Senator elect Malone, the "boss''
of the Virginia debt readjusters,
seems TO be hating in his purpose to
hand that State over to the Repub-
lican party. Embittered by the fail
nre of the Republican State Conven-
ton to accept his overtures- for a
joint and independent electoral
ticket, and alarmed at the anti-third
term clamor in the North, he has
granted a dispensation to his follow
ers to vote for the Democratic can
didate for the President this year
without losing their standing in the
Readjuster party. Malone is bold
fighter when necessary, but he is a
trimmer as well. He means to hold
off until the Presidential candidates
are named and then fall in on the
winning side.-Er.
