Mr.. James Fisher, of Richmond, ex .secre-
tary of the democratic committee Of Virgin
is, having heard that Gen. Malone denies
having ever used or advised or suggested
the use of tissue ballots, says he has in bis
desk, at Richmond, letter from General

chairman ofthe democratic committee ofthe
| Petersburg district, and when Mr.. Hinton
| was the democratic congressional candidate
in that district, telling the State democratic
committee to send 30 election tickets to that
district as he, Malone, would provide the
democratic tickets for that district. The
committees tickets for that district were
therefore destroyed those used were tissue
| ballots, and Mr.. Fisher understood at the
time, and never heard it denied until Gener-
al Malone turned republican, that they
were supplied by the General.
