General Malone, who has been here for
months seiziDg all the little 4.h class post

positions in that State that were filled by
democrats, went home this morning to make
arrangements for the meeting of bis State
committee and his private workers, to be

here that he is much pleased with the letter
of Mr. Heermans, and that he will show 1t

by the "Sickers" against the anministra-

them no quarter, and why it should throw
its whole weight in his favor, as was done by
the Arthur administration.
Senator Ransom left here this morning for
North Carolina. He stopped here for day
or two on his return from New York. He
saws it is too soon to talk about President

the next democratic Presidential candidate
will not be resident of that Slate. Hssays
he thinks any body outside OF New YORK
can be elected next time, aud now believes
that such would have been the case In 1883.
He says Mr.. Harrison is certainly making
no converts, and is as certainly losing
friends A Dispatch received here from
Buffalo, New York, says that Congressman
Farquhar, republican, ofthat district says
that Mr.. Harrison has the big head, is at.
tempting to establish one man power, and
that the party that elected him must take
him down several pegs. Senator Pugh, of
Alabama, says be thinks any democrat
