The Malone Men Must Go.

THE PRESIDENT WILL MAKE VIRGINIA AN EX-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CHANGES TO BE MADE
AND NEW YORK.
It is stated on very good authority that the
President has determined to follow an alto
gether different policy with relation to the ap-
pointments in Virginia from that in other
states. It is said that all the Malone appointees
will be dismissed upon the ground that. the
appOintees made under the Malone rule were
piratical, and the President will trust to public
sentiment to sustain his action. Protests are
being made from all parts Of the state against
the continuance Of the Malone control, and it
is expected that about five hundred appoint
ments in the state will be made next week.
Pressure being brought upon the President
to induce him to make appointments to affect
the election in other states meets with but poor
success. The Indiana men are complaining
that that state is getting altogether too little
out food. The New York statesmen are very
eager and anxious, and declare that something
before the fall elections. They think it neces-
sary that the "moral support of the admins
tration" should be thrown protecttvely over
doled out to stimulate the workers. 1t is not
likely, however, that the President will follow
their advice, deeming it wiser not to meddle
too much in state affairs. His policy will
be to bring about a unity OF action between the
factions In the state, by refusing to recognize
eth naf 1ne e aad then
tios' without the use OF patronage.
Attitude Of the New York Democracy.
MR.. JOHN TREANOR SAYS THERE IS GREAT
UNANIMITY IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRA-
TIoN.
Mr.. John Treanor, New York democrat, who
was connected with the national committee
during the campaign last year and who has
just come over from New York city, said to
a STAR reporter: ''AIr. McHenry may have
heard New York democrats express dissatisfac-
ton with the administration and its course, but
he certainly did not get the true sentiment of
the party there. have mingled with the lead
ing men of the several factions and there
is almost unanimity of expression in favor
of the administration. I have talked
with the most prominent Tammany
with Sheriff Davidson, who represents Irving
hall, and 1 have heard the County democracy
leaders express themselves. All of them are
delighted with the conduct of the administra-
tion SO far. There is more harmony, more cor
dial party feeling within the democratic party
of New York now than ever knew before, and
1t Is all owing to the good sense and good judg-
ment of the President and his cabinet. Why,
the administration is but eight weeks old, and
our folks have not expected that within
that short time everything could be done. I
give you my word there is no dissatisfaction
among New York democrats. l have heard
more criticism of the administration the few
hours I've been in Washington from men who
are disappointed about Office than has been ut
tered by all the democrats of New York. Our
folks think the administration Is doing Just
right"

Feeling so Well that He Thinks or Re
suming Work On His Book.


NEW YORK, April 29.-The liberated por.
tions Of Gen. Grants throat, from which broken
down tissue has been soughed away, have
materially improved. The cancerous trouble
at the base of the tongue is neither lessened no0
is it at present aggressive-it is quiescent.
Meanwhile the generals system improves. The
weather OF the last two days and that of to-day,
though unpleasant TO persons out OF doors, has
been as a tonic to the system and spirits OF
General Grant. That depressing element OF
the warmer days is wanting and the patient
feels brighter and more vigorous. He has now
so far improved physically that his mind is be-
coming engaged with the blocking out of work
upon his book. This occupies his faculties and
the result is good.
General Grant became quiet a little after 10
O'Clock last night, and at IL O'Clock he slept.
From that time on until O'Clock this morning
he slept well, with occasional wakings. When
the general aroused this morning he felt better
and stronger than on Sunday, which was at
that time the best day since the improvement
began. When DIR. Douglas left the house at
S:15 O'Clock to-day he remarked that though
there was some thickness OF speech the general
had better and easier command of the organs
of speech than has been the case since the at
tendance Of the doctors became constant He
said the general was better than at any time In
q month.
