The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-06-11
The News from Washington Stand
point.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Alexandria Gazette says: Letters received
here from Senator Johnston say the pros
poets for grand Democratic victory in Viz
ginia at the fall election are most promising.
The Senator is now at his home in Abng-
don, but Will be here about the last OF the
month on business connected with the ork.
town commission, OF which lie Is chairman.
Judging from the smallDess OF General
Mahone's order for copies OF the defence OF
his candidate for ACKNOWLEDGMENT from
the charges preferred against him by the
Governments Inspector, he does not place q
high estimate upon that defence as yalu'
able and effective campaign document. His
order is for one hundred copies. IL has Just
been flied.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE READJUsTERS.
The same says: The talk here to-day
about the Presidents final determination TO
give bis influence to the Mah0neites is to
the effect that it will do the Democrats more
good than harm, as it will show to the few
Democrats who still follow the General that
he is only Radical, and an ultra one at
that. In disguise. As to the Federal patron
age, it amounts TO little or nothing. The
Republicans have had 1t for the last sixteen
years and it has benefited them to no appre.
ciable degree; indeed, its bestowal now
upon the MahOnetes will do them much in-
Jury, inasmnch as every Mshoneitc who re-
ceives an Office must necessarily displace
Republican, who will OF course do all IN
his power TO "get ever" next November.
Gentlemen who arrived here to-day from
Orange and Fairfax counties, in Virginia,
report that the Malone party in those coun-
ties, so far as ii relates TO its Democratic
element, is growing small by degrees and
beautifully less.
THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun says: IL is expected that the
coming CAMPAIGN in Virginia will equal. IT.
not exceed, in excitement aud interest the
ever.memorable campaign OF 1850, when
Henry A. Wise was elected Governor.
Senator Johnston writes here to-day that
there IS no doubt OF a grand Democratic
triumph in November. Virginia Conser-
NATIVES say the bestowal OF the Federal pa
tronage in Virginia upon the repudiationist
faction will do them more harm than good;
that It will ALLEVIATE the Republicans from
whom il is taken and sour the Reputation
lists who are not provided for.
THE PRESIDENT AGAINST REPUTATION.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore american says: Before leaving
here last night to attend the meeting Of the
Republican State Executive Committee,
which conyenes this evening in Richmond,
Va, Cougressman-elect DeZendoIf, OF Mol
folk, and Major Yost, OF the Stanton Vir-
qinian, were interviewed. They bad been
here several days feeling the Administration
pulse with reference 10 the opinion OF the
proposed action OF the straigh,-out Repub-
Tic ms in the State. Mr.. DeZendorf stated
that the Readiuster ticket was by no
means satisfactory 10 the Republicans
OF the State. He said that he had
a high regard for ex-senator Lewis,
but thought that by going into the
field as a candidate he made a mistake.
With reference to the allegation that the
President favored coaltion with the Re-
adjusters, Mr.. DezendOri said: "The
President stated 10 me emphaticaIly when
visited him at Mentor aud on various occa.
sioDs since bis Inauguration that he could
not consent that bis Administration should
stain the fair record Of Republcanism by
favorpg anything like reputation. But
the Presidents idea is the same as my own
and other Repubicans-tha the Republi-
can party should avail itself OF the 1000
Re&djuster votes in that State. and Repub-
licsn convention should have been held TO
determine the manner and conditions OF ac-
curing them"
