The EX-SENATOR II THE ROCKER.

and was courteously received.

his HEALTH.
! II never enjoyed better health in my
! life" said he in reply TO the reporters
query. II am seldom sick. Ny only
| trouble is my throat. which often affects
my speaking, but tonight 1t IS not bother
| inS me ut all"
How many speeches do you expect to
make in the canvass? was asked,
! THAT / do not know yet, as / have no
| programme arranged, nor do | knowswhere
| my next address after tomorrow night Will
| be delivered"
| SOME SPICY TALK.
"What do YOU expect to speak about
mainly tomorrow night?"
| Now, | am a newspaper-man myself
and like to give reporters any inform atom
proper. but some things / shall say to-
| morrow night 1t would not be well to tell
in advance. But am going to tell of Ma
homes record and hope to enlighten tho
voters in some way about the Republican
candidate"
THE OUTLOOK.
what will be the result in your coun-
=" Shenandoah is all right. Malone is
making a big fight up there, and he hopes
( TO carry the county, because 1t Is my home.
| Mckinney, though, will get 4 majority
How large viii be McKinney's majority
in the State?"
We'll my own opinion is that it will be
even greater than Fitz Lees, but some of
the Democrats think the State will be
close. Hon. John 4. Buchanan told the
voters of Staunton Monday that the State
Will be close. and in the strongest terms
urged organization and work. OF course |
recommend this, too, but my opinion Is
that the organization and work and the
votes of the people Will make the majority
handsome one"
MAHoNE's CAMPAIGN.
"IsNIahone spending much money and
| making much of an effort to carry the
State 2"

siderable money with which TO run this
campaign"
Are the northern Republicans who
have been sent here helping Mahone's
cause?"
u think they are. They talk the tariff
and national issues without touching upon
State matters. Burrows is a good stumper,
and is evidently helping Malone consider
ably. He has pleasant way OF entertain
ing the voters and makes good impress
SION"
MALONE As A SPEAKER.
"Is Malone an attractive speaker?"
HE certainly is not. and cannot hold
the attention of an audience, but he has
very good-siZed crowds to hear him."
HE DID NOT SAY IT.
at is reported that Malone in his Staun-
ton speech said he remarked to you in the
Senate that he would pay no attention to
Won or ANYTHING you would say at any time
or at any place. Do you recall the occa-
sion?
Il do not, and Malone never said any
thing OF the kind in my hearing"
Speaking further, Mr. Rlddleberger de-
claTod that he told member of the Ma
tional Republican Executive Committee
months before the State Convention met
if Malone was nominated he would not
support him.
General Malone.
General William Malone and his son
Butler went to the Davis House, at the
northwest corner of Franklin and Cover
nor street.
This is a familiar building to the Gone
raj. as of late years the Davis House has
been extended down Franklin street to in
clude what of old was the Whig office,
where he used TO have his headquarters
when his party controlled the State Of Nir-
gina. In the large room on the third
floor fronting both Governor and Franklin
streets the General had many a mus
ter. of his political adherents, and
hence went his mandates for the gov
ernment Of his party. The changes
made by which the old printlng-othce
was converted into IA hotel, have, however,
oblterated this room as 1t was when he
occupied it with such regularity. Mrs.
Davis. wife of the proprietor Of the house,
extended the General a most cordial well
come, and assured him that she would put
him lust where he used to stay, but when
she went up she found that the chamber
had another occupant, and apartments on
the second floor were assigned the RepuD-
lican aspirant for gubernatorial honors.
FROM STANTON.
General Malone came to Richmond from
Staunton, where the Republicans held
two meetings and the Democrats one on
Monday. At the day meeting at the skating
rink General Malone, Congressman Bur-
rows of Michigan, and Mr.. Eli Riddleber-
per. brother of the ex-senator, addressed
a large audience, in which there were esti-
mated to be at least three hundred Demo-
Gratis drawn by intense curiosity TO see
Malone, about whom so much has been
said and written since he became the head
and boss of the Republican party in this
State.
At the same hour the Democrats held a
meeting in the courthouse. where Hon.
John A. Buchanan. of Abingdon, ex-Sena-
tor II. II. Riddleberger, and others spoke.
THE HANDKERCHIEF TRICK.
While the ex-senator was speaking some
one of mischievous proclivities put a Ma
