&c. urging the appointment of Gen. Ma
hone Col. Craig told Gen. Harrison that the
South had to have representative 10 the
Cabinet, if the party's interests were to be
consulted at all, and that Virginia was en-
titled to the naming of the representative
man. end that Gen. Malone WAS the only
man who would be satisfactory TO the party
in the State. He declared that there was
practically no opposition TO Mahone IN
Virginia any more, and that at least
ninety-nine out Of hundred repub!i
cans wanted him in the next Cabinet
Ia the documents presented to the Presi
de1t.elect stress is lai! upon the fact that
in 1881 it was the vote OF Malone that
saved the national Senate for the republi
cans, and as to the present condition OF the
party, the memorial points out that this
wear $50 900 republicansvotes were cast in
the State. an increase Ct 10000 since 1880.
When the delegation retired We are told
that Gen. Harrison carried the document
into his library, tossed it upon the big table
with heap OF similar documents, and wen
out for q walk, so it is probable that NJ
homes boom rel oses with many score OF
other booms upon the table, unread and
unthought-of By tbs President elect. a
citz OF Indianapolis told reporter that
1.-The delegation had come more for their 10
cal benefits than for Mahones glorihcation.
What they wanted to impress on Gen. Har
rison was that previous Presidents, in their
endeavors to bring about better political
feeling in the South, made the mistake oil
sending men from the North as office hold
ers in the South, and the policy OF generous
treatment towards democrats was also
failure" From Raleigh. n. g., comes an
account of a row created there by resolu
ton adopted Wednesday night By caucus
ofthe republican members of The legislature
indorsing Malone for a Cabinet position.
The vote wac very close, and some B aine
republicans who would have antagoniz d
Mahoue we're not admitted to the caucus.
Friday night there was another caucus
The debate was long and heated and at
times violently personal. Il continued IN
Ii midnight. when resolution was adop'
cd resciadine the. one indorsing Malone.
