to the effect that Mayo will run far behind
Wise. The fact that Blaine is giving his
support to the Virginia straghtout republi-
cans grows more and more apparent every
day. 1t is known that the ex-Secretary is
in constant communication with leading
straightouts, and it is claimed upon what
appears good authority that his influ-
ence is keeping Dawson, the colored candi-
date for Congressman at large, in the field.
1t is well known that Blaine has always OBJ
posed Malone, and that in the contest last
year personal friends Of his kept up cam

during his speech. Laws also spoke, and
among other thing said: "a short whileago
he had been approached by his old associate

he was good fellow; that he had always

the last election, when they fixed things

that he didn't know whether Cameron had
