticians found bislevel,—torresponcience of the New York Independent.
