The Inside History of the Last Days Of thu
virginia Campaign, as Given by q
Republican.

Hon. Joseph Jorgens0n, the only Repub-
lican delegate in Congress from Virginia,
spoke in Petersburg, Saturday night, to a
crowd of Republicans, and gave some in
teresting statements about Gen. Mahone's
supreme effort" in his desperation. The
''Index-Appeal'' reports the speech as fol
lows: f-i5 &.-uUH ia
''Mr. Jorgenson began his remarks by
saying that he came to tell his hearers that
he was Republican, and an advocate of
Republican principles, and as your repre-
sentative, to say that you shall not be be-
trayed. The speaker said that during the
past two or three days he had been away
from the head centre of information, and
on his arrival in Richmond, he was sur
prised and Indignant to learn that ru-
NOR was current that the Republican cleo
toral ticket in Virginia had been with
drawn. The Republicans in the adjacent
counties are filled with alarm, and came
to let you know that the Republicans will
never let the electoral ticket be withdrawn,
(cries of nO.) Mr.. JOrgenSOn then explain
ed how the rumor had been started.
Messrs. Loveland, of Indiana, Frank
Burr, correspondent of the Philadelphia
'sIimes," protesting to be agents of the
National Republican Committee, and
claiming to have letter OF authority from
Governor Jewell, to negotiate for the
abandonment of the Republican electoral
ticket in Virginia have been in Richmond
for three days. They have occupied COM
municating apartments to those of Gener-
al Malone, in the Capitol Hotel. Hun
dreds of Republicans were summoned from
all sections Of the State and sent back
with the Readjuster Democratic Hancock
rioEoec for distribution QmnnO RAnuh1i-
cans, giving them to understand, by i'm
plication or otherwise, that it was done
with the approval of Gov. Jewell and Sec
rotary Dorsey. The Republicans will lose
thousands of voters on account Of it..
The session of the State Central Com
mittee in Richmond was stormy. Burr,
who was present, was denounced by men,
beers of the committee as being a scoun-
drel. The meeting in Petersburg was call
ed to make authoritative denial of the inn
preston made by these agents. 1t is I'M
derstoed and believed that Mr.. George
German, late of the United States Senate,
and the Camerons of Pennsylvania, are at
the bottom of the whole acknowledging
thereby to secure the friendship of Malone
in the Senate.
The Republican State Committee met
in Richmond to-day and sent kilograms all
over the country that the Republican elec-
toral ticket in Virginia had not been with
drawn. General Garfield telegraphed to
the Conference yesterday that no authority
had been given for the withdrawal of the
Republican electoral ticket. and that he
wanted all true Republicans to vote for
him.
: Never will the Republicans Of Virginia
desert their standard, and I tell you the
Republicans of Virginia are going to stand
by their guns, tcries Of yes y The Read
juster ticket is not the one for you to vote.
See that you vote the Republican ticket.
Don't vote any other than the Garfield
ticket, even if my name IS on it: Mr..
Jorgenson closed by saying that if every
man did his duty Garfield would most as
suredly be elected"
