CaU on the Virginia statesmen.

I
SenatorJOhn G. Spooner, OF Wisconsin,
and General William Malone, of Viz
| ginia, were the two most distinguished
visitors at the Republican headquarters
Saturday. Senator Spooner said he was
on his wav to Nantucket TO spend q few
/ DAYS with bis wife and children.
General Malone made very short stay
in this city. Ito left in the afternoon for
the South again. He arrived atS:20, and
| before he had finished his breakfast
| Chairman Quay called to see him. They
! strolled off together for a talk, and later
| the Yirginian returned Colonel Quav's
visit. On account Of the rough treat
ment he received at the hands Of the
convention at Chicago, which seated the
majority of the Wise delegation, 1t was
reported that Malone h0i been
abandoned altogether by the Repub-
licsn leaders The attention Colonel
! Quay paid him yesterday IA cali
ing on him first created the impression
that Malone was to be taken hack into
favor again. 1T is understood thet
Mahones visit here was for the pur-
pose Of obtaining recognition by the
National Committee of the electoral
ticket he has in the field III Virginia.
Most OF the presidential electors in Nir

to Chicago As most OF the regular Ma

presidential electors in all the. districts
where the Malone delegates were thrown
out by the National Convention.

that regarding the situation in Virginia. -
In this letter General Malone makes
fierce attack on the WiSc-Cameron fac

OF the Republican voters of the Old Do
