a special dispatch from Lynchburg

A special dispatch from Lynchburg saya !:
When the charge was current some time
prior to the assembling Of the Petersburg
republican congressional convention that
Gen. Malone desired the nomination, and
had asked Congressman James d. Brady to
stand aside, Malone wrote letter indig.
nantly denying that he had any aspirations
in that direction. In that letter he said
much about the twill Of the people," But
in now appears that Malone very much de-
sired all the time that the twill of the peo-
pie" should precisely conform to his own
notions. Congressman Brady has written
letter to prominent Virginia republican, in
which Malone and his methods receive con-
sideration.
Brady says in his letter: IT returned to
the district fully expecting to be renom-
mated and reelected to Congress, and pre-
pared to overcome Gaines corrupt use of
money IN the upper counties of the district
depended implicitly on Gen. Mahone's
active support. Before comforting with him
| had arranged to open headquarters at
Petersburg" Brady then goes on to detail
with what ease he could have secured a
large majority Of the delegates to The con-
ventlon. Continuing, he says: Under
these circumstances and this condition of
Affairs you can imagine my establishment
and modification when tell you of nv con.
ferercs with Gen. Malone. The result Of
this conference with him was that he
agreed to take the nomination. I cheerful
~ aud generously yielded TO his wishes.
There can be no mistake upon this point
fJr he even advised aud urged that in the
event OF my nomination by the convention
| should get up aui decline in his favor,
and ho went so far is to map out the kind
| OF speech l should make in doing this.
Gen. Malone did not desire this to get out
His scheme was to have the convention
lorce the nomination upon him. told Gen.
Malone in this interview that in order. TO
max g the fight indicated he would have
to furnish means. He paid no attention TO
! to my repeated suggestion upon this point,
! seeming to think that mere mention Of his
, name at the convention, without any ether
effort, would unite all factions Congress

homes dupicity and show how Malone had
advised with and offered suggestions and
financial aid 10 Gen. Boiling, and how he
had done the same thing with Gaines, ex.
cepl as 10 money. Brady then Gays
There was no convention at Petersburg.

district is split wide opeu.'
| Brady, IL conclusion, says: II am the last Of
tho old guard republicans. and feel most keen

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER &c.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND says. "oilice hold.
ers are the agents of the people, not their
masters" That this is true no man with
the faintest knowledge of the principles up
on which this government was established
has doubt Nor will any man deny that
the President is an Office holder But yet,
under the Presidents orders, Mr.. Glasscock
is prohibited from accepting the vice-presi-
dency of the Virginia democratic associa-
ton of Washington. The President has a
right to see that Mr.. Glasscock performs
faithfully and efficiently the duties of his
federal clerkship, but his right to interfere
with shat gentleman's affairs stops at that
pji1t.
