perhaps natural that Republicans In remote

this opinion; but at this snort as

be trusted BY the Republican party, ana tnat
nv whatever means the solid SOuth may
hereafter be broken, an alliance with repil'
diators Is certainly powerless TO accomplish
it.v
The Americon keeps Its eyes open EVIL.
IDENTIFY, 1t knows that General MAHoNE's
candidates dare not declare themselves to
be Republicans. In fact, they dare not
ayow that they even sympathize with the
Republican party. They are trying to re-
tain their hold upon some few thousands OF
white voters who went with them last fall,
and arc therefore afraid to call themselves
Republicans or Il, oroiess to be acting with
the Republicans. At the same time, they
are working so hard to secure the negro
vote that 1t would be difficult to imagine
how Republican journal could go farther
than they do in denouncing the white mans
party 10 Virginia as Bourbons aud as ene'
mics OF ga free ballot and fair count"
We ask once more, What would the Re-
publican party gain by Readiuster tri-
umph In Virginias This to the Republi'
cans.
We ask the Democrats among the Re-
adjusters, on the other hand, How, II the
Republican party ought to ally themselves
with the Maboneites, aud will be strength
ened by MALONE triumph in Virginia
next falL-how, we ask, can you consent to
be party to a victory over your own peo-
pie!
The Washington Post says:
"This action necessarily settles oil doubt |
that NAV have heretofore been felt as TO the |
attitude OF Mr.. Garfield towards the Vir. |
rinja canvass. The President may stand !
alooi from the contest, but he cannot con- |
sisteutly have it understood that his sympa. |
tbies are anywhere but with the candidates |
and policy OF the regular Republican organ
ization.
"Aid and comfort to the enemy would
be treason to his party"
The Post speaks almost too confidently
but its guess as to the Presidents neu-
trality Is made also by the Philadelphia In
0uirtr, Hon. z. d. KELLEY's organ, and
one Of The most Incorporating Republic
can papers 10 the Union. 1t says:
"The former 1.-THE Malone party has put
n good Republican in the second place on
its State ticket and invited the straighout
Republicans to unite with 1t in efforts to
defeat the Bourbon Democrats. But the
Rexdjusters have done this not because
they particularly like Republicans or sym.
pathize with Republicanism, but because
they are so numerically weak as to rem
der their success at the polls impos-
sible, and they have called upon the Repub.
lcans 10 pull the official chestnuts out OF
the fire. IL any party has right to the
support Of the Administration it Is the Re-
publican party; but 1t is manilestly i'm.
proper for the Chief Magistrate Of the
country TO use the power OF his high Office
to secure the triumph Of any political or.
ganization. The people themselves shall
settle who shall be their State officers with
out any interference from the Federal Gov
eminent"
That paragraph probably indicates the
line OF conduct OF the President. He win
not fight his own party, nor assist the Ma.
HONE party. He will let the result Of next
November's election tell him which is the
stronger party In Virginia. He will never
have doubt afterwards.
