What to you think OF Senator Malone p"
"Well, as he Is in Old Virginia, do not
know as much aoolt him as would II he
were In our own State. but ! can tell you
don't think he amounts TO anything now.
He's played out. He Is man OF ability, a
good organizer, a:d an orator, but his princ!-
pes have been for q repud!stion, and he Is a
hadjuster, and taijustinG means, In plain
English, stealing. may have to fight duel
for saying that, but put IL in-I mean 1t. 1t
