THE VfRG7NEi COMPLICATION.

sTEAsSHToUT VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS AT Tue
NhrTE HOUsE-wHAT THEY WANT AND DON'T
"ANT-TEEY PRoTBsT AGAINST THE RECOGNI-
TON OF MALONE.
Last week there was delegation OF Virginia
republicans at the White House urging the Pres
ident to recognize the .'iIbsral' or Malone
movement 10 Virginia. To day there was del
egstion Of straightout republicans a. the White
House On the other side. Tney Consist
cd Of Representative Jorgensen, James II.
Donlan, T, j. MrCalen, C. Fl. Tlnsley,
nj. :. Thomas. j. ri. Coleman, Cornelius Nc
Rae, Robert Mtchaeis, Thomas jackson. Robert
Posing, Bryan Jones, p. P. Finnigan and others.
The member OF the delegation paid their re-
spects to The President and then several short
speeches were made. Dr.. JoTgense0, Mr.. NJ
Caleb NJ. Tiasley and VI. Boiling were the
takers. The speakers protested against 'Ma-
none being recognized by the administration
and advocated the claims OF the straight-out
republicans. They urged the President TO re-
cogniZe the sCraight-oGts as the only party In
Virginia that uphOlds truly the republican

noval OF Collector j. D. Brady {readiascer)
from 6he internal revenue district OF Feters-
burgh was requested, and also the removal OF
Col. D. G. Potts (deEocraO as postmaster at
that place.
THE PRE:TDENT REPLIED,
that the matters presented to him should have
full consideration. The delegation left with
the impression that the "Straight-outs" would
not be deserted, and this afternoon called on
Secretary Window in regard to Brady's removal,
and upon Postmaster General James about the
removal OF Colonel Potts. Members OF the
delegation In conversation with THE STAR re-
porter said, that the republican opposition to
Malone was very decided. Coalition With the
readjusters would be fought against by all
true republicans In the state.
CONVENTION OF REPUBLICANS
would be called In ninety days to nominate
candidates for state officers Independent OF
the Malone men. It was their desire to have
General Wtckharn, who was IN full sympathy
With the 'StraighC-out" republicans, head the
ticket. but his business interests would pre-
vent that. There was some talk they said, OF
putting Colonel Mosby, now United States
consul at Hong Kong, at the head OF the
