We now will only advise the delegates to
the Convention that il. when they reach
Richmond, they find any one OF the candi-
dates-or the influential and leading parti-
sans OF any one Of them-in favor OF or in
any manner leaning toward the reputation
of the State debt, to repudiate him instantly
and forever. The highest estimate OF the
States debt places it at one-tenth OF her
available property. Surely she can pay
that. Let New Hampshire and Minnesota;
let the whole North, il they choose, repudi-
ate their Just debts, but never let it be said
that Virginia rcpudiated hers, especially
when she could pay it and still retain nine
tentbs.>,f her property. We are sure honor
will Influence the delegates, but not honor.

State debt has to be paid by the taxpayers,

Malone Ought Rot to be Nominated.

You ask, Why2 Because the low means
of electioneering used by his friends ought
to be appropriately rebuked. Whiskey and
money have flowed freely, and no doubt the
offices that would be at bis disposal have
been already bartered away.
He is weak where he is strong. Look at
bis so-called "solid delegations Their
appointment in almost every instance has
unmasked scores OF voters, VoWing that in
no event will they support Malone. Has
this result followed either Of the other can
didates? No, sir; thousand times, No !
This prejudice is unfounded. 1t is? Well,
granted but still it exists, and ought to be
respected There is a prejudice between
the dog and the OK, and he is the foolish
farmer that shall endeavor to force them to
a community of interests. The black snake
is not poisonous, and yet there is preJu-
dice between him and man that six thou
sand years has not weakened. Let the Con-
vention stick pin here.
You said something about a dog just now;
I thank thee, jew, for that word. General
Malone has been usjustly assaied, ana
would defend cur under the same circunl-
stances. Soyou might, but you Wouiu hate
no right to quarter that cur, obnoxious "
me, upon my bed and board. An apostle
saws, Il will not eat meat, IL by so eatinS

nv brother to force an unsaYory morse'
down nv throat against my will, especially
when there is u plenty OF good, rich, dainty
food near OF hand? Stick another pin.

HUMoR ABOUT THE STRIKE.-Our readers
remember the "quiz' put up on the Dis
patch by telegram from Bristol, which an
nounced that strike had taken place upon
the Narrow-G Gauge railroad at that town,
and that there was "great excitement
There was no such road except on paper,
yet we acquiesced in the idea that penlten-
tiary convicts were there TO give it little
more point.
But another joke played of through the
Alexandria Gazette was even better. Du-
ring the riots telegram received by that
paper, and with points showing the joke,
was published with the riot news. as fol-
lows:
"The hands on the Washington and Ohio
railroad have struck, and Receiver Nc.
Kenzie has called on the President for the
Marine Band"
! This was good; but the Gazette increases
the humor Of the joke by stating that lady,
after reading the telegram, remarked: .
"Mr. Mckenzie was a wise as we'll as a
good man, for be knew that music Soothed
excited people, and he did not want to re-
sort to harsh means"
Certainly at a time OF such disorder and
destruction as attended the great strike it
was wonderful that Virginia produced no.
thing worse than good humor.

REV. John r. Massey for Governor.

In another column we copy from the
Charlottesville Chronicle a call by "cltlZenS
OF the Valley of Virginia and others upon
Mr.. Massey as the true representative man
OF the compulsory readiusters, so called,
TO become Mt once candidate for Coy
crnor. We recognize the appropriateness
OF this call. For two years, when Gene
raj Malone was as mute as mouse
when cats are about on this question,
in face OF what he believed the state Of pub
lie sentiment, and when it could not be
used az stepping-stOne to high ONCE, MI.
Massey was hard ut work cryStalllzlng ana
slrcn Sthening this party. He labored WIN
zeal and fidelity worthy OF better cause.
Now, 'when it is hoped that from Its
platform it is possible to vault into an
office OF emolument and dignity, 1t Is
fit that Mr.. Massey's followers, in
Guiding General Malone, should put
Mr.. Massey forward 10 avail himself
OF the fruits OF his own work. But not
withstanding this, he will have to stand
back for the little General Mr.. Massey,
with all his courage and tenacity OF pur-
pose. will hardly venture to respond favor
ably to the call OF these, his friends and fol-
lowers. No doubt the masses OF these re-
adjusters greatly prefer him, and would
follow him with 4 Zeal and ferYor far
greater than General Malone will ln-
spire. But new set OF leaders-Ma-
hone men par e1cel!ence-hare now as
sumed the lead Of the party, and, with noise
and clatter and shouts for Malone, the call
for Massey is not heard. He will have
| to take and maintain subordinate
position. The little General, receiving
new light from Mr.. Massey, and
new inspiration from the thought OF be-
ing Governor OF Virginia, as commander
in-chief has taken command OF the forces
which DIR. Massey has enlisted and drilled,
| and Massey will have to take some compare
lively small position where he may con-
| tinue to fight with his characteristic per-
sistence, and bear the heat and dust and
dangers OF the battle, while the little Cen
| eral and his chosen ones will occupy the
high and fat places, if any such are to
| be had. In word, to use recently
invented slang, Massey and his friends "of
the Valley OF Virginia and others y will be
"bMldozed" and retired from the chief
command to let the little General use their
ammunition, and for us to make conquest OF
the Office of Governor Of Virginia, and
then-yes, and then-ir he succeed, Gene
| rad Malone will do what he may then think
best for himself and his country Char

THE LOGIC OF REPUDIAToRs.-The mod
ern logic that the honest debtor is upon the
same footing with g the vlest criminal, y
(which is. the argument of the repudiators)
Is rather far-fetched. The law allows and
urovides the means by which a condemned
criminal may have new trial; but neither
law, equity, nor honesty allows debtor
who has given his bond for a certain sum
OF Indebtedness to demand from the credi-
tor that he shall take less than the amount
which the debtor certties he owes, espe-
cially when the creditor has already mnde
an abatement OF his claim in consonance
with the wishes OF the debtor. An individ-
uni may ask for redress without forfeiture
of either honesty or self-respect, but, when
he attempts to ''club" his creditor into an
adjustment it looks very much US il he had
more reliance upon Judge Lynch's mode OF
adjustment than upon either; moral suasion
or legal enactments. Nortotk Ledger.

Our clamor" for rcadjuStmcnt SIMPLY

or not. In other words, We mean practicai

and declare for more taxes ut once gre
tersburg Post.
We understand the Post to be for COM
pulsorv reimbursement and to pledge Generll
MALONE to the same. Let that be the
issue.
"a few Of the creditors could not
nurt the State by refusing TO agree to re-
adjustment. The candidates have answered
for themselves that they are opposed to in
creasing the taxes.
But the Post is not for reputation under
any circumstances Then it must be Tor
