Couldn’t Blame Him.

Senator Conkling, Gen. Daniel Butterfield, Gen. Chester A. Arthur and several other gentlemen stood out on the iron pier at Coney island on Wednesday of last week conversing on the Presidential canvass. Gen. Butterfield spoke in praise of Gen. Hancock, and said : “I shall not only vote for Hancock, but shall do all I can for his election.” Senator Conkling had been standing with folded arms looking out on the sea. He caught the last words of Gen. Butterfield, and, turning to him, said warmly, “1 don’t blame you, Dan. Hancock is a good fellow.” —New York telegram.
