The Dispatch correspondent has had a tall

internal revenue viii not be appointed mn

them will 90 10 the Malone wing of The
party and am quite certain the ants WI
get the other. II is my opinion that Fat

hone would like 10 appoint. but Malone
has found that he cannot get both. and d

QUITE ACTIVE.

the guhcrnatOrlal question, sand that luol
now the Malone people were quite active
they are holding conferences almost daily

running Malone for Governor, but really
do not think Malone will care 10 make the
race. You will find that when the TINT
comes he will pass. Now the question rs
! Who Is "A good man 10 put up! Malone
personal preference would be Lamb, OF
| Norfolk, but he comes from the wronl
part of the State 10 do the Republican
| party any good. just now think most OF
! The Malone people are looking 10 judge
| Wood. of the Southwest. as perhaps tho
strongest man they could run. His name
is certainly being considered, and It woul,
not surprise me if he were 10 be taken up.

He SAYS that the county convention ha
not vet been called. and mp to the prescu
