I~yDiANAPoLIs, January 12.-Tbe biggest OF
eli the southern Cabinet booms materaiized
10. day. IL was borne In by a delegation OF
well.dTessed Nirginisns, representing In
twenty-five varieties the Republican party
forces OF the State Of frat families. They came
to tell Harrison all The good that could be said
about General Malone. what he had done
for the Republican party, aud the big things
he can accomplish II taken into the Cabinet.
Ope Of the gentlemen laid he didn't like the
coslition Of the Republicans With General
Malone and his followers, and opposed
Il, but I recognize In General Malone great
ability as q leader, and when be came into
our Republican state Convention l vel-
coined him and told him that be was the man
that we needed. IA leader be bias done
much for the party. There Is no man in
our section Ot the country who possesses
more the ability 20 successfully deal
with men and 10 lead them. II vas
under his leadership that we elected liepu0-
leans as the supreme judges OF Virginia,
aud he has increa ed the vote or the party
until we row have a majority OF 5000. In
1854 Mr.. Blaine. who, It has been supposed,
was more popular in Virginia than any
other Republican, received $4,000 votes.
General Harrison IT the last election got
1905 0 and some hundreds. In Indiana,
I%iinoi., Nebrsska, or any OF the other west
efu states the increase would be accounted
for % due TO immigration. hut Il Is not that
IN Virginia, FOR there Insult been as muCha s
an ola hare come into the state during the
last five years. 10 is | the result OF General
Mahone's leadership. I believe that no
southern man could better or more satisiac'o-
Tiig represent the South ia the Cabinet than
General Malone"
This i the line OF argument that was put
iortn by the delegation. and it was en- bodied
in au address oi great lencih, presenting va
riou' other reasons Why Mahone ought 70 lie
taken into the Cabinet, which was presented
to President Harrison this evening by The
spokesman Of The visitors, Colonel W.. J..
Craig.

upon General Harrison IN behali on General
Malone u a meeting otthe Republic m state
Committee n Virginia on December l3tn,
and the address that they bring with them
was formulated al that time. In 10 the tx
perieuces OF previous Presidents IN their en-
Geayor 10 bring about a better political feel'
inK in The south IL reviewed. u II stated
that il WAS = mistake 20 send men from the
North ~ ohiceholdcrs OF tie south, and lt
was demonstrated also That the policy
Of generous treatment toward Democrats
was also failure. Ia 1877 there was practi-
/ callvuo% Republican organization In Virginia,
when General Malone beaded the Liberal
movement aud brought into The Republican
party between $1,000 aud 1000 voter. Hls
influence. as demonstrated in the rapid in-
crease VI Republican votes, IS d~eit upon -
an Important reason why he should be Tue
/ representative OF the south. The dilerencesin
/ the Republican ranks Of Virginia, g. they are
called. are also referred 10 slightiuglg, and
the statement il made that m The belleI OF
the delegation fully 90 per cent. o. the Re-
publicsns ~ Virginia are followers OF Ma.
hone. The fsctioual trouble Ia the party
has been greatly msgulded, T. s. claimed.
/ After the delegation had lis talk Harrison
replied IN a pleasant speech OF gliticring
generslities, M which be did not connlt
himself 10 anything, concluding with the
remark "Now, gentlemen, none OK tuis
must 20 to the press"
Your correspondent, however. cofralled
one ofthe psrty and asked him, cpd Hargl-
son say anything about the Csbinet2'
"NO.'
"Bid he say anything about Malone ~
ono; there was not a id thing IN his
speech from ~beglnningto ending. We only
expected to put forth our views 20 hlm. and
il possible TO make an impression on ban 81
