SEPTEMBER 16, 1880.
Quite a large number OF Republicans as
sembled here on Yesterday in obedience TO
call for a meeting OF the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, spd also to hear the
Republican candidate for Congress ana
other Republicans, as per announcement.
number OF RexdIusters were on hand from
various narts of the district, hoping that
something would occur whereby their nomi.
nee would be benefited. They soon found
there were no crumbs OF comfort Tor them,
and In disgust retired to their respective
homes. The hope Of the ReadIusters has
been that woltz would he forced from the
canvass and the Republicans transferred 10
their support. BY resolutions passed with
out a single dissenting voice the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Wolff was confirmed. ana the
Republican party may be counted on as
solid for their candidate.
| Mr.. Wolff was present, ana assured MS
friends he never had the slightest idea OF
retiring from the contest; and II be nad
changed bis mind on yesterday, the general
expression OF the speakers was that Garrl-
son would be preferred 10 Critcher.
| Speeches were delivered by Mr.. Wolff,
DIR. w. w. Douglas, J. J. Mcdonald. X. ID.
Beckley, Peter j. Carter, and Others, and all
OF them were attentiveIy listened to by a
number OF their opponents who were pre-
sent. Mr.. WoItz thanked Judge Garrison
for bis courteous invitation to meet him in
discussion, and stated be was informed that
Critcher objected 10 meeting him. There
are good reasons for bis Directing, as Woltz
has Critcber's record at his fingers ends.
The Readiusters were greatly discouraged
with the proceedings OF yesterday, and YOUR
hear OF Critcher's Withdrawal.
Rumors to the effect that Mr.. Wolff will
| withdraw from the canvass are without
Foundation, and he requests me so to state.

The Faithful Alnes.

Tire Democratic papers 81 the North will
understand the situation IN Virginia better
than they now seem to de II they Will STUDY
ovreondit,on awhile. The negroes In this
State are Republicans. ff we were to adj
nit that there are thousand negroes 10
Virginia who are Democrats, we would ad'
NIT too much. Out Of t12 900 negro ye,ers,
lIgiere are certainly ne more than one thou-
ksand who are Democrats. Therefore. the
=. allies" OF Genera MAHoSE's party are
Republicans, aud therefore he refused to 90
Into primary eiectdoh because the regular
Democrats would not agree that Republic
cans should vote In HANCOCK primary
election. Tests all there is OF it. II was
proposition Gu one side to allow qualifled
Democratic voters 10 decide tAe question,
and on The other to allow il to be decided
by III 900 Republican negroes, or as many
OF them as are "faithful allies" OF the Ma.
HONE party, whether they are qualified
voters or not, and without any pledge that
they would vote for HANCOCK 10 November.
The MALONE proposition reads as follows:
EVERY registered voter In the State OF
Virginia who will by participating in this
primary election declare his purpose to sup
port Hancock and English shall be entitled
TO vote"
The conductors OF the primary election
would have had no right to ask any voter
a single question, nor to require any sort OF
pledge from him. All the voter had to do
was to vote. The fact that he voted was to
be accepted as q sufficient guarantee that
he was Democrat and would support the
Democratic nominee. We have heard OF
many primary elections, and in all parts OF
the Union, but never before OF one wherein
the voting was not confined to the members
OF the party holding such election.

awe cannot and will not yield TO any
demand that would place us in the position
Of abandoning faithful allies" Suchi is the
language OF The Malone State COMMITTEE
TO the amendments made by the COnserva
tive State Committee to the proposition OF

| body. The " faithful allies" referred to
are the negro Radicals OF the State, who

sion aud fraternity with the Rea0juster
chief and his faction in carrying out all
measures fer the Generalization and in.

| be noted that these "iaithful allies" for
whose recognition the Malone commit.
tee coniessds haNenever yet disavowed their
Radicallsm wherever they have had occa.
sion to maSe any public declaration on the
subject. on the contrary, as notably in the
Conventi0E that nominated Frazier in this
city, they have always protested their devo-
ton TO Garfield and their intention to sup
port him. Med so they remain to this time
aud will remtsifl, all opinions and pnetences
to the contrary Notwithstanding. TAey are
Radicals IN fsNs et jn cute. They are ~ faith

the faithess enemy Of Conservatism, OF
Democracy, and af tbe,real and known in
terests OF General Hancock. They Gao no
more be expected 10 vote for Hancock chan
10 change their skin, or than the leopard
can be expected 10 change 'ais spots.
The Nens is neither q prophet nor the soa
af prophet; but Just one week ago IL
dwelt on the fact that no compromise with
Algsone was possible, for the very reason
that he could not afford 10 desert his negro
folls@ing. They are his main strength and
night bowers. In u contest eOn6aed to the
Conservatives Of the State he would be
beaten, and he knows it. Thus We wrote
Heek ssnce, aud what was then prediction

How the Republicans Look at II.
EXTRACTS from an article In the new York Times
RInW Az TIE Sol LID SOrTH.

