MALONE MAD.
Malone came to town this morning with
his war paint on. He registered at the
Arlington, and lost no time in showing
himself at the White house. His inter
view with the president was not satisfac-
tory. One of his friends says hot words
were passed, end the little Virginian is as
mad tonight as when he arrived. The
cause of the trouble is that Riddleberger is
receiving too many executive favors. Ev-
cry demand of Malone since congress ad-
journed has been ignored. The admins
tration thinks ne has had recognition
enough, and that it is time for him
to take a back seat. Riddleberger
has not declared his intentions. No
one knows definitely what position he will
assume. The president has been coquet-
ting with him. Riddleberger has made
most Of the opportunity, and has secured
several fat Offices for his friends. It is this
which makes Mr.. Mahome mad. If the
tide does not turn in his favor he will Join
VanWyck in making things lively and IN
certain next session. The Democrats do
not want him. The Republicans think he
has been petted too much, and that it will
be good stroke of policy to let him under
stand that he is no longer in situation
to dictate terms. It is bad thing for
Mr.Mahone. Mr.. Riddleberger seems to
enjoy the thing hugely, as he gathers IN
the plumes of state.
