THE orroslrIoX TO MALONE

Mr. Blaine will, of. course, mako no
reference to politics in his remarks. lIe
will be thrown in contact during his stay
in Virginia with the politicians from ali
scetlons OF the State, and have a very ex:
cellent change Of fmagnetizing these leaders.
There IL no doubt that il Mr. blaine would
throw himself into the Virginia canyns,
he would mike splendid impression and
do more to aid the anti-Mahone fight than
all the Republican leaders in the State,
Ills friends in this State, however, have no
expectation Of his participating in Vir.

Among other things c1pected to be- dectid.
cd at this meeting Of the committee is
whether or not candidates. q their faction
shall be put up in Jorgenson's and Paul,is
DISTRICTS. 1t is understood that the latter,
J w. Cocran, the colored chairman Of tie
rommittee, will be nominated. Ii this is
done, It will probably defeat Paul. In the
last election bis mn IorIty was only about
700. lie then had a strsightout opponsnt,
but his Democratic oppnnent was not as
strong as Judge Q. Ferral, the gentleman
now pitted against him. Paul has always
acted with the Republicans in the House

in his future aspirations. II the next
House Of Representatives be lost to the
Republleans thus, a lack OF votes they
might Otherwise get from thp Collitionists
who may be defeated, Mahono will nc
doubt expect the National Republicans tc
hold Mr.. Blaine responsible for That cl
