WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence COLUMBIA HERALD
WAsHINGToN, Aug. "A, 1891. Elk
Senator Malone, of Virginia, is daring
enough ana INSCRIPTIONS enough to at
tempt almost anything, but if my in
formation is correct, and there Is every
reason to believe that 1t is, his latest
scheme is one of the most desperate in
which he ever engaged. He once cap
Edred the State of Virginia and got Nun
self sent to the Senate by getting con-
troll Of th5 so-called lre-adjuster move
In6nL, and he is now plotting 10 get con-
troll of the Farmers Alliance movement
in that State, in order to capture the
legislature and get himself again sent
to the Senate, this time as successor 10
senator Daniel. The plot Is all mapped
out, and the decision Of the republican
State Committee of which Malone Is
| the owner, to nominate no republican
candidates for the legislature was part
and parcel thereof. The word has
| passed along the republican lines that
| they must support the nominations of
| The Alliance for the legislature If told to
4 do SO by their local leaders, and they
are to be told to do so in every instance
| that blind Observation-Disclosures name is
not yet to be used-can be secured from
| the farmers candidate to vote as they
may be told for the successor to Sena-
| tor Daniel.
Harrison republicans have mover
been plenty outside of the holders ofthe
Federal office, but there is now mani
fest disposition even among that class
of republicans to get aboard or the
| Blaine train; which Is believed TO nave
| been given impetus enough by the semi
endOrsem mt of the Pennsylvania con-
Vention TO enable it to make the trip 70
nomination station without any serious
difficulty, even should Mr.. Harrison at
tempt to play the part OF train wrecksl
by placing distractions on the track
which he may or may not do, as cir
cumstanceS may determine.
All the ruInors about the coming re-
tirement OF Secretary Noble and Com
missioner of Pensions R3um have Deer
revived this week. One of the causes
for this was the statement made BY
Secretary Foster that Mr.. Harrison
. would return To Washington the mrs
: week in September instead OF remain
I ing away until the first of October as III
/. had originally contemplated, Oocaus'
there was some very important Ousl
ness connected with the Interior de
APARTMENT that required his personal at
IGNITION, The only question pendinl
before the Interior department, 30 Ia

! SIdereu important enough TO requlr
! the personal attention of Mr.. Harrison

| which is probably having ITS effect j
making Mr.. Harrison change his plan
Is, that ho can pull the wires for secui

4 House than anywhere else.
1t is now absolutely certain that
, very large amount of the AZ per cer
bonds will not be presented for o.

J. Foster is now putting his trust in til
5 belief that the most of the bonds thu
a will not be presented for extension al
l., IN the hands of guardians or trustee
and that it will be long time befol
Lhev are presented for redemption an
that they will come in slowly and
small quantities. Should he be WRONG
