The Mongrel Ticket.

.,,se will seek to place themselves In posi-

have Suspicion Of doubt thrown upon IL.
which set OF applicants will be cons'de'ed
entitled 10 the fat Offices in virginia,
che eel composed OF those who shall
support Simon.Pue Republican ticket,
or fhe set composed OF those who shall
follow after General MALONE and his
mopgre, tickets Will the next fresldept'
sueposing that he shall be Republican,
tarnisb the record Of the Republican party
~ q Debt.Payine party opposed to repud'a-
ten in every shape and form by appointing
70 Office men who will have advocated upon
the stamp and In the newspapers the re-
pudia,ion OF fourteen millions OF dollars oil
the deb. OF Virginia? Will he consent TO
come down from the high position when
his party has always maintained upon the
subject of the sacredness OF public obliga-
tious, and agree that 1t would be no sacrI-
fee OF plinciple to appoint partial repu'
diator 10 an important Federal Office! VIII
he be party to bargain between General
MALONE and the Virginia Republicans for
the formation Of an electoral ticket CON-
posed OF five Republicans and six Read
justers? Let every man answer these ques-
lions according 10 the probabilities OF the
case, and we don't think he will give the
coalition much ground TO hope for the sue
cess Of their abominabie scheme.
Again: There il a warm and exciting
contest going on inside the Republican
party for the nomination OF the Chicago
Convention. Isn't IT most uni easonabe to
suppose that the twenty-five delegates from
Virginia arc 10 be missing from that Con-
yeptlon? Can General GRANT afford TO
throw away twenty-five votes in a contest
so close? Can Mr.. BLAlNEf Can Mr..
SHERMAN? Can Mr.. WAsBBURNEl Ger
tainly not. Mr.. CoSKLING a. the rigbtband
man Of General GRANT, and Mr.. BLAINE
for himself, have already expressed their
opposition to the plan proposed BY certain
Republican allies Of General MALONE foI
forming an electoral ticket composed partly
OF RI adiusters aud partly OF Republicans
Could ,hey more plainly declare their pur
pose OF running the Republican party as
Republican party and not as mongre
plrtys
II Is said that the impression has beer
made upon the minds OF the Republican,
who are advocating the mixed electora
ticket that General MALONE will control thu
Federal patronage in Virginia in ease Gene
raj GRANT l. elected President. But this
too, Is an incredible story. No man in Vir
gina could get an Office from General GRAM
against the opposition Of Mr. CoEKIING, ant
Mr.. C0NKLING has already declared what b.
thinks Of u mongrel ticket. No man in Vir
GINA could get an Office from Mr.. BLAISl
against Mr.. BLAIsE's own opposition; ant
Mr.. BLAINE, too, has declared what b
thinks Of a mixed electoral ticket.
We concluoe, therefore, that ii there ar
no more than ten thousand Republicans il
Virginia who are opposed to reformation @
a mixed ticket, they will send delegates +
Chicago; take cart In nomioating Geners
GRANT or somebody else; form an electors
ticket having upon 1t none but Republicans
advocate the election OF their ticket unit
next November; and IL Republican
elected President, will demand and recelv
all the offices in Virginia Us the reward Q
their fidelity TO the Republican party.
