Mahono has been very active during the past
twenty hours trying 10 make tho politicians bo-
iievo that Mr.. Borsnd OF Norfolk, was appoint
ell United statos Attorney for the Eastern dis
tict OF Virginia ON his recommendation. About
oil inst nahone had b DO with the matter was %
do what ho could against "isnhee Alan, OF
Richmond. Tho latter made a htri pull Tor tho
place. and was backed by many Of the leading
Republicans IA each Of the Virginia factions.
Malone held back until the last moment. ana
when no found that Congressman bOWdon lad
actually secured the appointment 81 boriand

ia tho other faction. They deny that Malone
has been recognized.
MORE lNFlCENCB THAN MALONE.
It should be borne IN mind also That Compress
man Bailey Browne was one Of The hackers OF
NOrla1i. The two Republican ccngressmeu
from Virginia have more influence Than Malone
and both Of the factions put together, and this
has boon demonstrated right along. The adsice
