Washington dispatch outlines ongoing conflict between President and Senator Conkling over appointments and policy. It notes likely Senate support for the President, impending open battle, and questions about future adjournment. Includes Mrs Garfield’s illness, calls for a new presidential residence, and broader party tensions.
Conkling declares full confidence in winning re election to the New York Senate by the current legislature and presents classified lists of members showing their sentiments. He says re election would endorse his fight against Robertson and rebuke the Administration and would grant him a mandate as an independent anti administration senator.
A partisan debate accuses Democratic papers of exploiting Star route developments. The critique claims a yearlong probe found nothing or was withheld, labeling the party as fault finding instead of exposing real issues.
