PxrERsBrRo, VA. June 1l.--"The
most glorious thing about the renominA-
ton OF President Harrison" said q we'll
known Republican to-day, "is that Gen.
eral Malone has been put : in the soup
and Langston on top OF him.. Inc
general opinion here is that General MA
hone, who 30 vigorously opposed harri-
son that he was willing to take up any
man TO beat him, is as State chair
man and as national committeeman
pjaced in a very delicate and unpleasant
nos;t;on With Harrison as the candidate
81 the party. Being man OF minnie
resources and OF accommodating nature
in politics he may, however, prove equal
TO the emergency. But II reports DE
trne the General is on record as de-
clarinp AT Roanoke, while bis State con-
vention was in session, that Harrison
could not carry Virginia.
HE SMILES BEST WHO SMILES LAST.
While the friends Of General Malone
here were but the other day wildly re-
;o,cinc over his defeating Colonel Brady
for the position OF national committee
man the tables seemed TO have turned,
and Colonel Brady's friends are now
smiling ali over because OF what they
consider Mahone's disastrous defeat III
the nomination of Harrison and his con-
seouens loss, if the latter should DC
elected, OF any and all patronage IN TINS
State.
u,s THERE A POOL AGAINST HARRISON
But il is said, on the other hand, that
not very long ago the Republican anti
Harrison leaders who fought the Presl-
dent SO bitterly at Minneapolis-Quay,
Clarkson. Plat, Miller, Malone, and
others-pooled their influence at meet
ing held in Washington, and that II any
concessions are to be made they musl
come from the Presii lent. and the entire
"poolinp party" will reap the beneht OF
the same The latter can afford to pe
INDEPENDENT while the President In O
close contest cannot afford to lose the
friendship and influence of these men.
So the patronage may yet be divided, or
nt least so promised, equally as between
the political friends and foes IN the he
publican family.
ONE MAN SERENE.
There is one eminently respectable
Republican in the city. an otfice-hoider
under the administration, who was not
in the least swayed by excitement during
tbe session of the Minneapolis conven-
ton. He was thoroughly independent,
and any good Republican would have
suited him. While his office might be
dependent on the result his pay was not,
for il is oil honor and no pay that at
taches TO the office. Such was the posi-
tion of the Collector Of Customs Of this
port. The Office has scarcely paid
enough in the past year to purchase q
good dinner.

was sent to the President immediately
on receipt Of the news of his nomina-
tion-ali by anti-Mahone Republicans
Asa general thing the latter were too
downcast to think Of congratulations.
HHAT THE OEhOChAio Dali
The Democrats are by no means dis
posed to look lightly upon the nomina-
ton OF President Harrison. They feel
that they have hard fight before them.
They know that the President Is no
friend OF the South, and that if 1t were
in his power to do so lie would impose
the infamous force bill upon us and
shower ills upon us that would give us a
retaste Of the horrors OF reconstruction
days. They will fight ell the harder and
render it impossible, in the words OF
General Malone, for him "to carry
Virginia" Such is the sentiment OF many
Democrats whom your correspondent
talked with to-day.
REMARKABLE FREAK OF LIGHTNING.

slowly burning ever since.
