THE BOURBONS TROUBLED AT THEIR PROS
PEcTs AND ANXIOUS TO SEE A FULL RE
PUBLICAN TICKET PLACED IN THE FIELD
ATTITUDE OF THE ADMINISTRATION,

by Telegraph 10 tho N. Y, Tribune.
RICHMOND, VA, June 5.-There are
some signs of dsquiet among the Bour-
bons here over the present political situ-
alton nnd It's future probabilities. The
more frank leaders of that party admit
that the anti Bourbons have gained rath-
cr than lost strength during the last
four months, and the numbers and en-
thusasm of the delegates to the Malone
Convention have greatly surprised and
disappointed their opponents, who real
~ believed that the frank utteranCes Of
General Malone and his course In the
Senate would ALLEVIATE all or most of his
supporters who were formerly Demo-
Gratis. Most of the Bourbons now can
didy declare that the only hope of sue
cess for their party in the contest this
year lies In the nomination of straight
out ticket by the Republicans, and the
support Of that ticket, at least tacitly,
by the administration. They are, there
fore, quietly doing all they can to pro-
mote a "Suaight-Out' movement,
win there be such movement, and
If 40, what will be It's success? There is
reason to believe that II will be decided

leaders Of the Republican organization
