WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Virginia Re-
publicans in this city who have q political
organization that trains after the acknow-
lodged boss, General Malone, are smiling
satisfactorily over the condition OF Dir.
Blaine's health. They are hoping that the
Secretary will not be in tho way of the re-
nomination of Harrison because they real.
ize that il Blaine is the Republican
nominee in 1897 ond should be elected 1t
would be weeping and waiting for the
Virginia crowd. The friends of MIR. Blame
have never forgotten Mahones famous secret
circular issued a few years ago and theJ have
little or no use for tho Mahone crowd.
The organization alluded 20 above is holding
meetings right along, and the most strenuous
efforts are made % capture small places Tor the
honchnen Of the boss, and now tr2t Langston Is
cheek by Iowl with Malone once more, INA, iac'
has made tho nog.O contingent little more
saucy. Langston, from all accounts, feels that
he Is really bigger boss than Malone, inssmach
AS the latter got his seat In Congress ia spite OF
the protests OF Malone, aud had, II n claimed,
the innncnco Of the President In his nght Tor the
seat.
CoNpRLLEp THE wBrrg BOSS.

eau National Convention Is packed tor Harrison,
Langston 10 Is asserted, will insist that ne coul-
OF the President, and also caused him to extend
the olive branch 10 the ex-member from the
Petersburg district. Indeed, thefo Is not thc
slightest donDt that the first overs'ires were
made by Malone which resulted In the makeup
between himself and the cOlored boss. 80 II u a
question OF considerable dispute as 20 who Is
now entitled % be regarded as the real Doss OF
what little Is left OF tho Republican party IN VIZ
glnia.
TWO POLITICAL Suicides
In the city to-day. IL n said that he expects an
appointments soon 10 position on the Court OF
Claims. This Is hfe-place and IL pays ven.
Mr. McComas Ia one OF the brightest young men
In the Republican party aud no could have con-
tlnued his career IN the House but for his sui
cidal policy OF supporting the Infamous force
bill. He IL now a shining example OF tho wrath
OF tho voters OF his district. This week the author
OF that Infamous force bill has also been turDod
down In his ochemes In Massachusetts The
Legislature OF that ancient commonwealth -
going 10 pass fair roapportiOnment OIL
and the outrageous proposition OF Lodge where-
by the Democrats would be certain OF only Two
congressional districts out OF the thirteen, has
been rejected. IL is believed the plan OF the
Legislature will give the Democrats nc least I'VE
and probably six OF the districts. Win the gains
that we will have In future congressman cleo
tions In Michigan and Wisconsin IL will be easier
to retain control of the House.
LTBBBYs NEW CLAY"
Ex-ConRressman Harry Libbey, OF virginia, Is

interest in politics these days. but IA paying at

and his friends did much last year TO bring about
the defeat OF Bowdcn for Congress by having
