and elected VIM. f. Smith, of Clinton
county, Chairman Of the committee. 1t
was said tonight at the headquarters of

his name merely having been
suggested in connection with
it. When this suggestion had
been conveyed to Mir. Cooper, he at once
declined to accept the position on account
of ill-health. The committee to-day or
ganized for the first time. Mr.. Smith.

Leaders-RiddIeberg Frigid.

His Waning Power Over the Readjuster
ers-RiddIeberger Frigid.
Malone, says a Washington special to
the New York Sun, is likely to come to
grief like other political autocrats before
him. He made large contracts with the
Republican leaders, but he is pOwerless
to fulfill them. When he entered the
Chicago Convention as a delegate, Ma
hone assumed by that act to take COM
mand of the two factions Of which his
following was composed, and to dictate
all the nominations in Virginia. He
claimed that he was the sole dispenser OF
power and of patronage.
This assumption was unpleasant both
to the Republicans and to the Readiusters.
who were thus treated as mere voting
cattle. To the former it was unpleasant
| because they Outnumbered the latter at
! The polls three to one, and to the Read
iusteTs 1t was unpleasant because the
secondary chiefs proposed to divide the
honors and the spOils without Mahone's
interference.
Mahone's arrogance and extreme sell
ishness drove off some of the foremost
ReadjUsters two years ago, and broke his
sceptre in the LEGISLATURE. That expert
ence did not mend his methods nor his
manners. On the contrary, he became
still more exacting and offensive until
several of his prominent lieutenants re-
vOlted and refused to submit to further
insOlence. Sims and others openly bolted
in the Virginia delegation from Arthur,
and thus made a breach which has wild
ened every day since the convention nOm-
mated Blaine.
The Legislature failed to provide for an
additional electOr, to which Virginia is
entitled under the new appOrtiOnment. 1t
requires tWO-thirds of the members to call
an extra session with the consent Of the
Governor. The Democrats wanted the
Legislature convened for the additional
vote, believing they would carry the State.
Malone violently opposed this policy, and
declared it should not prevail. But when
the necessary number of signers had been
obtained Gov. Cameron issued his prOcla-
nation calling tine Legislature, and hence
there is a feUd between him and Malone.
This is by no means their first difference.
Cameron comes of good stock, but got en-
tangled in the Beadjuster scrape, so that
he lost position with his former friends.
He is courageous, and Malone knows bet
ter than to trife with him personally.
There is no love between Malone and
Riddleberger. When the latter entered
the Senate he found Malone had grabbed
all the patronage, and was sustained by
the administration to his own exclusion
from any recognition. He accepted the
situation without complaint, and waited
for time to make things even.
