LANGsTON The President accorded
the Professor an audience on Friday.
and that greatest statesman informed
the President that he is willing to 20

do all in bis power to uphold the Re-
publican standard. He says he cannot
forget that Gen. Malone and his hcnch-
men did all they could to defeat him

/ but he does not propose TO do any thing
that will operate against the probable
success Of the party. lie does not not
think it advisable 10 place Malone at
the head Of the State ticket. because il
is believed that the latter has so many
personal enemies throughout the State
that he could hardly be expected
to succeed. Professor Iaugston
says he proposes 10 accept
the terms Of the compromise in good
faith. but he sincerely hopes the Nor

may resign. His official life has not
been a bed Of roses. but has been full Of
care and responsibility. He has be

tions and ieal0usies of the work

may think it better to resign now.
rather than wait. There is no doubt
that there will be strong opposition t.
his election for another term after the
two years expire. Several of his
stauncbest friends in Baltimore have 90
expressed themselves, and one who has
attended several sessions Of'the General
Assembly. and been his staunchest
friend, SAYS he opposed a re election
because POwderly Is not always true 90

why Mr.. Pow derby may resign is that
