THE REASON WHY.
The Richmond correspondent of the Balti
more american (rep.) gives the followingrea-
sons for the overwhelming defeat Of Malone:
The colored vote in the republican strong
holds broke badly many of them voting
the democratic ticket. The democrats car
ricd Halifax, which was counted doubtful,
by a majority of 1000. This unlocked for
gain was caused by the colored vote boiling
Malone at the last moment. Mahone's ma
tive county, Southampton, was carried by
the democrats by 200 majority, gain OF
500 over Cleveland's majority. Riddleber-
gers native county, Shenandoah, was car
lied by the democrats by 100 majority. In
Petersburg, Mahone's residence, the demo,
Gratis made a gain of Co., Norfolk city,
which has until now been carried by Ma
hone, goes against him by over two hundred
The fight in Virginia has been simply q
fight for andagainst Malone. Ofall the men
who five years ago were prominent republi
cans, there is not one who did not vote
against aud work against Malone. In ad
diton, the most influential men who were
his lieutenants ia the readjuster contest
were against him in this. General Groner,
of Norfolk, who had been his efficient aid in
that section, withdrew from associations
with him, although he did not take an active
part against him. This weakened him
in that former stronghold. Exon.
gresham Hooper, late republican Con-
gresham from what is known as the
"bacll belt" another stronghold, not
only worked against Malone, but ran as an
independent candidate against him, thus
breaking down his ranks in that section.
Gov. Cameron elected on the ticket four
years ago, quarrelled with Malone four
months since, and thus his cordial support
was wanting while Senator Riddleberger
fell out with his chief also, and sulked, Only
coming around at the last moment, and
making one speech during the canvass.
While with such elements of discord among
his former most efficient aide, Malone had
to contend against some disatlection among
the colored voters.
