paipp. Mr.. McKelzle said las regards the
present contest in Virginia II is Useless to
conceal the fact that Malone is already de
fsated. His course towards those whom he
terms the kickers has b7en so outrageous
and objectionable that while many OF them
will not vote the democratic ticket they Will
let the democrats vote alone, while they
remain away from the polls that they
have any love for democracy, bnt thew have
sought in vain for other remedies. Malone
will not study the experiences OF Others OF
his kind He is headstrong, obstinate and
dictatorial and will have his own way, cost
what it may. The national committee,
headed by Senator Quay, Ciarkson " Co.,
agreed with General V. d. Grorer, john ;.
Wise, D. F. Huston and myself that 1t was
eminently proper to adopt the proposals

Malone would have been democrat. As
it was he put himself on the market and the
republicans of the Senate made an agree
ment, approved by Arthur, that if he would
co.operate with the republicans he should
have the entire patronage of Virginia and
not single portion of it could be obtained
without his endorsement. That supreme
