POLITICAL PREDICTIONS.
Malone will Crawl into His Shell if
Blaine is Nominated.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The follow
ing is a special to the EUeniRg Star: "The
Richmond Coalition Convention to con-
sist of Readjusters and, as Malone be-
lives, of Mahone-Arthur Republicans,
will assemble in this city Wednesday next.
As indicating the zeal and earnestness
of Malone in the cause of Arthur. it is
already arranged that at the conference
of the faithful to be held tonight the en-
tire programme of the convention is to be
cut out and the work of the party of the
people finished Just two days i'm advance
of the authorized time. Malone himself
is on the ground and will suDerintend all
the proceedings in person. He is out
spoken in his antagonism to Blaine, and
radical in his demand for an out-and-out
Arthur delegation. He will have no
dalliance with the sympathiZers of Blaine,
nor will he tolerate the election of any
av0wed Logan or Edmunds man. As to
Blaine, should that gentleman receive
the nomination at Chicago, il is an open
secret that Malone would at once con-
clude to retire from active politics. i is
not believed, however, that even in that
event he would cooperate with the
Democrats, but only retire, bidding long
farewell address to the national, and.
perchance, to State politics as well. In
that case the younger men among his
lieutenantS, such as Gov. Cameron.
Messrs. Riddleberger, Wise, Blair
and Brady would come more
prominently to the front. Indeed the
visit the other day of Messrs. Riddle
berger, Wise and Hooper to Blaine,
coupled with the notorious hostility of
many of his leading followers to an Ar
thur delegation, would seem to imply in
the cases of these parties an expectation
of MahOne's early disgruntlement as
something which they anticipate is likely
to happen in national politics and their
consequent assumption of the command
made vacant by his resignation. The con-
ventiOn will assemble at the theatre and
Will be numerously attended. Some seven
hundred and fifty or eight hundred dele
gates are expected"
DEZENDORF NOT REGULAR.
Senator Sabin, Chairman of the Ma
tlOnal Republican Committee. has writ
ten letter to J. f. DeZendorf, of Virginia,
explaining that certain photographic
circular addressed to the State Committees
which was sent to Mr.. Dezendorf few
days ago was so sent by the mistake of a
clerk, and was not intended as a recogni-
tion Of the Dezendorf Convention as the
regular Republican organization of Vir-
ginia. In conclusion Senator Sabin saws:
While l Will not assume to speak on
authority for the committee, will say
that in my judgment the National Repub-
lican Committee can only recognize one
convention in Virginia as responsive to
its call, namely, the convention to be held
al Richmond on the 23d instant"
BANK DIRECTORS AS PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTORS.
PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-In anticipa-
tion of the Presidential vote being very
aIOGh tbiS fc boS,
caused in Republican circleswith regard to
the presence of directors of national banks
on their electoral ticket. 1t is feared that
such directors might be construed as Off
GERS of trust under the United States,
inasmuch as the national banks are
created by the government. 1t seems that
upon the Republican ticket for Presiden-
tial electors there are Jno. A. Leisenring,
of Mauch Chunk; Calvin Wells. of Allie
ghany, and Jas. Dobson, JnO. Mundell,
and Jos. B. Altemus, OF this city, all of
whom are directors of national banks.
Doubt has been expressed as to their eli
gibility, and the whole subject is being
thoroughly discussed.
