Veorhees on Conkling.

[N. T . Times Hot Springs Special.] The Hon. D. W. Voorhees and daughter, Miss Hallie Voorhees, arrived here to-day, and will remain a month. The senator was questioned by the correspondent upon tne political situation. In leply to the question, “What do you think will become of Conkling? Don’t you think he will turn democrat in the event of his defeat at Albany?” the senator replied: “No, sir. The Almighty, who made these mountains and hot water, made Conaling a republican. He can not be a democrat. He can never coalesce with that broad and liberal thought which permeates the democratic party, and embraces the whole country. He is a man who never thought, spoke or dreamed of his country save in partisan blindness '

and sectional hate. He will never | become a democrat, but will become a monument to the young men of the I country, and stand as a warning j ‘against the folly of stupendous vani- I ty and egotism. His fate will be a rebuke to personal government, which this country sorely needs.” Monticello Herald: The joke seems to bo on County Clerk Uowger this time. In responding to his appllOa- | tion for the admission of Mrs. Nancy I Bunnell to the insane asylum, the : authorities at Indianapolis erroneously inserted the name of Mr. Cowger in thd permit as that of the per son of unsound mind. Tho clerk relates the blunder, while his friends do the laughing.
