Note 998 — Chapter XXXV · CONKLING DOWN AND OUT 1881
Reading edition
"Conkling was unrelenting in his enmities. He used to get angry with men simply because they voted against him on questions in which he took an interest. Once he did not for months speak to Justin S. Morrill, one of the wisest and kindliest of men, because of his pique at one of Merrill's votes."—George F. Hoar, Autobiography, Vol. 2, p. 55.
