The classifying Republican organ in WASH
irgton city is In sympathy with the MALONE
faction in Virginia, and reioices over every
evidence which it can see that the true
Democratic party of Virginia is disrupted.
We ask its attention to the communication
in the leading organ OF the MALONE party,
in ITS issue OF Monday, proposing, ii we
understand it Alright, to flood the country
with five hundred millions of greenbacks
which are never to be redeemed at all, we
infer, as the proposition includes the pay
Ing out Of all the coin In the Federal Trea-
sury. In fact, this leading organ OF Gene
raj MAHOSE's party was two years ago the
leading organ of the fat-money men. 1t
advocated the issuing OF we know not how
many millions Of greenbacks. One OF its
articles called for such quantity OF green
backs as wonld cover the whole surface OF
the earth. Are these the men whose party
the Republican desires to carry Virginia in
the next or any other election? And does
that journal see nothing like reputation in
the proposition to food the country with
irredeemable greenbacks.

Renudfntio,,.

TO hone TO impose any restraint upon the
ta,sifying propensity OF the Washington
Republican would be Ia vain. That Jour.
nal is 50 blinded by prciudics, malignity,
and ignorance, that II never allows an or
norluuity TO libel the southern people to
escape II. In Its Issue OF Saturday IL says
| wTbe Redmond Dispatch admits that u
th,, question was put directly 10 the people

| In also ssserts that the national debt would

The above paragraph was no doubt wrif.
ten 10 create the impression In The minus OF
the northern people that the Dispatch is an
advocate OF Reputation. IL misrepresents
what we said. We merely said. what every
body must know to be true, that II the ave-
rage voter "was taught, and made TO De-
|Seye, that he had the same right to vote LOT
population as for honest payment" ne
would OF course avail himself OF so good
an opportunity Of voting taxation on sis
shoulders; that he would thus vote on ety.
county, State, or Federal taxes; and that
he would thus repudate any debt.
Our proposition was so carefully stated
that nothing but wiliul misrepresentation
could have perverted II into the shape In
which appears In the Washington Repubti-
can. We did not content ourselves even with
saying that II the voter was "taught" that
he bad the same right to vote for repudia-
ton as 10 vote for honest payment, he would
do the latter, but said, IL he was taught,
and made to believe" that he might honest
ly and conscicntiously vote either way, he
would every time vote against tax alton. we
have more than once stated this as an in
superable objection to submitting to The
voters any question involving the payment
or nom payment of honest debts. And yet
the very words which we used In thus
taking the highest ground against all Sorts
OF reputation are made by the Washington
Republican to mean that we and the Vlr-
ginia people generally are repudiationists.
