Iished erroneous interviews
..The papers did not know they were such.
Malone evidently bought up the reporters.
Half of them have no politics anyway
"What do YOU think Mahone's real object
was for such conduct
..Why il was simply this Malone j.
losing favor and the confidence Of the
monied Republicans around New York ana
Washington. and by this scheme. which he
thought would leave the impression upon
the Republicans that the hopes Of the Dem
ocratic party was blasted, he hoped ne
could reclaim this lost confidence, when ne
really knew the truth was entirely % the
contrary Of what was stated
"Do you think the project had lis desired
effect;"

" How about the campaign fund in Nir-

THAT is something | don't want to talk
about No one would like 10 speak of the
money that is necessary i'm any object. That
is something that should be kept quiet. and

TIE "HERALD's" CORRECTION.
The following is the article that appeared
in yesterdays Ucrdid. which senator Bar
bour referred TO above rs the correction OF
the alleged interview:
General Malone came down 10 Wash
ingtOn Yesterday and will return 10 irgnil
tomorrow. He expresses himself "a hope
ful of winning his fight. and says that ON
fair count his majority ought % reach twcn-
~ thousand. He il. however, getting in "a
good position 10 hedge in ease hc Is beaten.
lie il already claiming that whole lists of
registered Republican voters in Richmond.

are being thrown out 10y thr Democrat, on
technical grounds. The truth j. that Gene
raj Malone Is not talking so hopefully Of
carving \irginia.as he was ten ddy. ago.
1T j. noticeable also that his Republican
friends who were willing to wager large
sums on his success last week are becoming
less aggressive and insisting upon larger
odds. General MahOne explains hi- pres
cncc here by saving that the present inter-
regnum IN the campaign enables him to
conduct his operations from this point quite
a. well as from Petersburg. and gives him
also the additional advantage sf being able
TO consult personally with the leading adj
ministratiOn people ia this city.
''>cnatOr Barbour. who j. al the head 0f
the Democratic Campaign Committee in
Virginia. positively disdains the correctness
Of the statement going the round, Of the
newspapers that h. had complained Of the
treatment Of Mr.. Bricc. chairman Of the
