MALONE ON DICK.

of his continued presence in Washington
is well known to the public, and the results

matters that are attracting great deal OF
interest in political circles. particularly
among Republicans. These conferences

COMPROMISE.
There is another matter which may or

that is the proposition for compromise OF
the two factions, which WAS some time ago
submitted 10 General Malone by the WISE
Groner wing Of the party, with the request
that II should be submitted 10 the Malone
state Committee. Thus far General Ma
hone has taken no notice OF this paper.
and possibly il may be ignored altogether

as he "kickers" have rece. ved no recog-
milton from the General There are those
who predict this latter course, and among
IN 0pposition the terms OF the profered
compromise are deemed OF such a charac-
ter. while entirely fair, az 20 preclude &C
ceptance by General Malone.
MISCELLANEOUS MOTIFS.
