Supply His Own Grease"

We don't think that General MALONE
can get up any demonstrations in Vir-
ginia that will induce the BLAINE man.
ayers to spend in this State money which
they so well know they can expend to so
much better advantage in Ohio, New York,
New Jersey. and Connecticut. Which OF
these four States is it that the Republicans
could not expend million OF dollars in
with better prospects OF success than would
be theirs II they spent the same amount in
virginiaf But they won't have q million
to spend in all the States, we guess. The
Washington correspondent OF the Alexan.
dria Gazette writes as follows:
A well-known Virginia Democratic Re-
adjuster. in the city to-day, acknowledged
to the Gdze!te'S correspondent that Malone
had no chance OF carrying Virginia at the
next election. lie said that none OF the
men OF his party with whom he had talked
were going to vote for Blaine.
Mr.. DeZendorf, In n talk with the Ga
zetle'S correspondent this morning, said that
be believes there is some chance OF carry
ing Virginia provided all the elements OF
that he thinks every other opponent OF
Democracy in Virginia except Malone and
Brady are in favor OF such unity and will
make any reasonable personal sacrifice to ei-
feet ii, but that the two men referred to will
have their own way or none at all, and that
their insistance upon the present Malone
electoral ticket will surely give the State 10
the Democrats and lose the Republicans
from twenty-five to thirty thousand votes,
as at least that many Republicans will
refuse TO support that ticket. He
says that Senator Riddeberger and ex-
Senator Lewis proposed that a new cleo
toral ticket, which would have been salts
factory to every Republican in the State,
should be named by the congressional dis
trlcts, but that that proposition, like all the
others, was rejected by Malone, who will
have no other ticket than the one he has
put in the field. He also says that the
congressional committees appointed by
General Malone at his State Convention
have given general dissatisfaction through
out the State, and will probably result in
two anti-Democratic conventions in some
OF the distrlcts-his own, the Norfolk dis
trict, for instance.
a New York Republican, in the city to-
day, one Of the inner tub, SAYS that the
National Republican Committee. whose
headquarters are in New York. have no
hopes OF carrying Virginia anyhow, and
viii certainly send no money to that State
until they are assured that the two wings
OF the party there have come together and
that there Is much better prospect for sue
cess there than is apparent at present. He
also says that Malone aud his methods are
hardly more popular there than at home,
and that though he will be allowed to run
the machine in Virginia, as he has the ne.
groes in his control, he will have to supply
his own grease.
General MALONE IS nowhere. Ohlo's
forty-six electoral votes arc involved in the
October election, and the SCOTT law is
again up for discussion and action. What
can he offer that is to be weighed in the
balance against those forty-six votes and
the detection likely to be caused by the
SCOTT law and the efforts OF the Prohibit
tionists?
