WASHINGTON, Nov. 1Oth.-The
Star this evening says: A letter
from General Hancock was receiv-
ed here 10 day by an officer Of the
army who was on his staff. In the
letter General Hancock says that,
emphaticaliy, he has no lot or
part in the agitation in regard to
throwing out the vote of New York
nor will lie have any. He is OPP
poeed to the agitation and says he
believes that General Garfield was
elected and should be inaugurated
without any fuss.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10th.-The
anxiety observed in many quarters
yesterday concerning the threat
ened attempt to defeat Garfield's
election by throwing out the vote
of New York has been effectively
disposed of to-day, E. II. Apgar
from the State Democratic Com.
mittee disclaiming any support to
any such proposition and by the
apparently we'll authenticated dec
laratiou of Gen. Hancock that he
10 totally opposed to the agitation
and believes that Garfield was fair
ly elected. 1t is now believed that
the fomentors Of the agitation will
receive no encouragement from the
Influential leaders of the party.
The movement to invalidate the
legality of the vote of the State of
New York for Garfield and Arthur
will not amount to anything more
than a minority protest If, in
deed, it does not soon become sim
ply ridiculous.
Malone, Senator-elect from Vir-
ginia, arrived in Washington last
night and was to-day interviewed
with very small results. In reply
to the question, "What will be
your future position in politics?"
he said: "Nobody but myself
knows. There is my most intimate
friend" pointing to Collector Bra
dy, of Petersburg. "He does not
even know my position. If you
will find exactly how I stand and
let me know, I will give you $lO,.
000." Notwithstanding his face.
tiously evasive answer there have
been several indications to-day
that he contemplates some sort OF
alliance with the Republicans.
Collector Brady, who is his most
intimate friend and who accompa-
MES him here from Virginia, is a
strong Republican. Gen. Malone,
since his arrival last night, has
been visited by Republicans and
not by Democrats. He was in con-
ference this morning with George
G. Gorham and Immediately after
the unsatisfactory Interview with
the reporter, went to his rooms
with Brady and Mr.. A. w. Clapp
to carry out a meeting which had
been prearranged by Collector Bra
dy. Gorham said to day, after a
talk with him, that in his opinion
General Malone would act with
the Republicans rather than the
Democrats.
There is considerable inquiry in
political circles just now touching
the health of Senator Grover, OF
Oregon. Should he be too unwell
to attend the session of the Senate
the Republicans, with Mahone's
vote, would have majority with
out the vote of the Vice-President.
Should he die, the Oregon Legisla.
ture, being Republican, will send q
Republican successor, and In such
event the Republicans would have
the Senate regardless of how Ma
hone might act. Some time ago
Senator Grover was at Whining
ton, Del, very i'll. There were
doubts then whether he would ever
sufficiently recover to take his seat
in the Senate. He was subsequent
~ reported to be improving, but
he has not recently been heard
from In Washington.
