He said. II am ashamed ut this late DAY
tiiab there should be found one republi-
can in all Virginia pretending to know
cayihiag and yet SO stupid as to sup
pose it possible that the President
would be guilty Of the unreasonable
and unnatural thing of removing from

and a political and personal friend, who
has serv> !. him with the most loyal de-
votion in two national conventions,
Leading in the first the remarkable
ms rement which, by one fell swoop,
immersed from the head Of the Virginia
delegation its chairman, Malone, car
ried fifteen votes from Sherman TO Ear
rison. and drove the entering wedge into

counted solid for the Ohio Senator I'M
til the blow struck him FROM Virginia,
made gaping and disastrous rent
through which more than a hundred
Shermanites found their way into The
Harrison camp. And just the other
day at Minneapolis, where General
Malone in his intense hatred OF Har-
rison accepted terms from his old arch
enemy. Blaine, and made the fight Of
his life against the President, carrying
all but nine delegates with him, / ven
ture to say that Brady performed for
Harrison there work scarcely second
ary in importance to that at Chicago
four wears before. Why, the fellow who
should seriously talk of the President
turning out Brady would be looked On
by those who know, as being of pretty
close kin to the ridiculous character
portrayed by Shakespeare-that OF the
vain man. most ignorant OF what he is
most assured, and like the glossy ape
playing such fantastic tricks before high
Heaven as make the angels weep" etc.
| declare to you that it is absolutely IA
tiguing to the patience of an ordinary
man to speak Of q thing which IL its na-
ture is so preposterous. Life'stoo short
for such q waste OF its precious mo-
ments. And Gen Malone is not en-
gsged in any such undertaking, neither
IS he thinking about it or discussing it
to his friends. he has quit that some
time ago, since he has sense enough 10
know an impossibiiity when nc sees it,.
He's not u fool. Why, | assure you
that at the time this rumor was started
certain of the friends of Brady ard Ma
hone were talking earnestly Of a re-
union and m earnest cooperation be-
tween them in the future. Malone
never won q victory when Brady was in
the opposition to him, and he never lost
one when Brady was his second and by
his side. And I am sure could prove
by as responsible gentleman as any in
VIRGINIA That Gen. Mahone, in very
recent interview with him, said of
Brady all and more than | have indi-
Gated. These men may, and should, in
the very near future, again be friends.
Stranger things have happened. As to
Brady's visit, I have here two kilograms
showing YOU that he came here to serve
personal friend in matter outside his
own State. lie attended to that, and
by his kindly influence procured em-
ployment for deserving young womap
of much respectability-a native and
resident of Virginia He concerned
himself not in the slightest about his
own oiiice, and only laughed when in
formed that somebody had said he was
in this city in defense of his official
head
a well-known North Carolina demo
cratic politician here to-day says there
is no doubt that the democrats will hay
trouble there. but shat he thinks they
will pull through all right. He says
the great trouble there is the fact that
the third party men will not listen 10
democratic speakers, and have been in
structed to that effect by their man
ayers. as one of them was forced by
Gov. Jarvis to confess before an audi
ence a day or two ago. Their own
speakers, he says, fill them up with the
grosscst transformation. which they ac-
cept as gospel truth He also says they
are mad and logged, and openly ack,
nowledge that they would rather have
Harrison than Cleveland elected. SO
intense Is their hatred of the party they
have deserted, and so bold are they in
expressing it, that the republicans, who
a. one time thought of uniting with
item, have abandoned that idea, and
will run ticket of their own, believing
that the split in the democratic party
is so wide that this is their chance ioi
getting Sin it,"
The managers of the G. A. r. here
to-day issued statement to the effect
that they have provided accommoda-
tions for fifty-fve thousand, and that il
any more come they must look out fol
themselves. They did this in conse-
quence of the applications for accom-
modations by thousands more.
