GENERAL MAHoNE's LIFE.
"The life Of Malone was the more
tempesiuous. and flowed In current
rarely free from mud and turbulence and
roar. His ascents and deecents were con-
stantiy wrapped in the clouds and snow
OF hate. rivalry, and contention. All the
while he seemed unconQuerably bent on
trying to conquer and subjugate some
thing or somebody. With the close Of the
Confederate war at Appomattox- he be-
gan war OF his own against every
thing standing In the way OF his ambi-
tion, and lasting throughout a period OF
thirty years His present mission here
was doubtless intended to be one Of presl-
dental election planning for personal
and poliaical power.
Notwithstanding the popular impress
sion that from his death or serious disa-
bility must come changes OF great i'm
portance to his party in the State, 1t Is
doubtful If such shall In fact be the
case.
"As to his presidential programme. he
was known TO be so gTappled to Pennsyl-
vania's two senators that his political
comngs and goings could be costly told
by keeping a steady eye on the battle
flag Of Quay and Cameron. He would
have walked bllndfold behind them into
their chosen presidential camp. rather

GENERAL WALKER.

cecd him in the direction Of party af
fairs. IT seems safe to predict that in
this matter he will follow his predeces
sor
Congressman Walker will soon learn
10 admire Speaker Reed, however. and
so will all the Virginia contestants for
seat ts in the House. along with their at
torney. the well-known Colonel Brady.
Besides this, II is Pennsylvania money
that has gone into the iron and other
mineral developments in Southwest Nir-
gnia. and in a number Of these enter
prises General Walker is understood TO
be himself an interested party.
General Walker may have n struggle
for Mahone's place with Waddill. Brady.
Allen. or Craig. in which event factonal
troubles may continue as heretofore to
disturb the party. 1t is not likely that
the condition Of Republicanism in Vir-
ginia can be improved. whatever may
happen"
