ANTI-BOURBON CAMPAIGN PLANS.
TheAnti-Bourbon State Committee held meeting
yesterday and discussed plan of operations for the
coming campaign. 1t was decided to begin immedi-
atelv thorough canvass Of the State. the purpose
being that one or another of the candidates on the
State ticket shall visit every county before cleo
ton Gay and spend some time in each, making the
personal acquaintance of the voters and imprcssng
his arguments upon their minds. The most remote
and inaccessible counties will first be visited, and it
is expected that by the time the BourbOns have their
ticket in the field the Anti Bourbon leaders will have
worked the ground thoroughly that they will
have liberty TO meet their opponents whenever they
may appear. General Malone, after a short period
of rest will take the management Of the campaign
into his own hands, and will personally supervise
ell it's details Even his most bitter enemies concede
that as political manager General Malone has no
equal in the State. In previous political campaigns
the BOurbons have il is said, received considerable
pecuniary aid from the North to pay the necessary
expenses. II they should IGNORE the debt ques-
tionn as they evince disposition to do. they would
not be likely to receive much help from outside this
year. The Ant-Bourbon management of General
Malone will be comparatively inexpensive. He
SAWS that he shall maintain costly hcadquar-
tersr or large staff of clerks and secretaries but
that he will have a corps of speakers 20 large that
the people of every town and hamlet In the state
will have an opportunity TO hear ti-BourbOn doc
trines expounded before the day of election. The
Anti Bourbon leaders hope and expect that num-
Der of prominent Northern speakers will come to their
aid in this canvass, and the BourbOns also expect
the help Of speakers from other States. There
some symptoms of dissatisfaction Friday night
among a few of the partisans Of the unsuccessful
candidates but signs of discontent are hardly dis
coverable to-day and they will probably vanish al
toOefher before "A week has passed. Rlddlebergers
disappointment seems to be the greatest, but his
friends declare that he will soon get over IT, Gu
rious illustration Of the eagerues OF the Bourbons
to grasp at anything which they think might enable
them to retain control Is afforded by the slggcston,
soberly made by some BourbOns, that Riddleberger
ton. and that the Riddleberger bill be adopted
as the sentiment of the Bourbon party in regard TO
the debt question.
For the last day OF two the BourbOns have been
struggling 10 believe q story to the effect that
William III. Barnum has assured certain bourbon
leaders here that the President has assured him that
the Administration is opposed TO the Ant-Bourhon
even in Virginia Democrats hesitate TO cOnfide in
Barnum. and the story is not believed.
There is some comment here upon ex-senator
ConklIng's sympathetic telegram 10 Malone. IL II
generally considered that the telegram was Gent in
order 10 countcTact a story which had been pub
lshed to the effect that COnklinR opposed to tho
course of other Republican senators toward Ma
hone which resulted in the " deadlock" friend of
General Malone is authority for the statement that
the receipt of the telegram was surprise to the
General. Malone wrote a note thanking COnklnR
for his sympathy, but did not think il worth while
10 give copy Of the letter to the Associated Press
for publication.
