WASHINGTON, October 8.--Senotor Ma
hone spends more tmc in Washington
than Viginia, notwithstanding the iact
that politics in his own State have become
decidedly mixed. A close inspection oil
the list Of employees from Virginia in the
Department discovers TINT they are all
Malone men; Democrats urc very scarce
Very few Of the offices throughout the
State are filled with other than friends Of
the rcadjus,er movement. Malone appears
to hnvc been given full swing in the way Of
making appointments, and has not been nj
all backward in improving bis chances,
a correspondent met Senator Niahonc
just'as he was entering the Treasury build
ing. "Wllat effect will Blaine's remarks
have on the readjuster movement" he was
asked.
1--WE shall carry the State, anyhow" he
replied. " don't think he has done us
much harm 50 fur. The people Of Virginia
know their own business MS well as Mr.
Blaine does. They understand their in.
tcrcsts,. and talk from MI outsider no mat.
ter OF how much importance hc be, will
be taken with due allowance. I haven't
time to 50 into a discussion Of our position.
The people of this country have formed an
erroneous idea OF US. They think we are
trying TO shirk paying honest debts; we
simply refuse to pay that portion OF our
debt that properly belongs to West Vir-
Sinia."
"ls Mr.. Blaine going to stump the
State ?"
81 know nothing about it. All know
is that VIC will carry the State on election
day" -
Representative Dezendori; anti-Nfahouc.
was found later. He was confident OF be-
ing reelected, though he said the admin
stratlon was doing all in its power to de-
feat him. II Blaine will come to Vircinia
and speak it will cost Malone 10000 votes.
and Malone would probably be routed.
Strange activity was manifested to-day
at the headquarters Of the Democratic Con.
sressional Committee. The two or three
clerks employed here were rushing around
stopping every now and then to direct a
circular to some citizens IN Ohio, Pennsy-
vania and New York. At this late day
they commenced with work that was done
BY the Republican Committee months ago.
\ member ol the committee stated that
they had late Information from pennsyl.
vania, New York and Ohio that made them
very happy. Pattison was sure OF being
elected, while there would hardly be a
contest in New York, the Democratic ma.
jority would be so large. When asked
upon what he based his information, the
member grew solemn and refused to state,
The probability ia because he could not,
There il no abatement among the Republi-
cans here that both New York and Penn.
sylyania will be saved, despite the efforts
OF the Half.brecds TO aid the Democrats,
1t is generally understood that Mr.. Blaine
will soon stump Pennsylvania for Beaver.
The Stalwarls do not pretend 10 deny that
he would have n great influence, he being
classed as an Independent.
An evening paper here today published
m interview to-day with friend OF Mr..
kasson's, in which'hc alleged the friend
was quotedas saying that the member from
Iowa had criticised Mr.. Blaine in the
course he was pursuing. He further
stated that,Mr Blaine was simply trying
to gain strength enough 10 dictate the next
Presidential nomination, with the end in
view OF having himself made Premier. Mr..
kasson was B!aine's nominee for Speaker
at the opening OF tho present session. They
have always been great friends. Meeting
Mr.. kasson tonight d correspondent
asked him il he had lnsdc any such etatc.
mcnts as are given above Said Mr.. kasson
with some emphasis: ut is not true, |
have spoken to no one regarding Mr..
Blaine's course. Mr.. Blaine appears 10 be
able to take care OF himself. As Repub.
lican am in sympathy with him."
"Do you think he will become Pres.
dental candidate in 's4. - ''7
'Thats a good ways ahead, and it is lif.
iicult to loBee such things; should not be
surprised il ho were. however" as
"What do you think Of the Republican
prospects in New York and Pennsylvania
this fall?" 5a4Jl 4m
"From what | have seen and heard I
should Judge that the regular ticket will be
elected in both States. The Democrats
appear to be leaving It all to the Indepen-
dents, and ure doing nothing. Democrats
dislike work Of any kind, you know. !
nm told one-third OF the Democrats in
Pennsylvania will vote for Beaver"
"Do you think Congress will have time
to dispose Of the report Of the Tariff Com.
mission in the short session."
,"That will depend upon circumstances.
The revision Of the tariff is cof the most
important questions now before the people
OF this country. Great care should be taken
with SO imporIanta subject. II the com.
mission make tholr report promptly and
We OF the Ways and means Committee are
not bothered too much with outside mat.
ters, l should say that We could accomplish
II great deal toward remedying the evil Of
the present tariff. When the Ways and
Means Committee meets in November il
will prepare itself for the report Of tho oom.
mission, and BY carefully going over the
tariff We will be in good condition to di.
gest the subject. Nothing will probably be
he done with it, however, until the first OF
January" H. 5Nl7a6 .E.Gtsa ny s.&
