MahORe SusSatnad.
The position that Senator Malone
has taken in the Senate aud his acting
with the Republicans in the orgsnizs,
tion Of the committees, has strengthened
him in Virginia instead Of weakening
him as was predicted it wonld. At a
meeting Of the State Readj juster Exscu,
tive COMMITTEES held at Richmond al
Wednesday night, the attitude OF Mr.
Mahoue in the Senate occupied much
Of the attention of the committee and
his bout with the Bourbon Bsa Hill
was commented upon and fully approx
, ed. The Readjuster Iesdsrs, who wete
in attendance, were in the highest
spirits and expressed perfect confidence
in their ability to carry ths State in
the election for Governor and Leglsla-
ture next tall. These leaders say the
Rsadjuster party will net lose man
by Mr.. MshoAe's action. but by his
action ne Will have control Of such a
considerable share of Federal patrons.Gc
as TO bring over 10 his side large
number of Week-kneed Bourbon Demo
. erats Rho are tired OF proving around
amongst the smouldering embers and
lingering in the gravsyards OF au etfe:e
Democracy. They are beginning to see
that Mr.. Malone is something more
than Readjubter which is one Of the
smallest sins with which Virgins
Democrat can be charged. They are
waking up to the fact that aside from
whatever sin may hang around the
charge Of being ReadjuSter, that sin
is covered up and hid out Of sight by
the other State reforms which VIr1inls
needs and of which Senator Mahous is
the leader. Reports from Virginia say
that since the triumph of Mshons the
emigration Of negroes from ths State
has ceased, because they knew that
.iaere was some chance of being pro
tected in their rights, a0d so faS as the
Republican party is concerned the
friends of Senator Malone are 1ot the
least fearful that q Republican ticket |
will be run in opposition to the Read |
jnsters. They say the coiored people |
have learned full well that any attempt
to do so would only result in their fur
ther disfranChisemsnt.
They sare nothing about the State
debt 80 Nong as their liberties are en-
dangerei. They have leaned that
Senator Malone Is their friend and the
Door downtrOdden white people of tt 0
State also recognize in him friend
that would lift them out of the slough
of politics and place them upon high
or plane Of political action. Though
We do not look with favor upon any at
tempt to dishonor or discredit thej
financial obligations Of State or of the
nation, we are free TO cay that more
Mahones are needed in the Southern
States. They are needed badly in
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, where one {
fourth OF the vote Of colored and white t
has been suppressed BY r
violence. These states which have re.
pudiated their debts over and over, t
send the men to Congress who throw d
D tones at Senator Malone. Men that c
steal seats in Congress by suppressipg l
the Republican vote by violence and r
fraud are not the men to accuse Senator |
Malone OF dishonesty. II
An address to the people Of Virginia
is to be iseued by the State Readjuster q
Committee to day in which the Issues
of the coming campaign are to be clear
ly defined. Of fcoHrse i: will be looked
for and read with great degree OF in
terest.
