A Virginia republican. holding an import
ant position, here to day, told the GA
ZETTE's correspondent that from what ne
had learned since he arrived, ne was III
duced to believe that the administration
would stick to Malone, for the one reason
n0nI0
rendered By the republican party in Nir
giois between now and the next national
republican convention, would be the Cast
ing OF the vote of its delegates to that con-
yention, and that as Harrison, silly as 1t IL,
is playing for denomination, he Will con
tiuue to support Malone, as the General,
though defeated by an overwhelming ma
iority, still has control of the party organi'
zation in the State and does not intend to
reljnouish it, no matter what the "kickers"
may do or not do.

while his respect for man with Inherited
wealth is not increased by that wealth, his

dustry behind it. For this reason, ne seys
be does not oppose MIR. Brice, VINO wants to
be q. S. Senator from Ohio. MIR. Bilce,
be says, ia largely interested 10 the Rich
mond and Danville and the Tennessee sys-
tens of railroads, and in other southern en-
erprisee. and WAS one of the first men in
the North to recognize not only the cspa'
bIlities of the South, blu. of the southern
people.

paigns, deserve recognition, and that ne Is

Scott says ss he came down tine Midland
Railroad this morning he saw lying on the
bill Sides near Clifton, the skinned carcass
ca of the $50 cattle that we're killed by the
accident to cattle train there two or three
dayg ago. The railroad company, Mr..
Scott says, sold the cattle by auction for six
ty cents head, supposing the purchaser
would remove them, but in this they were
disappointed as the only part of them that
was removed Was their skins.
