Malone not only does not intend 10 put
himself up but shat it would not be good
policy for him 20 head the ticket. Most
Of the "kickcrs who have been in town
this week are OF the opinion that Malone
viii not dare expose himself 10 any such
political danger rs heading the Republican
State ticket in Virginia. They argue rather
that he has a scheme on foot to have the
nomination rendered him, and then he
will decline and LET the nomination 60 to
some one else. probably % Park Agncw. Of
Alexandria. Va. OF 10 Judge Wood. Of the
Southwest The boss would personally
prefer ex-Mayor Lamb, Of Norfolk, but he
comes from the wrong section OF the
State for this particular campaign. the

Malone seems 10 have caught tip or two
from General Harrison. who wante larger

party Of the south. Under all the Circuiu-
stances Malone j. not likely TO allow
Lamb 10 be the nominee for Governor. IN
the event the nomination is not scJOped IN

sHERNAN's INFLUENCE.
There il excellent authority for the state
ment that Senator John sherman, OF ONO.
has been cTerting powerful influence
over Malone, and before the ONO senator
went 10 FurOpe ne had q long talk with
Malone in regard 10 the debt-quostiOu IN
virginia. Il i understood that Dir. Shcr-
man told Malone that the Republican
party Of the State should take "a different
stand on the dcbt-questiOn, ard that
he should favor the payment Of
larger amount than was provided
for in the Kddlebcrger bill. John sherman
Is one Of the worst mOney-sharks IN the
world, and any one would toe SAFE ia laying
a wager If dollars 10 cents that during hs
visit abroad he either has or viii confer
with the English bondholdors with regard
To debt matters Of Virginia. Sherman Keeps
his cold. fshy eyes vide open, too. and
if there is n chance 10 turn few thou

let the opportunity slip. The people Of
Virginia need not be at all surprised If the
forthcoming platform issued by Mahone 8

In the month of October, 1895. Senator
John Sherman stopped few days i'm wash
ingtOn being on his way 60 speak IN be-
half of Mahone's cause in Virginia, and the
dispatch correspondent happened to be pre-
sent when reporter for one OF the ASH
ington papers asked the Ohio Senator how
he could reconcile it with his conscience
and his former utterances to be going down

In the wear 1889 this same John Sherman
does not seem TO think that the debt ques-
ton has been settled. He Is, if all reports
be true. in for opening mp the question,
and with that end in view Is said TO have
been using his influence with Malone.
KICKEB TALKS.
One Of the anti-Mahone Republicans
who is heartily Disguised with the present
state of affairs said to-day that at Mahonc's
recent pow-wow held in Petersburg there
were not a half dozen men of influence.
"Just look at the great Valley Of Virginia,

party in Virginia was at the recent Peters

EXTRA SESSION.
Congressman Nathan Frank. Of Missouri,

| this morning which led him TO believe
! that there would certainly be an extra ses-

/ to state the exact time, but he thinks 1t
will be the latter part of October.
ALL-SIGHT SESSION.
Bosses Quay, Clsrkson, Dudley, and
! Others sat up nearly all of last night listen
/ inc TO the speeches of the Malone aud
| auti-Mahone people, and It is declared to-
| day that more than twenty-five speeches
were made. 1t was 2 A. NJ. before the

stood that he told Quay " Co. that the
plan submitted by Malone was no plan 90
! All for giving the other side show. IN

QUAY and GARRISON took the two plans to

If the A" kickers" consent TO 60 into the
