The more the matter Ia canvassed the
more apparent II becomes that Malone has
few friends IN this part Of the State. The
Governors action, while II cannot change
the result in this congressional district, has
had the effect TO encourage the anti-Ma-
hone element OF the party. The leader OF
that wing In this county, Captain A. NJ.
Lawson, Is much encouraged by the sup
mort ne Is receiving from Republicans here
a. well as by the congratulations which are
no,IripQ in upon him from all parts OF the
State. General Wickham. among others,
congratulates him i'm the name OF the party
ON u good work he has done, and also on
his personal success In the matter OF OPP
posing the machine.
Jnst here II may be well to correct the
mistake which prevails that Mr. Fife, the
Mahoneite county chairman, withdrew
| from participation in the meeting before
the sni-Mahone resolutions were adopted.
"Nr. Fife left the chair" but before doing
so be called DR.. Wood. a very Jealous Ma
honeite, TO preside In his stead. He left
| the chair to defend his title to the county
| craftsmanship, but he did not leave the
stand. He was member OF the Conven-
| lion TO the end. The fact IL. the Malone
ties in the Convention made itunpleasantly
| apparent that they were there TO represent
| Malone, and every movement smacklng OF
Mahoneism was promptly squelched by the
| colored Republicans.
