The WIG must know that we have DC
eliued 70 reproduce ~ It's present editor ;
p,tcrances articles written seyersi years
eco NV other persons. OF course the Wig
4 the Whiq. and the Dispatch is the Dis
pateh. and whatever either has said during
inc last tlfteen or even forty years may be
ouotnd as the production Of the one or the
o,her. but the fact IL, nevertheless, thst
both papers have on occasion editorial con-
tributors as well as editors. The present
writer pcnned none OF the paragraph
dated IN August and September, which the
Wliq Of yesterday quoted in commenting
mon one OF our editorials. We snail
therefore, LEI them make what point they
may against Us.
The Wkig well knows that In our article
Of Tuesday we correctly stated the issues
Of the pcnding campaign. Its attempt 70
hide the issues by such special pleas as IL
nuts in Il moro oreditable TO It's ingenuity
than 10 its canGor or 10 tho cause which
needs such props.
General MALONE has gone over TO the
Republicans, beyond doubt. lie votes
with them on oil questions. The whole
power Of a Stalwart Radical Administrs-
ton is brought TO bear IN his favor. The
Republicans who refuse TO bow tc his scep-
TIRE are few and far between. His party, In
fact, is 70 largely made up OF Republicans
that II It we're not for them the Demo
Gratis would beat him next month by
a vote Of more than three TO one.
II is mere trihing for the Wig
longer to pretend that it considers Cen
eral MALONE as Democrat. 1t de-
ceiycs nobody by making such pretences.
Democrats and Republicans unite in con-
sidering him AZ having permanently allied
himself and his followers with GRANT,
CAMERON, C0NKIING, CHANDLER, snd the
rest OF the worst OF the Radical crowd.
The issue az between Democracy and Re
puhlicanism is therefore so clearly defined
that the public generally VIII laugh 20 scorn
the claim that General MALONE is anything
else than a Republican In practice even il
it be admitted that he is one in disguise.
The Wing quotes the following:
Another issue Is the rule OF the white
tax-payers of Virginia. II the Democrats
are defeated next month Virginia Will no
longer be governed 10y her white men,
Dispatch.
And SAYS that a sufficient answer to that
Is the following:
The voters have been taught that we use
the negro as a bugbcar 10 brighten them
out Of the Rcadjuster party, and they are
fortified against attacks on that side. Let
nj! such be approached, rs they must be II
they gre 10 be converted from the error OF
their ways, on the side OF rcadiustment.-
Dispatch, october l4th.
The voters hare been thus taught by the
Mahoneites; and the Wing, in the very srti-
Gle upon which we are commenting, tries
again to teach the same thing. IL pretends
10 think that our assertion that another
issue is the rule OF the white taxpayers in
Virginia is q bugbear. But the assertion il
true all the same. And the proof Of it is
that the Wing viii not dare to say for its
party that they will appoint no negro po-
Hcemen, and allow no negro officials, IL
they succeed. II IL will, speaking for Its
party, give the public the assurance that
In the event OF RCadluster success next
month Virginia shall continue TO be gov
erned by her white men, and afflicted with
no negro officials, then we will concede
that the rule OF the white race is not an
issue in the present campaign.
