A Jury that Will Do its Duty.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The new grand
jury, to which the testimony against the
Star Route ring will be submitted, wai
drawn to-day. 1t is pronounced a good
Jury, and one that will do its duty.
The Readjusters.
Ii is claimed by the Readjusters and
their Republican friends that the ad.
ministralion has at last decided to help
Malone in Virginia. While the admin
istration has not yet taken any ground,
il is undoubtedly more favorable towards
the Readjustsrs than before their con.
vention. The Republican press has
generally commended the Readjuster
platform. and this has had some infiu.
ence. The administration heartily en-
dorses the declarations OF the Read.
iuster platform in regard to free
ballot, fair count, and the public
schools, but does not like the plank re.
affirming the belief IN the Riddleber2ef
bill. Parties who urge the President to
recognize and help Malone state that
the financial part OF the Read juster
platform counts for nothing in the com.
ing fight and will not attract attention
inside or outside OF the State; that the
voters who originally favored the Read
iuster party did not go on the readjust-
ment OF the State debt, and the late
conventions had to make q concession
to these voters OF putting in the plat.
form a declaration in favor Of readjust.
ment. II is urged that the fight
ia really between the Bourbons and
Liberals. The indications are that the
ad lninistration will not act burriedly as
10 Virginia There ID plenty OF time, az
the canvass will not open until August.
In the meantime, ii the Readjusters
make their fight for free ballot and lair
count and not on the State debts, 1t is
more than probable that the administra-
ton will favor them. The Democrats
generally say they do not believe that
the administration will interfere In the
Virginia fight. Several Senators who
still think Virginia should be left to
settle her own internal politics, say
freely that IL the administration helps
Malone, the Democrats in the Senate
viii hereafter resent it.
