Gen. Malone has pursued the course which was
expected that he would adopt In regard TO Lang
ston's candidacy for Congress. Through the
county committee he has issued decree Of out
lawry, 80 far a. Langston IL concerned, and the
pronunciamento was circulated throughout this
city and the congressional district on saturday

MALONE PRRFRRs vRNABLE TO LANGsToN.
With anything Like an equal division of the
negro vote between Malone and Langston, the
democratic candidate Ia bound to win. Mahone's
attitude toward Langston is fairly stated should
imagine, by one who has always been attached to
his fortunes. This man, speaking without any

that Langston viii never represent this district in
Congress General Malone has everything at

"Then it is part Of the Malone plan to have

general Manonen was the response, "does not
announce his plans through me- but can tell you
this: While he has no love for venable, he would
rather thousand times over see him elected as
negro candidate. II Arnold, when the day OF
election has come, Is very much weaker than
Langston, venable win be elected, and ne added
leans who prefer him to Langston."
II Will thus be seen that Malone is lighting
Langston In self-defense. 1t Is this fact that en-
courages democrats and makes them hopefui OF
victory. Hence Mr.. veneble's canvass Is con-
Quoted with great vlgor. The announcement Is

candidate, while Hon. John Goode Is also set down
for several efforts The biggest lit that Mr.
Vena0ie has had yet, however, was from Roger @
Mills, OF Texas, who opened The campaign In this
city with glorious speech from the democratic
standpoint What with mass-meetings and bar
becues the district will be lively from now until
the November election. MI. Venable himself Is
making a personal canvass that, thus far, has
been well received. The significance OF q demo-
cratic victory In this district may be better under

was enfranchised has the "Black Belt" as we are
called Jailed 10 give the most overwhelming re-

NEWS NOTES.
Colonel Brady, who is the representative OF Viz
ginia on the republican national committee, has
recently published letter In which he deals Gen.
eral Malone some very savage thrusts. The COL
0nel does not hesitate TO say that Malone does
not desire the election OF Harrison and Morton,
because he Is afraid OF the Blaine influence which
Is supposed 70 be behind the man from Indiana
