WASHINGTON, Dee. 10.--Friends of Rid
dleberger and Malone says that their oogi-
ton is misunderstood with respect 10 the
reorganization Of the senate. Tt is a fact
that Butler. Of South Carolina, is not
paired on the question Of reorganizatio on
with Don Cameron. This will give Riddle.
berger ana Malone the balance Of power.
But they are not disposed to use this
balance of power for the purpose Of fore
ing upon Republican senators any can
didat9 for Office who is not
acceptable to the Republicans. Nor is it
their purpose to cause any disagreeable
issues. Mr.. Gorham, moreover, it can be
stated, upon good authority. does not wish
to be a candidate for the office of secre-
tary unless he can receive the cordial sup
port of the Republican senators, but there
is no disposition On his part TO cause any
division in the party. Senator Riddle
berger speaks confidently of the pros
poets of anti-bourbon success
IN Virginia next year, and
says that Malone is also confident. The
colored Republican voters, who are more
easily discouraged in state elections and
more inclined to remain away from the
polls, act very differently at a national
election. "They as greatly fear the cleo
tlon of a Democratic president said MI.
Rlddleberger, "as a protectionist does a
free trader, and it is not expected that
there will be any difficulty in bring
Ing out the colered VOTE" He says, more
over, that If the northern Republicans
have misunderstood the result OF
the last Virginia election, and that if the
returns are properly studied, it will be
seen that the white ~readjusters vote was
increased over the vote given for Governor
Cameron. There is no reason to think
that this increase will be lost in the presi-
dental year and with the colored vote
there Is good reason to believe in anti
Democratic success.
TIL NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
Further consideration of the plan of
senator Frye for the restriction of repre-
sentation in the National Republican con-
Ventlon from states which do not casi Re
publican electoral votes, shows that the
plan will not be adopted by the commit.
tee pext week. One of the active COM
mitteemen said to-day: "Mr. Frye's plan
is in substance a modification of the plan
OF Martin, of Kansas, which was voted
down at the last meeting of the
committee. There will be no purpose so
far as can learn to modify the system of
representation. 1t is too late to do that.
Moreover, the changes suggested might
conflict with interests which we do not I'M
derstand. To restrict the representation
in the states indicated would be to put IN
necessary limitations upon Republicans.
1t would be to say that the Republican
vote in those states has reached its maxi
mum, and the Republicans need
not exert themselves to do
any better. Moreover, if Arthur
is a candidate the south is the field where
he naturally would expect to secure dele
gates"
"Does the committee understand that
Arthur is a candidate"
II have no doubt of it," was the reply;
and it will be the effort of Arthur's friends
to secure the convention in the east. That
appears to me to be the only real contest.
The choice thus far lies between PhiIadel-
phia and Indianapolis. One hundred
Philaselphians are expected here
Tuesday. Arthur's friends are feeling
their way in New York to ascertain wheth-
er, without any factional opposition, he
can secure tbs delegates there. We have
yet to hear the result. There seems to be
a disposition on the part of some of Ar
thurs friends who are opposed to the
Sherman influence to say, we have had
enough of the Ohio idea. Let Ohio go.
We can carry New York and can elect a
president without Ohio So far as I
have observed in the west the
attitude towards Arthur is simply of toll
e~ration."a
John Sherman does not conceal his hos
tility to Arthur. There is much difference
of opinion among New York congressman
as to Arthur's strength in New York. Sen
ator Miller is quoted as saying this: "Gen.
Arthur's weakness in his own state is very
great, and he cannot secure the delega-
ton or any considerable part of it."
Mr.. Miller's voice is for Blaine and he be-
lieves that Blaine would get as many of
the New York delegates as Arthur would
under the new rule of election by congress
sionsl districts. Frank HiscOck tells his
friends that in his district Blaine is strong
and Arthur weak, and that Arthur cannot
get any delegates there. A Democrat re,
presents the great Blaine county of New
York, the Westchester district
and word comes from there
that not Arthur but Blaine delegates
will be elected from that district whether
Collector Robinson says yes or no to it
1t is very certain that if Arthur cannot gel
the hearty support of the New York dele
CATION he will not be a candidate. Some
of the committeeman are very confden
that Blaine aspires to the nomination
Some of his old friends speak earnestly
and openly in his favor.
