A Washington special relates an interview with Blaine by a gentleman who holds a high position at the cap ital, a stanch Eepnblican and a warm friend of the defeated candidute. Blaine confesses frankly that his de feat was Oonkling's victory, and gave the following narrative: "The coldness," Blaine said, "be tween Mr. Conkling and myself is of long standing, dating back to the time -we both "were in the houe of representatives. He has opposed my political advancement ever since that time. Of course, I retaliated, bat more in a defensive Tray than other -wise, until Mr. Oonkling assumed an antagonistic position toward the late President GarCeld, when I took the offensive and opposed Mr. Conkling's return to the senate after he bad re- signed bis seat It is a mistake to say that Garfield opposed Mr. Conkling's return. He was entirely careless con cerning the matter. He said that he cared nothing for the annoyance that that gentleman might attempt against his administration. Garfield intended that his administration should be such as to merit the ap proval of the country and be did not believe that Conklingor any other one man could successfully opposo it But I could not bring myself to look 'mpon the matter in that light, and bronght to bear what opposition I cou'.d to Conkling's return to the sen ate. As he had opposed my political advancement, I had a perfect right to retaliate in kind. He was defeated and thus matters stood until the ap proach of the national convention, when I was put in the field for the nomination by mv friends. I had doubts as to the propriety of my tak ing tho position with so powerful an opponent at large. But I was assured that Mr. C inkling had turned" his back on politics; that he would take no part in the canvass "for either the nomination or the election. In addi tion to this I was visited by commit tees and written to from all sections of the country, urging mo to coneent to the use of ray name before the con- yentio-'. I finally yielded. I had taken pa".ns to learn Mr. Oonkling's feelings. At first he was reticent, Bay ing he was out of politics. Later he Baid he hoped the convention wonld nominate a man. This was interpreted to me that he preferred me to A-thur. I felt some relief and "was nominated. Tho October result in Ohio elated us. I desired to visit New York, when the" announcement wa3 made that Mr. Oonkling would take the stump against me. If I would stay out of New York he would make no speeches. He said he would submit the question to the people without argument, but if I wanted to argue he would meet me. I abided the decision of my friends not to bring any issue in of this kind in the nature of a personal quarrel. This contented Mr. Conkling, and he re mained out of politics. The question want to the Republicans of New York, as M. Conkling wanted it to and h s won. He has had his revenge. I don't say I kept him out of the senate, but I did all I could to do so, and he has prevented my election to the presidency. It was Mr. Conkling alone who could have given New York state to me and he would not Per hapilcould have returned him to the senate, but I would not. But he hasbeaten me three times to my once beating him. Ha prevented my nom ination in lS7Gand IdSO, and defeated ms in 1SSL" Blaine it is said showed no feeling during the statement. Representative Millard, of New York, is preparing a resolution which will undoubtedly bo given due con sideration. It proposes an amend ment to the constitution fixing the presidential term at six years, and th&t'the incumbent of the office shall, after -one term, be forever barred from-accepting any office under flip government. In h'euofthe right to aooept office the ex-president will receive a life pension.
