A delayed dispatch says: "C0ngrsssman
Jorgensen, who has been q prominent leader
of the straight-out Republicans In Virginia,
has decided TO issue . circular, addressed 70
all Virginia Republicans, urging them to sup.
port Malone and his Readjuster ticket. jor-
gensen says Mahone's action yesterday In
voting for Anthony for President of the Sen
ate shows him to be as good . Republican rs
anybody. Joresns.n says any man who
stands up and votes regularly with the Repub-
iicans a. Malone does is . good enough Re
publican for him, and he intends to support
him." Mr.. Jorgensen is the gentleman who
protested % loudly, during the extra session
of the Senate last summer, against receiving
Malone in the Republican party. Evidently
something has come over the spirit Of his
dreams to have caused such . violent change
Of opinion, or Mr.. Malone has "seen" and
satisfied The immaculate Jorgensen. If Ma
zone ISIS a good enough Republican for
whom can the thirty odd thousand Rsadjust-
er Democrats vote at the ensuing Gubsrnato-
rial e~lsction. Certainly not for Mahone's
candidate.
The st. Paul Pioneer Of the 7th inst, a
straight-out Republican journal, pays the fol-
lowing deserved compliment to the Democ-
racy of Minnesota. Its scathing criticism Of
the action of the recent Republican Conven-
ton In that State is fully deserved. 1t says:
The Democratic State Convention yestsr-
day recognized the fact, which the Republi.
cans did not, that the time has come at last
when it is vitality necessary to grapple square.
~ with the issue of Reputation or of an hon
est payment of the public debts. And it did
n 1t hesitate to meet that issue in the only
honest way it can be met, by boldly planting
itself on the original platform of the Demo-
cratic party Oh this question, adopted in 1859,
declaring that it is the duty of the people Of
Minnesota to preserve inviolate the faith and
credit of the State, and pledging the Demo-
cratic party to honorably and promptly meet
all obligations resting upon the State. The
Republican party in 1859 adopted a similar
platform, but the petty politicians who have
now assumed its lea dership and who repre-
sentsd it in the State Convention the other
day had neither the courage nor the states
manship to reafirm them.
A Washington dispatch says it is a matter
Of csmment there hat President Arthur keeps
his contemplated Cabinet changes with strict
er privacy than any President who has pre-
coded him. "Ex-President Grant had the
reputation of keeping . close mouth, butthen
he took certain Senators into his confidence.
But even President Arthur's closest friends,
aud ,hoss who are moot interested, the Cab.
inst cheers who desire to be relieved, appear
TO have NO knowledge of his plans. Secreta-
~ Window says be has no knowledge who
his successor will be, and Attorney General
Aacveagh, who is credited with being anx-
ious to get out Of the Cabinet a soon as pos
