WASHINGTON. June 9.-The supporters Oh

iay at the appearance OF the interview OF tne
New York Heraids Petersburg correspond.
emit with General Malone on the subject OF
Mr.. Gorbam's letter. In that interview
General Malone pronounces Mr.. Gorbam,s
account Of the conference between himself
and Senator Allison and others entirely cor
rect, and thus saddles the prospective canoi-
date with the heavy load oil having Deen
one OF the chief conspirators 10 tno
scheme TO transfer TO the champion
OF Reputation In Virginia the patronage
of the Federal Government In exchange ior
his vote In the United States senate. Hitnefto
Mr., AIliscn's friends have urged him upon
the distinctive feature OF clean record ana
an irreproachable life, but now, In the light
OF the disclosures OF GoIham aud Malone,
they are put upon the defensive and ma
themselves in The disagreeable position OF
men who must plead by way oil confession
and avoidance. Mr.. Allison must To-Day
take the consequences OF bis act years ago,
and Il will be some consolation TO the people
OF Virginia to know that the men VINO
were most Instrumental In imposing
and continuing upon them the YOKE OIL VIZ
liam Malone are now suffering the conse-
ouepces OF their crime. But for his con-
nection with the coalition that gave TO Ma
hone the Federal patronage IN Virginia Ia

iison could to-day present to the American
people record that would defy accusation,
but the damnable blot OF reputation now
| clings to him like a loadstone, and Will sink
him in the Chicago Convention. SOFT Is that

diana will make desperate effort to eject
his nomination. The Harrison Club, OF In

favor, will send TO Chicago, ii is said, 1000
men. who will cheer and boom him to the
utmost. But IL Is altogether probable that
the Harrison Republican boom will share the

Republican masses OF the West are for
| Gresham, It 10 said, Just as the
Democratic masses were for Thurman,
and the result will be similar. Ii
Is not often in the history Of political parties
that the people rise en- n'dSSe, but when
they do politicians must take back seat. II
is very evident that the people OF the west
are for Gresham. He may fail to obtain the
first place on the ticket, but II be is not on
it the Democrats will make large gains IN
that section OF the country. The snrewdest
Republican politicians here predict that
Blaine and Gresham will be the ticket.
