Colonel Popham, welI-known Malone
Republican, Is here today. fresh from MS
successful labors at Lynchburg. he ssys
there never was more complete numm0A
than that made by the Stralghtout RepuOll'
cans: that they never had show OF sue
cess that they went away fror1 Lynchburg
dsmoing each other for the deception tney
had respectively practiced; that they were
disQusted with the lack OF courage Oh tneIr
leaders and with the manner In WDlcn lhe!
had been led to oppose the vsst majority oi
their party and then deserted az the crltlcal
moment. He said that the Republican party
OF Virginia was not debt-paying party 'laI
Wickham, Hughes, aud himself were me
only real true debt-payers IN IL. ne aiso siiv
that Jorgensen would not array n,nseh
AGAINST the Maboneites now, but would come
ito the coalition, and that be believed De-
,endorf would do likewise, notwithstanding
bts assertion that Administration or no Ad-
minislr,tion be would vote for no other
than = straigbtout Republican ticket. with
reoard 10 Moior Yost, he said the Major
had an eve 10 his own interest and would
be found with the Mah0nelles at the ehO'
esneeially as he was an original Readi uster,
and until recently was one Of General Ma
homes most pronounced eulogists. Ihe
Colonel said the Democrats OF LynchDurg
were nerfectly confident OF electing Daniel,
hnt were disguised with the Stra'ghtouts
for the lack Of courage they exhibited.

STATES marshal Of the Western DISTRICT OF
virginia, and the Malone candidate ior
Lieutenast Governor OF that state IS also
here to-day. lie says the Straighton's
never bad an idea OF success even II lney
had nominated ticket; that General WICK
ham told him as much, and also that he
favored the StraightOut movement because
no wanted TO defeat the id reputation
isIs Mr.. Lewis also SAYS that the Coali-
tionisIs had q majority Of the uncontested
delegates Of more than two TO one; that
sone Of the SiraightOut delegates told
him before they left Lyncbburg that
tbev had been grossly deceived By their
leaders. and that they intended to go
with the majority Of their party; that
Wjckb I'm declined the nomination because
campaign would have cost him 10000,
and no knew that would have been so much
money thrown away, as he would not have
received more than 5 1000 votes. lie also
saws that the Straghtouts at the election
will not number 1000 votes. Mr. Lewis
had an interview with the POstmsster-Gen-
ersl this morning, IN which he told bin
that the Straight0ut Republicans in Nir.
gipla numbered among themSelyes most OF
the intelligence of the party there, and that
they did not want any more Intelligence
admitted into IT, for the reason that there
was inst enough now to attend TO the Fed
cral offices, and that any more intelligent
men In the party would endanger.the posi-
lions held by the others. He says the
Suaigbtouts in the Convention were
stronger than be supposed they would be,
and that the fight with the Democrats VIII
be close one.
