Whilst there Is no certainty about the

has settled down 10 tue belief that Harrson's
Cabinet IL practically made up, snd matter
of crest satisfaction among both Republicans
and Democrats Is that the name OF Malone Is
not on the list for anything. Indeed, Gene
raj H. ison seems TO have turnt a the cold
shoulder upon all the reDeRaJes 10 the SOutn.
Apparently he has no use for the Mahones,

man Brady should get more recognition
than Malone. The truth OF the matter Il
most OF the Republicans OF prominence look
upon Malone as a nasty little pot-bouse poll

apostacy was Tar too high. The shiny alliance
formed when Malone was 10 the Senate gave
the Republicans control OF that body, but II

cans are telling the biz men that the best
thing that could be done with Malone would
be to bauish him-send him TO south Ameri-

Virginia. Blaine loathes and despises him
and would take PLEASURE In sending bin to
some remote corner OF the earth.
