t,rnaiely getting the ear q the admin
istration with varying advantages a
first, but with little Billy pressing up t
the front at every stride. At the starr
it was believed ia Washington that Mr.
Harrison would have nothing TO do will
Malone. and it is certain that for Ions
time he got the cold shoulder dished L
hun at every call he made on the Presi
dent.
Anon, the President was reported as
declining to hear any application unless
there was a pledge OF harmony. and n
the Anti-B0ssites continued to hold out
and maintain their opposition the Pres
ident perceived that as Malone had q
pocket majority Of his party the true
Republican rule would be the best. and
that is to establish the rule Of the Ma
chine and whip in or starve out the
kickers.
Boss Quay presided over the proceed
ings of the Iuquieition and Brady and
Groner appeared for the kickers at first
but retired homeward before the final
meeting.
Malone appeared for the whole State
darkies. scalawags, sbysters, and the
general interests Of anything IN the
Commonwealth. 1t was not long be-
fore he incised the face Of the e.. o. b.
with an engraved cut Of his own policy,
and. as usual. his willy tongue got
away with his enemies to the point of
making a Malone reservation for color
ed politics out Of all the rich pastures
that once were his in the halcyOn days
when Arthur wds President.
OF cource. if there were a Democratic
administration today, the " kickers
would strut homeward and raise Cain
in the party. But your political kick
or. - as fond a. he is Of his own conceit,
hath ever a concentrated eye on the
plumber, aud, as we remarked before,
he will be whipped before be will be
starved out when within range appear
TAT offices longing to be plucked and
Jobs to be worked.
1t is sbrewdly guessed, therefore
that ere the cock crew on yestet
morn the late pow-wow had decided
MahOne's lease for another term of
bossism, andstb "kIckers' had been
hitched up again and given one prelimi-
nary crack of the lash to steady them
in harness again.
Like COY old reynard Malone affects
not to want the candidacy for the gov
ernoiship, but az far as heard from he
Will be the candidate, and we bring
this fact 10 the notice Of the Virginia
Democrats with view to encourage
a thoughtful consideration of the
things necessary to defeat Malone.
We all know the elements that make
the working factors Of a successful
Democratic canvass in Virginia. and
as Malone is one of them, We will
happily find ourselves half furnished
and equipped beforehand.
Chairman Barbour Is familiar with
the other elements Of war, men and
Ainews, and doubtless we shall hear In
time from him aud our other men Of
might wha. they propose. The TINES
can say like that gallent colonel Of
curassiers when Iold by Napoleon that
France expected the Twenty-thirI to do
lis duty:
Sire" said the colonel, saluting
with his sabre. THE Twenty-third does
more than its duty
General Malone said to a reporter
that lit is q great mistake to suppose
that "a facuonal fight is being carried
10 the Republican National Committee.
Ifauy set Of men have made it appear
that we are engaged IN a faclional
scramble they have done the Repub-
lcan party Of Virginia great in-
Justice. No. we are not fighting Re
publicans, but we have good sized
controversy with the Democrats, and
We expect the voters of Virginia to de
eide i'm our favor when the case is fully
presented to them next fall. The call
which the State committee has decided
upon is broad enough for every Rcpub-
lican who has the welfare of his party
at heart TO stand upon.
"Our idea in submitting the call to
the officials Of the National Commit
tee. continued General Malone, - is to
have them pass on it and convince the
people that there is no disposition to
take an unfair advantage. When the
State convention is held there is moth
ing in the world 10 prevent any Nir.
GINA Republican going as a delegate
