The Proposed Conference.

The statements made in the Richmond
CORE spoDdence OF the Baltimore Sun OF
this morning to the effect that the Demo
cratic ticket is to be withdrawn and the
Malone ticket voted in its entirety by the
Democrats OF Virginia upon the high moral
ground OF self-sacri6ce for the good OF the
party and the country are looked upon
here as the vcriest gibberish, and the Sun,
it is thought, should be more careful in SUI
pervising its correspondence, so as to have
all such wild gable excluded from Its usu-
ally reliable columns. 1t is said here that
when Virginia Democracy trails its flag in
The dust at the bidding OF few Radicals,
Independents, unsuccessful ofiice-seekers,
and selfish demagogues, the skies will fall
and great will be the catch Of larks.
So says a Washington letter In the Alex
andria Gazette. The Gazette says edito-
rally:
eve really believe that il It were true
the reputable people OF the State would so
revolt at 1t that they would take no more
interest in the campaign"

"The Democratic assertion that Pennsyl-

quarters, and many Democrats have given
It but little credenoe; but the ridicule will
assume more serious aspect aud the credi-
bility be greatly increased when it is known
that Senator Wallace says that among the
immense number OF letters General Han

1000 are from Republican ex.soldiers OF

November. Four thousand such votes make

WILLIAM biAYoNE, Chairman.
Notwithstanding General. MAHoNE's ac-
tion in consenting that his electors and the
members Of his State, Committee shall meet
the Democratic electors and State Commit
tee, the tone Of the Mig OF yesterday is
conclusive proof that General MALONE is
not ready to agree to any sort OF compro-
mise. His opposition to the Shenandoah
proposition does not surprise anybody who
knows the man. 1t Is with him not ques-
tion as TO the election ofHANCoCK, but as TO
the continuance Of his rule in Virginia. He
would rather run the riSjs OF defeat this year
than next. lie desires tokeep his mongrel
forces in hand. To form an alliance with
the white MANS party for the purpose Of
electing n Democratic President of the
United States this year would be to drive
Oh from his support the negroes who be-
long TO his faction, and whose votes be will
need nextyear.
We clearly iforesaw from the beginning
that such would be General MAHoNE's poll
cy. We long ago repeated over and over
again chat General MALONE would never
agree to compromise until lie had become
assured of the defeat OF his Ection. But
as General AlAHoNK is opposed 10 a compro-
mise, he is, according to oar logic, not
afraid Of she defeat OF his electoral ticket
next November? We suspect that this is
the real state Of the sease. We do not say
~ lows sunavoidably that General MA.
HONE Is. confident of the success Of his
ticket. We.onIy infer that such is-the state
OF his mind. Nevertheless, II he we're APP
prehensive Of its defeat, he might .still op.
pose compromise because, as we have
Aereinbeiore said, he wauld rather taie,the
aisk Of deieat,this year than next. an bis
