In obedi- -ence to the requests, which were to the effect that Uen.

Indeed, be goes further, and expresses pri- vately to his friends o belief that the noxt Administration will bo'a great fmprovement upon that which Is about to end. Regarding the latter, Senator Conkling spoke with great freedom white at Mentor, and gave Gan, Garfleld distinetly to uhderstand that any repetition of whut he wus pleased to call “‘The unwarrautably Infamous nets of Hayes,” would draw from him (Conkllng) ceven more bilter hostility than that whieh he hud displayed during the past threo yenrs, ‘Lhe Preshdent-elect llstened good-naturedly to u good denl of talk of this kind, and then the gentlemen began to discuss more fm- portant mutters, MR CONKLINN MADE NO DIRECT O 1OSI- TIVE REQUENT in regard to the Cabinet, but strongly Intl- mated y desive that a New York man should bo appoipted to the Secretaryship of the Trensury, In_the sume connvetlon he ex- ressid a daelded proference for Mr, Morton, Gen, Garfleld aid not promlse that My, Mor- ton should be appointed, nor did lio say that he would not be, 1Io inthnated, however, that some leading Ih-fmhlluxm athor than Mr, Morton might nossibly be ncceptable to the Senator, nnd more accoptable to the purty ut lurge.
