plainly to friends Of Harrison that Malone con-
trolls the republican majority of Virginia. and ex-
poets to control the next delegation to the repub-
lican national convention. Malone retains the
respect and confidence of ClarksoD, and absolutely
dictates the sppointmet of fourth class postmss-
tors Clarkson d all that he could for Malone
in behalf of Windsor, and after Agnew was nomi-

Malone is likely to lead an snti-Harrson dele
cation to the next national convention. Hsrri-
son is using Federal patronage TO secure delegates
He is an xous for denomination and public men
