frame or mind since tue elcctiouS VI i"S'
Tuesday and evensome OF the most prom
inent Republicans admit that the iortl-
coming message of the Chief Executive
will have to be considerably remodeiled
since the disasters to- the - grand old
party" ON the 9Th instant. The uprising
in Iowa and the narrow escape from ae-
feat of Mr. Allison render IL necessary tor
the President to train his language carefully
in regard TO the tariff question. The lead,,
ers Of the party in thcWest have discovered
that the New England and Pennsyivania
idea will not suit the farmers OF iowa, ana
the result Of the election on the 5th IL
warning to Dir. Allison that LIS couIso
heretofore in the Senate has not been III
the interest of the agricultural classes.
TAHITI TALK.
II is said that President Harrison Will
temper his tariff talk to suit the signs OF
the times. The message is being prepared
now. and will probably be ready for the
final touching up on or before the 2otn IN
slant. The President IS also expected 10
60 II rather mildly on the southern ques-
ton. too, in view of the overwhelming 1e-
feat of Malone in Virginia. Some OF the
Presidents closest friends do not hesitate
to say that the leaders of the Republican
party were badly imposed upon by Ma
hone, who represented that If lie were
given control of the Federal patronage III
Virginia he cOuld carry the state. these
friends now see that the protest made Dy
General Groner and his friends was an
honest representation of the feeling IN the
party against Malone. and they have also
discovered that Mahone's nomination
aroused such feeling among, the Demo
easily beaten by $4,000 votes without the
aid of tho "kickers." Some OF the proml-
nent Republicans who have been heard TO
express themselves freely say that so PIT
ter is the feeling against Malone in Ad--
rnnistration circles that 1t is doubtful IL
more than a third of his henchmen ap-
pointed TO positions in Virginia can be
confirmed il the kickersn will put IN
charges against them. II Is even said that
General Harrison might he induced 10
send in other names to the Senate when
Congress meets.
THE GERMAN-AMERIcANs.
The President is also highly wrought up
over the attitude of the German-Amerl-
cans in the recent elections. and Bepubli-
cnn congressnen who have been coolly
treated at the White House within the past
week cannot help letting alp few re-
marks which 60 70 show that General har-
rison is painfully aware OF the fact that
his Administration has received a couple
of black eyes within the past ten days.
Whether the result of the recent cleo
tons will be a warning 20 the Republican
leaders or whether it viii make them des-
perate and act as an incentive TO make
them do their worst when Congress meets
remains to be seen. The blatant Fellows
are more determined than ever to attempt
the passage of the proposed southern cleo
ton law, but some of the more cOnserya-
tive Republicans are frank enough to de-
clare that such law could never be passed,
and if passed, they gay it could not be en-
forced. The probabilities are that the Of
fort will be made in order 10 give Blll
Chandler. Blair, and others chance TO
villify the South.
BURROWS.
It is also reported that Julius Cesar Bur
rows, who rOamed over Virginia in the
campaign. is cooked and primed Tor a
wholesale Misrepresentation OF the South.
n will De remembered that MIR. Burrows IN
bis speeches in Virginia had a great deal 60
saw about the repeal Of the tobacco taxes,
and he put the whole blame upon the
Democrats in Congress TO LIT these taXes.
In n speech delivered IN Alexandra the
night before the election Congressman By
mum, Of Indiana, related an incident
which goes to show that Burrows was
the last man in the world who should
have alluded TO this matter. Mr.. Bynum
was "a member OF the Ways and Means
Committee in the last Congress. RE says
that Alr. Kelley. Of Pennsylvania, offered at
one Of the meetings Of the committee 3
resolution to place q clause IN the bill
wiOing ont entirely the tex on tobacco;

that Burrows, Browne, and Mckinley voted

INTERNAL REVENUE.
During the whole Of the Forty-seyenth
Congress the Republicans were IN complete
possession of all the branches Of the Gov
ernInent-the Executive and both branches
OF Congress-and it would seem that if
they We're 50 anxious to wipe our the inter-
nal revenue then was their opportunity:
But they didn't do II then, and they VIII
probably not do it now that they once
more are in complete control. The fact Of
the matter is that large element in the
Republican party want the tax on tobacco
retained because il Is sucha large industry
OF the South.
4 prominent Republican, who was for
many wears member OF Congress from
one of the western States, said TO the ms
mach correspondent last night that he had
never entertained for one moment an idea
that Malone could be elected Governor IN
Virginia. The backing which the Admin
istration gave him WAS as foolish piece OF
business. in his opiniOn, "a could have been
ATTEMPTED. Malone" said this ex-member,
represents the very worst type OF politl-
cal bossism ever known or and 1t Is bless
ing to both parties that he has been COM
Dletelv crushed out. The cry Of fraud -
thin and mere baby talk. My information
is that all the decent people IN both parties
In VIRGINIA determined TO get rid OF Ma
hone finally and forever" 49,,
hisgcntleman being out of politics ana
having settled down TO practice the pro
fession OF law said that he did not care 70
have his name used.
One of Mahone's henchmen was found
sauntering through the lobby of down
town hotel this evening, and being asked
what he had TO say regarding the crushing
defeat of Malone he replied: don't care
to have my name printed. rs | am not now
in politics. hut with the exception OF the
Norfolk district the election was far aud
square all over Virginia. IL was farce IN
that district. as will be shown IN due time;
We knew six weeks ago that Malone would
be beaten by from 20, 900 TO $1,000 votes WITH
out the aid of the kickers. The Democrats
were aroused TO greater euoIts IMAM ",
before, and they could have won easily
without any revolt in the Republican
party. The kickers didn't do it."
There is an old negro in this city VINO
has gone to Norfolk every year to vote
since he has worked here. He always votes
the Republican ticket. This year hewent to
Norfolk, but refused TO vote. On return
ING TO Washington he said he did not vote.
and being asked his reason, he said that
when he got to Norfolk he found nearly oil
the leaders of the party-white and black
working against Malone, and be therefore
concluded to return without voting, as he
did not feel justified in opposing Malone.
In an interview here to-day Senator Bar
bour says that the great Democratic Veto
nv in Virginia was due to the fact that the
full Democratic vote was pOlled, and that
thousands of Republicans remained away
from the polls, owing to Mahone's unpopu-
larity.
A Virginia admirer of Governor--elect
Campbell, of Ohio, received to-day letter
from that gentleman in which he says,
among other things: " ] also rejoice with
Won in the downfall of Mahoneism IN Viz
ginia and have no doubt that the old State
IS fully and finally redeemed
