Blaine Republicans clash over Robertson and Chandler picks
The piece argues Blaine uses Robertson and Chandler appointments to prove supremacy over Conkling, predicting fierce intra party battles in Congress. It cites New York figures and the Chicago mandate, framing the moves as strategic in the Garfield era and a test of Blaine’s leadership.
Republican row over Chandler nomination and party division
Reported plan suggests votes for Chandler rejection in exchange for Democratic votes against Robertson. The deal would favor one side, as Democrats would aid blocking anti Conkling figures in New York and solicitor general. Such a trade unlikely to persuade and risks disaster to the Republican organization if unchecked.
