FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondence of tho Alexs. GAzarrn
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. "a, 1889.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. "a, 1889.
There Is no doubt of the fact that the cold
ness of President Harrison has struck re-
sponsve chord in the breasts of a large
number of his party, and that ne mas pro.
voked au opposition among the repuoilcsns
that has already attained wide spread ol'
mansions, and. what ia worse Tor MIN, tnao
ia rapidly increasing. The cause, as was
the case with his democratic predecessor. is
the "big head" disease that is necessarily
fatal. because those fIlicted by it refuse TO
submit to treatment until too late. On the
Tanner business he ia already ratified, and
fears to appoint successor to that famous
ex surplus ripper, lest he make another mig
take. Rattles are the precursors of fan early
collapse.
Senator Barbour, acting chairman of the
democratic committee of Virginia, was here
to day In talking about the political pro
ceediDgs at Abingdon yesterday, he said that
Judging by the newspaper accounts, If Gen.
era Malone shall not make more converts
10 the other parts of the State be intends
visiting than he did there, it isn't prt bable
that his personal elec,ioneeripg trip Will
profit him to any great degree. MIR. Bar
bour Gays the democratic campaign is pro.
crossing favorably, and that he thinks with
long pull and strong pull and pull
altogether this time, the State will not be
seriously bothered hereafter with Ma
honism.
MIR. Brady, collector of internal revenue
for the Richmond district of Virginia, an
original republican, and still en- ultra mem.
Der of the republican party, at least on ma.
tiona sffairs, and who will probably cast an
open ballot for Gen. Malone, told friend
here yesterday that with The great repubii-
can opposition to Gen. Malone, he didn't
see how it could be possible for the General to be
elected and that the Generals efforts for, and &C.
ceptance of, the gubernatorial nomination were
inexpicable blunders
A rumor is sfloat here to the effect that EDITOR
Hatton is not so much ensmored of Gen. Malone
as he forme rly was, and that though the General
seIt him copy of his Abingdon speech in ad-
vance, he declined to publish it, thereby allow ing
his brother Editor Fox, monopoly of that sric c,
the trte and absurd assertions in which have
been refuted Thousand times.
The Virginia democratic association Of this city
has. IN addition to its meeting hall, opened bus.
mess office at 1926 F street. which will from ow
until the night of election day, be open night as

ing democratic affairs in Virgins can DO obtained
| The committee has secured quite number OF
tho famous tissue ballots first introduced in Vir-
einia by General Malone when he was running
the democratic machine in the Petersburg dis
trict. and which the General used in his snc-
cess ful eforts to elect democrat to Congress in
that district State Senator Walton Moore, of

SOME UNoBsERvANT people really believe,

tense. The danger that cropped out in the
Petersburg district last fall, turks In every
other southern community in which the ne
groes either have, or think they have, a
msiori,y, and it is to avoid the fruition OF
that danger that the white people OF the

Dynamite for the Car.

LONDON, Sept. "a "A story reaches here
from St. Petersburg on what appears to be
creditable authority that Just previously to
the Cars departure for Copenhagen a
chest of dynamite exploded at the Peterhof
station. The station was badly wrecked
and railway signal mau was killed. 1t is
fully believed that it was intended to have
the explosion take place when the Gear
passed through the station on his way to
the train; but tina. through some mscalcu-
lation 1t occurred before the time ef his

GENERAL MALONE must be man of in

GENERAL MALONE must be man of In
finite effrontery, for yesterday he stood up
before an audience at Abingdon and de.
clared for the right CT the people to choose
their representatives, for honest methods at
the polls, and that his friend Senator Sher-
mans doctrine that anything is justihaole
in law and morals that will beat down the
democratic party is radically wrong, though
he knew that every well-informed man who
heard bin was we'll aware OF the facts OF
the manner in which he had his delegates
for the Norfolk convention seected-as In
this city, for instance; that he is the man
who introduced tissue ballots at Virginia
ELECTORS, and that he has approved and sus-
tanned the stealing of registration books and
the registration of the inmates of grave
yards in order to attain his objects. Gall is
great and Malone is its prophet.

ses to settle the debt If he be elected Gov

fact THAT save only and except for General
