A Petersburg special of November 9Th TO
the New York T,naes says; Malone, the
defeated and disappointed asp'rant Tor
Governor Of this State. was interviewed
here TODAY. He was found at his house IN
Market street. Ia order TO reach MGhOne's
library the correspondent had TO pass
through the Office in the basement Of the
house. In small, stuiy, low-pitched
room, where all the campaign work was
conducted, were two or three sleeping
henchluen who had evidently exhausted
Themselves in reading the returns Of yes
terday's election. Seated before a blazing
log-fre in the library Malone became very
telketive He said he did not believe that
there was any chance Tor the republican
Dar4v carving this State for some time 10
come. Certainly not, said he, rs long rs
the Democrats have the machinery and
conduct the elections with their present
methods.
ooh. yes" said the rejected little
boss" with deep tinge Of irony; the
fairest." Then, IN answer to another ques-
ton "No. I've not had any cOmmunica-
ton with Harrison or Quay since the cleo
ton"
"How about tho published accounts Of
Quay's furnishing you with money for the
campaign"
:" lie never gave anything for this State.
IF he did it was branched of somewhere
else"
"To Ohio" the correspondent suggested.
Possibly he laughed. - was never
an aspirant for the Republican nomination
for the vice-presidency," said the defeated
Bricadier. :" knew that neither the Dem
ocrats nor the Republicans could for many
years to come give that place to southern
man | do not believe that my party has
lost its senses. Until 1t does there Will never
be a souiherner on its presidential ticket.
Continuing on this line, he said: johnnie
Wise pressed me TO seek the nomination
last year. In this very library" added Ma
hone, stroking his long beard. " JOHNNIE
Wise pressed me 10 60 for the vice-presl-
dency. | said. No, / don't want the
place and if | did ] could not get It,.
Mise then said, well, / believe could Sc
cure the nomination. and will try 1t II you
won't have it," Malone SAID that Wise
at once sought the influence Of his Ma
homes friends TO assist him in pushing
his claims for the nomnation for the wee
presidency. Wise, said Malone, slavery
good fellow, but he gushes over. He can
not keep a secret to save his life. Wise
lacks a balance-wheel and mighty big
one, too"
How about the Craftsmanship Of the
Republican State Committee, General o?
viii there be a vacancy in that place before
the meeting of the next state ConventionF =
mo: a vacancy can only occur by my
death or resignation. 1t will be o cold,
very cold day when | resign, and | may
live to be a hundred years old" laughed
Malone.
How about the kickers? Won't they
squeeze yOu OUT"
"Oh, they don't amount to anything"
said he. "'rhey don't number 200 IN the
State
Malone SAID he believed that Federal
election law is perfectly practicable IN con-
gressiCnal elections. The result OF yester-
DAVIS election invites such interference III
these contests. During the interview Ma
hone said the only book he had read since
the war was Dick Taylor's "reminiscences
of the Late War" Il haven't read news
paper either for long time said he.
''1hat paper, my campaign organ, the
school and TdrN. l believe they call it, !
have never read a copy OF" Malone said
he was the first man in Virginia to advocate
suffrage for the negroes. This he did IN 1861.
