WAsHINGreS, Novemeerss4.- Repub-
6csns OF Virginia arcbeginning TO make
fght against Malone TO preserve in their
own controItke patronage. Representatives
. Jorgepsen and lDezendori-the latter just
elected over Goode-baye been here, and
insist that Gss6eid shat make no bargain
with the great Readiusier. So far as they
are concerned, they say that their
friendship Is for those who are hon
est in their intentions to pay the
State debt. They are,yeiy indignant with
Jewell and Dorsey for their effort TO seduce
Virginia Republicans iEto voting for the
Malone electoral ticket. This complexities
the situation, and makes it questionable II
Malone can give the Republicans bis vote
in return for The patronage OF Virginia.
Jorgensen goes sofsr as to say that the Re-
publican National Committee cost tbem the
State that had they not interIered Virginia
would have gone Rspebiican. This is
hardly credible. but il represents the feel
ing OF Virginia Republicans, which may
prove too strong for the completion OF the |
projected bargain with Malone. Jorgen- |
sen charges that Jewell sent 100000 Re- |
adjusier ballots 30 Virginia before the cleo |
tiop, which were distributed among the |
negroes, which cost the Republicans about |
$4,000 votes. He says that The Republicans |
have, therefore, lost enough by bargaining |
With Malone aud bis faction, and that be |
and his party friends will insist that Gar
field shall not follow liz .Jewen's footsteps |
In this respect. they are evidently deter
mined 10 do what they can to retain the |
power OF ninning pOstmasters and revenue |
officers. The problem involves the ques- |
ton OF patronage only.
I'VE doubt not tbstJORGBSsBN and DEZEN- |
D0RF indulge the feeling above described. |
A few Others OF the leaders OF the Republic
canaarty, it is likely, sympatbize in them.
Batiit is none the less true tiat everywhere
10 Virginia the MEHoNE candidates for
Congress received the votes Of The negro
Renublicans, who constitute nine tenths OF
the party, and had the good wishes OF the
Republican National Committee. HGeneral
MABaye would 60 o&er to the.Republican
party, and claim to Se a Repu Hlicau, the
Democrats wouldn't care a button for all
that, he.could do 10 damagethem. 1t is only
MS Democrat that be can do them any in
Jury. I'VE repeat that We do not believe be
has any idea OF going orer to-tbe Republic
caos, noe even Of exchanging hisNote Ia the
organization Of the Senate for the possible
patronage Of the Administration. Ale is too
anxisas to exercise influence over some OF
the white wen Of Virginia to Join q party
composed in bis own State simost altogether
OF negroes. /
