THE MALONE MEETING.
General Mahone's meeting here yester.
day. n report Of which was teieg1phed
TO the Dispatch last night, was the SUP
,ect to-day OF considerable discussion In
noIitical circles. II is freely admitted
that General Malone still manages to
hold his grin on all that is left Of the
Republican party in Virginia, and there
is no likelihood he will permit any one to
question his authority. He ia playing
his came old game. and If he can nave
his way there will be no nominations iof
Congress lie wants the Populists u try
their hands, and is opposed to spenuins
any money to help Republican candidates
II any OF the latter insist on running they
will have 10 foot the bills themselves.
General Malone Is very bitter In his
remarks concerning the Democrats. lie
denounces the Walton law as n cheating
scheme, and says that the worst men
who can be found have been placed on
the county boards. They appoint the
Judges, the clerks. and the constables' rs
well as the registrars. and the General
declares It IS useless To play against
LOADED dice" He insists that the Demo
Gratis have arranged things so that they
can cheat. and he looks for the sending OF
ten Democrats to the next House OF
Representatives In view OF what he con
siiers an uphill fight II would be useless
for the Republicans to make nomina'
tons.
