overtures and declared they would have nothing to
do with the National Committee, because they were
not in any sense part of the National Democratic
party. Thus matters remained during the SUMMER
and until after the Indiana election.
In the meantime Samuel j. Randall had been I'D
correspondence with Malone. Randall expressed
much sympathy for Malone in his against the
Bourbons, and was especially anxious for the sue
cess of the Readjuster candidates for Congress- lie
wanted Goode, Tucker and the other Bourbon can
didates defeated, because they had opposed him IN
the House of Representatives. Randall promised to
raise money among his friends in Pennsylvania to
aid Malone in carrying on his fight against the
BOurbons. They on their part had been in constant
communication with Barnum trying to secure the
recognition Of the National Committee. very few
days after the Indiana election, Malone, who was
then in Richmond directing his campaign,
received a dispatch from Randall asking him
10 90 to Philadelphia Immediately TO confer
with him on important and urgent
business. Malone supposed that Randall
had raised the money which had been promised to
defeat (ioode and Tucker. and he went at once to
PHILADELPHIA and saw Mr. Randall. Randall said
nothing about money, but informed Malone that
something must be done TO harnOnize the Democrats
in Virginia and save the State. He told Malone
that the BouIbons were willing to give the Read
iusterS six electors taking five for Themselves and
he thought they would even give the ReadIusters
seven and take four. Malone replied that no fusion
was possible and that if the BourbOns would give
him ten electors aud only one for themselves
hc would not accept the proposition. Randall then
told Malone that he feared the National Committee
would recognize the Bourbon ticket, and suggested
that hc 90 to Ncw-York and see the committee. Ma
hone replied that he would do no such thing; that
,I. 81 ttoa hpI a HplIIn
with tn Virginia affair and that it would do better
TO keep lts hands off. Randall then said that he
wonM telegraph for Mr. Hewitt to come 10 Philadel
plia Malone replied that if he did 80 he must do
II Oh his own responsibility.
"Thi. Mr.. Randall did, and at the same time
Malone tccgraphcd to his friend Roger A. Pryor
asking him to attend the conference Hewitt and
Pryor came and met Malone and Randall. Hewitt
represented that the National Committee was cx-
ccrdngy anxious 10 compose the Virginia difficult
ties and asked upon what basis "a fusion Of the
Bourbon AMI Rcajustcr tickets would be practi-
