and that the issues were not those which are to
be fought in the State campaign. What these Is.

shamefully violated all his civil service pledges

Of MCCarty d HogSon, in which at the time were

little girls. The robbers Immediately, upon en-
teriDg, drew revolves and commanded the in.
mates to keep quiet. One Of the thieves then
proceeded to le SAFE and one took his post at the
door, ard the third kept guard over the occu'
pants. While the robbers were thus occupied,
two Of the clerks who had been to the depot re-
turned and were OF once taken charge Of by the
sentinel at the door, The sie contained be-

would be shot. Gaining the street, the robbers
rode of south, Up to the present time no trace

WHAT CONKLING ASKS.

ALBANY, May 9O-The Express says; Senator
Conkling merely asks the Republican members
Of the Legislature to meet in caucus and deter.
mine for themselves the attitude the Republican
party will bear toward them" 1t also says
"Those misunderstood the situation and misin-
terpret the issues who think Senators ConkliDg
and Flatt have any reason 10 be disappointed
with the result OF their observations in this city
last week. The Senators found that two.thirds Of
the Republican members Of the Legislature pre-
er that this State should be represented by them
in the Senate Of the United States. OF this i'm
menBe majority they found that number regret
ted their designations, while not denOuncing
them for the course they have pursued because
OF endorsements at home. The fact that this
preference exists will explain the strenuous op-
position to the holding Of a caucus by the Ad.
ministratou and its thick and thin supporters.
By preventing caucus they hope TO avail them
selves OF the fears OF members who are worked
upon by threats OF men who bolted in 1872 and
who sign papers now, as they did then, for the
purpose of frightening the timid. The issues,

MALONE IN ANOTHER FIX.
Rlalue Again Bosses Garfield in q Very Decided
Way.
Washington Special. -.

The help which the Malone party In Virginia
has been receiving from the President has been
suddenly withdrawn. This is done by order Of
Blaine. Malone has been assured all along by
Garfield that the influence OF the Administration
would be used to bring about coalition Of the
Mahonites and Republicans in Virginia. With.
out such coalition Malone knows that his ticket
will be voted by ridiculous minority. With a
coalition success would be doubtful. Garfield
favored coalition, while majority Of the Repub-
lican leaders In Virginia are very anxious to run
a straight Republican ticket The Presidents
course, however, has demorallzed them. Ma
hone in one Of his interviews with the President
suggested that an intimation go from the White
House to leading Republicans In Virginia that it
would be bert to hold no State Convention this
year, but instead to agree formally to support the
Malone ticket The President cordially ap.
proved Of the plan, and soon the Republican
leaders learned that any attempt to hold State
Convention would be looked upon with dsfavor
by the President, In addition to this, very de-
Cided indications OF the Presidents policy were
made manifest In the distribution of patronage.
Many OF the postmasters, where appointments
did not need to be confirmed by the Senate were
removed. In nearly all instances these were Re
publican postmasters, and their places were
filled with Mahonites. Protests that were made
to the President were unavailing. The reply was
made that 1t was the purpose OF the Administra.
tlon to break the Solid South, and an opportunity
now offered in Virginia Of routing the Democratic
party there.
In despair the Republican leaders went to
Blaine The Secretary Of State ia reported TO
have been very indignant when he heard Of the
removal Of Republican postmasters. He ad.
vised three Republican leaders TO begin at once
their preparations for convention. He said that
Malone had got all that he would get out OF the
Administration, and ne told the gentlemen that
the only thing for the Republicans In Virginia to
do was to nominate straight ticket and vote for
1t. In fact the Secretary OF State seemed to think
that 1t would bs preferable to unite with the debt
paying Democrats Of Virginia rather than with
Malone party, The result Of this interview with
Blaine has bsen that no more removals Of Repub
licans and no more appointment Of MahOnites
have taken place. The Republican leaders have
about determined to call convention. Ma.
homes convention occurs on June I'd in Rich
mOnd. II promises to be very exciting affair.
Efforts are being made TO have 1t largely at
landed
