MahOne VS.. Blaine.
[Lynchburg Virginian.1
A circular headed ''personsal and conf
dential,' purporting to emauate from the
Republican State Executive Committee, but
which, as an accompanying note over his
own signature shows, was really prepared
by Malone himself, was several days ago
addressed privately to leading Republicans
in all parts of the State. This circular, as
shown by copy of it published in the VAL
len Twginian, is direct attack en- Mr..
Blaine, and its object was to unite the Vir-
ginia delegation to the National Republi-
can Convention against his candidacy. AS
usual. Malone makes the fight personal
matter and bases his opposition to Blaine
on the ground that the latter had been
hostile to his (Mahone's) success. Follow

nv election to the Senate would lessen the
possibility of delegate for him to Chicago,
because he felt that knew he was no friend
