s,sn- psxsII q stcr. bah who would he pie6ged
"a support the Malone electoral uc&e'."
II thus appears thst Colonel CssERoS
and MS. MAssEs, and we presume al 'ne
~ a the leaders OF the AAHoSs party
would rather vote to send Republican to
<,oavwss than Debt Paying Democrat
Whc0 we consider what the avowal OF MAS
arr and the declaration Of CxsxRoS mean,
we EN- understand how desperate they and
the other aeaders Of their 'pxty have De-
come.
Co,ouel CaMERox seemed to entertain The
taea thst Ire had made u 'ssl right Tor his
marty IN the eyes OF the people " Virgins
when he added to bis statement that ne
nub,,cyr YVES TO be the 1eadjuster nomiaet
for Congress the declaretion that such nom'
iuee weold be pledged 10 support the MA
HONE electoral ticket. We do not conceoe
that this declarations removes any OF tst
objections TO Mr. HoorsR's nominat'oo'
1T eeems to be understood that ne Is
20 be the man) Gle will have nososus
TO do with the State debt when he
ecrs 10 washington, II be ever gets
there and 10 nominate him as HAN
COCK man at home but Republican In Con.
gress Is 10 give ashundred or a thousand
votes in The House VI Representatives,
where one vote counts for 1920 part OF
the entire voting strength OF the Union, for
q single vote at home that will count as but
one out Of many millions. So inexcusable
aud Improbable a bargain was never be-
fore made. One vote in Congress would
be too high price to pay for HooPER's
vote 10 Fapnryillc.
To send Republican to Congress from
Virginia Is to send a man who will misre-
present the people OF this State on almost
every question that shall come up for action
,on his part. HOOPER is Of course In favor
OF compelling the judges OF Virginia TO
put negroes on iuries. He Is OF course in
favor Of 80 amending the State Constitution
as to allow every negro otherwise qualified
60 vote whether he pays any tax or not.
He Is In dwor Of course OF dividing out the
Offices between the whites and the negroes.
He is OF course in favor Of the civil-rights
bill, and OF the appointment OF Federal
deputy-marsbals to oversee our elections.
He Will fraternize whilst in Washington with
deadly enemies OF Virginia. He will act
with CeNKLING, LOGAN, and CAMERON; and
viii on every sectional question vote with
the enemies OF the South, and on every party
question with the enemies OF the Demo
cratic party. We predicate all these things
OF Mr.. H0oPER's action 10 Congress. But 1t
would not be otherwise with any real Re-
publican who might be nominated In the
Farmville or any other district. All such
men will naturally act with their own party
when they get TO Washington. Elected to
Congress not because OF their party sympa-
thies, or affiliations, or creed, but because
they agree with General MALONE as to how
much OF the State debt ought to be repu.
dated, they Will be free to act as they
choose on every question that may come be-
fore them in Washington. They will not
be guilty OF acting In bad faith, because
they will have been chosen to Congress IN
spite OF their ayowed position In national
politics, and on an issue which cannot be
presented to them In that body.
IL the voters OF Virginia need anything
more to convince them that it is their duty
to support the regular Democratic electors.
they must be in deplorable condition OF
mind. Colonel CAMERoN and Mr.. MASSEY
are two OF the most prominent OF the Ma
HONE leaders. The one Is candidate for
elec,or at large on the Independent ticket,
and the other Is the foremost man in the
MALONE party next after General MALONE
himself. When ouch men become so de-
voted TO local faction that they can get
their consent TO desert their Virginia friends
and party associates, and support Republic
can candidates forCopgress,i is time for all
true Virginians not thus misled by either
passion, or prejudice, or ambition, or
Jealousy, TO rally to The support Of the only
real Democratic party In the Stata--the only
party that will not for moment entertain
the proposition to elect to Congress an
enemy Of the people OF Virginia.
There IL no installing the determination
OF General MAHoYE to keep his colored
troops well in hand. His advocacy OF an
amendment to the Constitution which will
allow sll negroes otherwise qualified to vote
without paying any tax; his willingness to
support in his own district Republican
candidate for Congress; and his conduct
hast winter towards the negroes OF The Gen.
eral Assembly--alI show that be has made
up his mind 10 rule Virginia by the aid OF
the negro goies--by an alliance between the
negroes .ani his faction. Next November
the people will have an opportunity to ex-
press their opinion Ia regard to that alb
aDce.
