will resort to any means, even to the VIC
lation of the law. to secure Garield's cleo
ton. They are especially anxious to cap
ture some of the southern states and are
looking to South Carolina, Florida and
Virginia. There is no doubt that large
sums OF money arc to be sent into those
states, especially into Florida, where the
Republicans are anxious TO secure a sue
cessor to Senator ones whose time ex.
pires next March. Agents have already
been sent to Florida and South Carolina.
As TO Virginia the Republicans expect to
make bargain with Malone. In one

doing SO. The real position of Mahope

Democrats know this, and the RerubiiD
