The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-10-12

"Jube Early Is for Danieli Surely that
Is sufficient reason why everybody else
should bc against Daniel.v
General Early read the quotation calmly,
aud quite az calmly said "This Is sniff
cient reason for Malone TO be against
Daniel. / know him to be miserable
coward and q base liar" [Great cheers,
repeated and prolonged.]
General Early said "Mahone Is not for
anybody that am for" and that he could
well understand how he (alahone) "didn't
want TO fight the enemy al spotsylyania
Courthouse when i wanted him." He
then went on to speak OF Major Daniels
service upon his staff, OF his gallant and
chiyalric conduct upon the field, and how
worthy he was 10 be Governor. But, said
the General, "BilIy Malone don't want
any such man TO he Governor" or him
self General ESrly] il had been said that he
was not well reconstructed. Nevertheless,
he would declare al have no objection to
any man on account Of race, color, or pre-
uious condition of servitude, [great ap-
plause,l but / do object to any man who
wears the collar OF Mahone." He objected
to present seryitude. He went on to refer
to comment Of the editor OF the Charlottes-
vile Chronicle upon the above paragraph
OF the Whig, and the answer Of the Wing
thereto, saying, "Both Daniel and Early
care not only for the Yankees, but for the
"Yankee brokers against Virginia" "Real-
ly, that's curious" said he. al have been
charged with being an unreconstructed
rebel, and now / am charged with being
for the Yankee brokers'"
But he proceeded briefly to show that 1t
is Malone, not he, who is for the " Yankee
brokers" -; or II Malone is not, how comes
it that "he has been begging money from
Yankee Loyal League" "1s itposslble for
the people OF Virginia TO submit to the
dictation Of such man? Is there such
dire calamity in store for us that Malone
and his crew are TO be foisted upon us for
four years iv The General could not be-
lieye that there was.
On account OF hoarseness he excused
himself from further speaking, and re-
sumed his seat, Willie vigorous applause
was given him.
HON. JOHN GOODE.
Hon. John Goode, OF Norfolk, was the
next speaker introduced. His appearance
was greeted by storm OF applause.
Mr.. Goode returned thanks for the kind
aud cordial greeting. In coming before
Richmond audience lie did not feel like
stranger in strange land. He did not
exaggerate, but spoke the words OF truth
and soberness when he said that the people
have never been called upon TO take part IN
more important contest than that in
which we arc now engaged. We have to
elect Legislature, whose duty 1t will be to
select State officers, United States senator,
and. above all, members OF the Court OF
Appeals. II Is contest for the main-
tenance Of public faith and credit and the
preservation Of Anglo-SaXon supremacy In
this State against Malone Republicanism.
He declared that the Democratic-Cons
tive party would settle the public debt on q
fair basis and without increase OF taxation.
The RiddIeberger bill is delusion and
snare. 1t is an utter failure As basis OF
settlement. General Early had asked whe-
ther Virginia shall occupy her accustomed
place at the head Of the Democratic column
or be tackled OH to the ear OF Radicalism.
Bossism has never fourished here.
Logan might boss Illinois, Cameron Penn
sylyania, and Grant the whole Republican
party: but the people OF Virginia would
never submit to the One-man power. LORD
Roscoe had sent his loving telegram to Ma
hone, saying his heart, his whole heart,
was with him. How loving! "Comc rest
/ in this bosom, my Owu stricken dear" The
late Readjuster Convention had passed re-
solutions endorsing the course OF Malone
in the United States Senate. Do you!
/ [Cries Of "NOip1
In discussing General Mahone's position
Mr.. Goode said
That an open coalition was formed be-
tween Senator Malone and the Republican
party i'm the Senate there can be no doubt.
/ Everybody admits that. II the coalition
was based upon mutuality Of opinion and
an agreement in principle | have nothing
Z TO say against it except this: III senator
Malone really and honestly became Re
publican after he went 10 Washington, II
was clearly his duty to resign his seat in the
Senate and ask the people OF virginia 10
approve his change OF heart and endorse
him as a Republican. With this proviso he
had perfect right to become Republican
il he thought iii to do so, but he had no
right TO become Republican and retain q
place which the representatives OF the peo-
nle had bestowed upon him as Democrat.
/ repeat. with this limitation, that II the &C.
alition between Senator Malone and the
Republicans was based upon mutual
ity of opinion and an agreement in
principle, it was all right; but IL
il was not based upon mutuality
OF opinion and an agreement in principle,
II IL was entered into solely with reference
TO the spois Of Office and the acquisition OF
honor, then II was a coalition against pub
/ lie morality, and deserves the reprobation
not only Of the people OF Virginia, but OF
fair-minded men everywhere throughout
the world.
The friends OF General Malone insist
that his coalition with the Republicans does
not necessarily make him Republican. 1t
san old saving, but no less trite than true,
that man is best known by the company he
keeps. We are told in Holy Writ that a
tree is known by its fruits. Yea, verify by
their fruits We shall know them. Ii Gen
eral Malone Is not a Republican, why was
he petted and lionized by the Republican
leaders in the Senateg Why was he singled
out by them as the recipient OF 80 many dis
tinguished honorsl Why did they make
I him chairman Of one important committee
and assign him to a leading position on
three other important committeesi Why
did they permit him to designate the Re
pubIican candidates for two of the most
I important offices In the gift OF the Senate Z
Why did he vote every time with the Re-
publicans on the organization Of the Sem
ate? Why did he vote for the Republi-
lcan Morrill,, Of Vermont, against the
pure and gifted Bayard, of Delaware,
as chairman OF the Committee on FL
nanceg Why did he vote for that bitter
and malignant enemy OF Virginia and her
people, Roscoe Conkling, OF New York,
against our tried and trusted neighbor and
[ f,-;on1 Ganarol Matt RansOln OF North
Carolina, rs chairman OF the Committee on
Commerce. Why did he vote in executive
session to confirm the appointment OF Will
