JUDGE HUGHES AND THE CABINET "A


dispatch from Richmond says:
"It is understood that Mr.. Baine's friend
in this State are behind the effort to put
Judge Hughes in Harrison's cabinet. The
best way, they think, to oppose Malone is
to on-r the name Of good, unohj ectionable
man from Virginia. With this idea they
are actively pressing the name OF Judge
Hughes. It's believed that Mr.. Blaine has
been consulted in this mat err, and through
him some of the most Influential repuOli
cans at the North have been induced to
press upon Mr. Harrison the importance of
securing harmony bstween the Malone and
Wise wings of the party in Virginia By rec
ognizing such So mot ectionable man as
they present Mr. John s Wise. it is b.
lisved, wonld be delighted to see Judge
Hughes in the cabiaet Discussing this mat
ter, prominent politician said OF course
the appointment Of Hughes would disgust
Mahcne, but it would give satisfaction to al
the balance of the republican party in Vir-
einis' Hon. John S. Wise arrived here to-
dsy from Nav York and is in consultation
with his friends about Mshoue's peraisteat

REPRESENTATIVE O'FERRALL. who has
announced himself q candidate for The DEM
ocratic nomination for Governor, says ne
thinks he democrats will declare agaiust
any Interference With the State debt" Wen
suppose, as now seems highly probable, the
republicans, oopfdent of their ability to car
~ every negro vote in the State, no matter
what they do in respect of the debf, ano
knowing that change of eight hundred
votes at the late election would have
made the State republican, shall declare
that the present unsettled condition
of the State debt, which permits the
rich and the liquor dealers to pay
their taxes with deprecated coupons,
but forces the poor TO pay theirs with good
money. and which tends to keep people ana
capital out of the State, is unjust and rum
Gus. and that every consideration OF justice
hooor ami regard for the States Interests
demands the only settlement of the Gebt
that can ever DE Effected, one that Will be
satisfactory TO the creditors ; 10 such case,
win every mans material interest IN the
nte involved, and with hundreds OF PEG
ME who like to be- for their own reasons, on
the side Of the national Administration,
would Mr.. O'Ferrall think it wise if the
democrats were TO declare against any inter
ference with The State debt? Mr.. OFerrai!
also lays that in the next State campaign
che national tsrG question will be rele
gated 10 The rear" And this, too, in the
face of the fact of the avowed policy OF the
Incoming administration to make the tariff
the object of its greatest solicitude, and to
so distribute its patronage in Virginia az to
develope and promote throughout her Dor
ders feeling in favor Of protective tariff
Neither the debt nor the tariff question can
be eliminated from the uext Stale campaign,
and all attempts to ignore or disregard them
by the democrats will be attributed, and
correctly, to fear, and will have the natural
effect of such a cause.