EXTRACTS from an article In the New York Times
BLOW AT THE SOLID SOUTH.
The central fact in the political situation
| in Virginia, and the one which gives it
| national importance, is that an organization
OF Democrats insists that vital party ques-
| ton in the State shall not be decided by the
| votes Of whites alone. There are two Demo-
cratic electoral tickets in nomination. One
| is that OF the faction, which is unques-
| tionably CIRCULAR" which sent delegates 10
| Cincinnati, which was recognized by the
Democratic National Convention, and which
has all the authority, prestige, and influence
which regularity has always conferred in the
Democratic party. This is the ticket Of the
so called "Funders." The other is that OF
the Readiusters." Ii is coDfessedly irreg-
ular. 1t is put in nomination by leaders
who have bOlted the Democratic nominal
lions, and who, openly and without any
preteXt OF party authority, have defeated
the regular organization 10y methods dis
tinctly contrary 10 general Democratic
usage, and utterly in violation OF all the
traditions OF southern Democracy in partic-
ular. The former ticket represents the sem
timents, the practices, and the aims which
have made the South "soid." 1t is the
"white mans " ticket.
The otter ticket represents exactly the
opposite OF all this. 1t is Il definite protest
and rebellion against the rule which has
made the South "solid." So far from being
"white mans" ticket, its supporters are
VIGOROUSLY, in large part, negroes. Il is at
any rate the first Democratic organization
that has come into action WITH a hearty,
complete, and practical recognition OF the
negro's right TO vote, Of the substantial va
lidlty of the constitutional amendments.
They have defed the white mans rule in
Virginia, and they are going to overthrow
it, according to present appearances, IL they
may not be said to have done so already. 1t
is between the Democrats who refuse the
negro the right TO vote and those who are
ready to recognize 1t and 10 profit by it.
Such an issue. once made, can only be set
tied i'm favor OF the latter class.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY. Messenger
explains satisfactorily that it has not made
conflicting statements as 10 how the negro
vote was cast in Montgomery county last
fall. The substance Of its explanation is as
follows:
owe believe we place the Conservative
Readi usting vote Of 1879 too high at 2G6.
But taking that figure, there were 800 white
and so colored Republicans in this county
who voted the Readluster ticket The total
vote OF that ticket for delegate was GG6-for
senator GA. The conclusion of the Dis
patch is therefore correct if, for colored
vote, 1t substitutes the phrase Republican
uote."
In a word, the so-called Rea1iuster vote
OF Montgomery last fail was Republican
vote, consisting as 1t did of about 400 Re-
pubicans and 26G professed Conservatives.

At a meeting OF Hancock Republicans In
Pittsburgh, Pa, Saturday night, a telegram

The proceedings OF the conference will
speak very distinctly for themselves. II
was manifest from the first letter Of Gen.
eral Malone to Mr.. Koiner conserving to
the conference that he and his faction did
not intend to consent to any compromise OIL
adjustment TO which it was possible for the
regular Democratic party to assent without
utter dishonor and ruin. A fair and hon.
orable compromise, such as the Shenandoah
plan, was Just one Of those things which
the Malone side did not want. Neither
were they willing to submit the matter to a
fair vote OF the Conservative party OF the
State at primary, because they know
very well that they would have been
beaten by 30, 900 majority OF the people, not
outstanding their boast that they have a
majority on their side OF the house. They
know this claim OF theirs is garingIy false,
and therefore they were not willing 10 bring
it TO a test before the honest Conservatives
OF the State, but they wanted TO let the 3d.
900 negro Republicans be admitted 10 vote
in the primary so as to vote down the white
race and give them the boosted majority !
Was ever such moDstrous insult as
this offered to the white people and
Conservative party OF the State? Ne
gro Republicans went into the dis
trict conventions which nominated Sto.
vail, Frazier, and Dezendorf for Con-
gress against CabeIl, Tucker, and Goode,
who do not hesitate to declare that they in
tend to vote for Garfield and Arthur. And
1t was just this class Of negroes and Repub-
licans all over the State that The Maboneites
wanted TO be admitted to the proposed pri-
anary to vote down the Democrats and white
sleople and dictate to us for whom we should
vote for President and Vice-President OF
the United States. Is 1t not revolving to
all the higher instincts and sentiments OF
human naturef
Oh course that plan was unanimously re-
|ecled by our committee, as 1t would be by
The Conservative people Of the State.-R.
