REPUBLICANS AND TIE MALONE MOVEMENT.
In explanation OF the Republican posi-
ton upon the contested Virginia Postmas.
ter nomination, Western Senator said
this evening:
"The Republicans might have yielded at
once to the determination Of the Demo-
Gratis to prevent by dilatory tactics the con
tirmation OF Stratham, seeing that the re-
suit to the appOintee would have been just
the same II. after the adjournment, the
President had re-appointed him, but it was
felt that it was due to the liberals OF Nir-
ginia that the position ~ the Republican
Senators should be made absolutely mani
fest as in perfect sympathy with the cause
Of liberalism in Virginia, 1t has been as
serted TINT there were some Republican
Senators who were ready to bolt the eau
Gus nominee for Sergeantat. Arms, Mr.,
Riddleberger, and that the Ma.
hone movement generally was unac.
Ceptable to several Republican Sena-
tons. ltwas necessary to show these asser'
tons TO be absolutely without foundation,
The action Of the Republicans in staying
here two days and nights to fight the bat
tie for Alahone's friend as against q straight
Republican, has proved that there is no
dissent on the Republican side from the
attitude OF the President, in supporting
heartily the coalition in Virginia. We feel
that we have strengthened Malone bymak-
ing the fight We haye-put the Democrats
on record us preierring Republican to a
Democrat with liberal ideas. We have
shown the narrow and bitter partisanism
which distinguishes the Bourbons, and we
have made it evident 10 the Read justers
that We are in earnest in hailing progress
sive policy in the South without demand
ing that it shall be made under the Re-
publican name. We are quite satisfied with
our course in the matter, and should have
been glad to have had the debate public.

JAMES WILL STAY TO SEE IT OUT.
WASntxGrox, October 30.-postmaster
General James denies the report that he
will leave the Cabinet on December list.
He will remain certainly Until January lst,
and possibly longer, until, at least, sOine
result has been reached In the Star route
Cases. He remains thus long in defer.
Gnce TO the wish Of President Arthur.
He thinks his presence Is not at all
necessary. to the success Of the prosecutors.
He has had little 10 do with gathering the
evidence. lie has been kept informed OF
The progress OF the cases, but only in gen.
eral terms. A new Postmaster General
would in u day or two become
as familiar with the position OF
the cases as he. His efforts have
been mainly directed toward correcting
mismanagement found to exist, and in re-
duCing the cost OF mail service. Mr..
James does not conceal the fact that he
thinks Mr.. Mac veagh should have contin-
ued in office at least until the indictments
we're found in the Star Route cases. Geo
lilis will he here tomorrow, and the mo-
