Arthur and Conkling clashed over Blaine and NY politics
A Chicago Tribune review piece reflects on Daniel Arthur's contested path to national politics, his Cold War era style rivalries with Conkling, Blaine, Folger, and party disruption in New York. It notes Arthur's defeat, Conkling's likely disapproval, and hints at Arthur's future law practice in corporate interests after March. It also covers a Mary Anderson critique by Lord Lytton, the closing of the Lyceum, and a lively Irish language performance at Steinway Hall with MacSwiney and the Gaelic Idyl The Bard and the Knight.
