WILL MALONE BE THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR GovERNoR2-If the 'kick.
ers" show disposition to acquiesce in the
Brady.Mahone compromise so-called, which
was "sell," if not sale. then Malone
will be the candidate, for then he could the
more effectually humiliate the "kickers;"
but if they respect their boasted 'man-
hood" and refuse to ''eat the leek," Ma
hohe will be afraid to be the candidate
Whether the candidate Or not, he is, and
will continue to be, the leader Of their par
ty, and they have proclaimed that with Ma
hone at the head of their party, there car
be no hope Of its success. Such has been,
substantially the averment Of the Vaitey
Vuqinian, the Spirit Of the Valley, and
other Republican journals.

from the Ebbitt House to the White House
in Washington some weeks ago to protest
against being subjected by the President
any longer to the contumelious and tyran-

Col. Brady, has received an office, and he

far as President Harrison is concerned, are
not only gone, but are forgotten"
