WASHINGTON. -. G.. June 27.-tSpe-
ciall--From remarks that have been
dropped here within the past few weeks
by visiting Republicans from Virginia,
the rank and file Of the party would like
10 depose General Malone from the chair
manship Of the State Committee, but just
yet there is no way TO accomplish II,
nor can they get up an excuse TO make
the opportunity for hopping on his neck.

holds the whip handle. There is really
no necessity this year for calling the COM
mittce together. and those who know
him best do not think that he Is foolish
enough 10 give the other fellows q chance
10 interfere with the plans. II there
were going TO be state convention
within the next two months it would be
q different thing. Then the ANTS would
be in a fine position TO head him off.
With only members Of the Legislature

DOWN OK HIN.
One Virginia Republican says that Gene

he has run things long enough. They
think that he ought to have stepped down
and out in 1889. just after his sorry run
against Hon. J.. W. Mckinney for Gov
ernor. II was then plainly demonstrated
that his influence was gone, and hat The
Bradys. the Groners. the Lewises, the
Nosts. the Eegb0rns. and other white Re-

for him like Infatuated wild cats.
But General Malone is evidently paying
no attention TO the rumors dying around.

Democrats of the two States have no
general conventions this year. which
might provoke lively contentious over the
currency question. The high times the
