The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-02-02

We give to-day a good deal Of room to
the discussion Of questions connected WIN
the next pres. dental election and with the
proper coy SC for the Conservative parry o.
virginia 70 pursue under the circumstances
now existing In this State. We have not
confined our readers to the views OF one se'
OF men, but given those OF several OF thepi.
OF course, there are diverse opinions ex'
messed and inconsistent RECOMMENDATIONS
made. But a. all come from men who wish
the State to cast her votefor the Democrat'c
candidate tor President we give The wb ole
batch. The first thing TO do when the hu'
man body Is diseased Is to make c orrect
diagnosis. Then proper remedy may De
found. So with the Conservative party
Ictus have correct diagnosis OF IT. present
den,orabIe condition. Then let a remedy
be found.
II seems, however, that the le ader OF the
ReSajusters has no idea OF retm ming to his
allegiance TO the Conservative 'ar,y, nor OF
al,yipg hinsef with the Rcpr lblican party
or the Democratic party. He' wishes tn hold
Virginia In the hollow Of his land next No
yember, and have the privip eye Of turning
over her eleven electoral w ties TO whomso-
ever he may think proper te give them. In
an interview with the 3 edmond CORE
spondent OF the New YoYI Herald General
MALONE is reported to b ave sud what fol-
lows:
~General Malone rep lied that he would
have the same obieaio a to Blaine on tue
one hand as he would b ave to the most eX-
IRENE Bourbon Bemog at on the other. lie
farther remarked that the Readtusters or
Liberals Of Virginia neither meant 10 DC
forced out OF their p ostion by the Demo
cratic or Republican, machines In the State.
Tbey would defeat J 10Th OF them again, as
they did in Novem Der last. In regard to
the future nationalf course Of the new party
the most that Geo era Malone would say
was that he fayore d the call Of q Liberal or
gReSdjusters' Stst . Convention, OF placing
independent tltt tors in the field, and OF
-electing him asst ley did their ticket last No
'yember, and afg ,rwards OF casting the cleo
1oral vote OF VII ginia as seemed best for her
interest, regao dIess of party. Such plan
as this. II sue0 ssiul. might make Virginia
the atbiter OF the next presidency"
CameroniZf and Chandlerize Virginia
We think nlA IRE can be ne doubt that the
reporter gi1 es the substance OF what Gen
eral MAHos said to him; for his organ came
out Satnfa ay with the same scheme. Isn't
it a fine ?, programme How do the people
OF Vir gn,ia like the new character in which
they are to appear next November?-as
sheep in the SHAMELESS to be sold 10
the I irst or the highest bidder? We are
amaz ed to find that General MALONE has so
far !, ,st bis head as to propose deliberately
such plan as this for disposing Of the vote
of / is mother State.
y Te are not sorry TO see this scheme be-
fore the public, except that we would pre-
fer % see the Conservative party thoroughly
reifI Iited in the presidential election. III
there is to be any scheme for dividing the
PEG pie of Virginia, We prefer this to be
ado pied by the Readiusters rather than any
9th er we have heard OF or can conceive
for it will not draw OF from the Democratic
pa rty votes enough TO endanger the success
OF our ticket.
Let General MALONE persist in this
-sche me, II he believes that he can rule Vir-
ginia., But he Will not. lie will, we pre-
dict, ,bandon 1t within thirty days.
