WASHINGTON. u. C.. March 2o.-(spe-
clal)-General William Malone, whom
some OF the outside papers have located
for the past week In Virginia helping 70
form a powerful combination between tne
Republicans and Populists, has been rest
ing quietly in this city. apparently not
taking very much interest In politics.
II there have been any consultations
with him the Virginia Populsts must
have made secret pilgrimages to Wash
ington and laid the plans before Generh
Malone.
The former boss OF the Republican
party in Virginia must have had won
derful change OF heart within n year
he thinks the forces opposed TO the
Democracy have any show to win an cleo
ton i'm the State for It will be remem-
bered that less than one year ago ne
asserted most positively that the ke-
publcans had no earthly show or carry
ing an election under the Walton law.
Then the General had speclai point
TO work. and 1t WAS a scheme OF his own
not TO have the Republicans make the
effort
Just what General Malone VIII do TINS
wear cannot be told. but the prevailing
oplnion Is he will be up 10 some trek
| along with the Populists. though II rs
| thought by most people here who have
| conversed with him lately that he VIII
| compel the whole outfit 20 do what ne
! orders. or there will be trouble ahead
| for the combination.
| General Malone Is not feeling In the
! best OF humor on account OF his dlsmal
/ failure to dispose OF his property TO the
! government and the fact that the pres
! ent printing office will be repaired under
| the provisions Of a clause in one OF the
arpropriation bills recently passed rem
ders Il tolerably certain that the next
Congress will hardly DO anything toward
buying the Malone square.
