Office. Therefore, there Is not much danger
that auy real enemy Of Radicalism or Re

after fighting in the MALONE ranks.
But how Is 1t with the Republicans
Evidently the MALONE cry for free ballot
and fair count-a cry as UNDERSTOOD ~
home for the repeal OF the capitaiion'tax
law-has caught the ears and made lodg'
mept In the breasts OF number OF re-
pub,lcans. The President OF the United
States has q decided leaning to the
ReGdjusters, though he will prooaDly'
AZ we have said before, not fight tins
year sgainst his own Straighfout he'
publicans nor for the Mahoneites. The
Washington correspondents insist that ne
will antagonize the WIcKnAM Republicans
but they are so constantly 10 communica'
ton with Office holders Of the Democratic
party who are dreadiully alarmed at the
prospect OF being turned out OF office by
the Mahoneites that We prefer to look at the
matter through uncolored glasses rather
than through their spectacles. We can
very well believe that Mr.. GARFIELD VIII
do all In his power TO aid the Mahonei,es
In case the Republicans run no can
dida,es for State offices this year. We
will at once coincide with their opinion II
the correspondents aforesaid will say that
that is what they mean. But We DO not
for one moment credit the statement that
after the Straightout Republicans put
ticket into the field Mr.. GABFiELD will war
against that ticket. Such thing is next 10
incredible. There could be no sufficient
motive.
When, therefore, the Republican Read
busters appear before the President for the
purpose OF inducing him 10 take part With
the MALONE party, he can very easily Sc
cure the information necessary to enable
him 10 make up bis mind whether 1t would
or would not be good policy for him TO side
with them. He knows that there can be
but two parties in this country. He knows
that IL the ReSdjusters should carry Vir-
ginia this year they will have Dext year and
in the next presidential election to vote
with either the Democratic party or Tue
Republican party. He knows, therefore,
that In aiding to destroy the regular Repub'
lican party, be may be at least trying to
build up party that will be afraid to sup
port the Republican party hereafter. He
might lind that his efforts to form success.
full Republican party bad resulted in the
formation OF an anti. Republican party-that
be bad caught Tartar, in word.
II the President wants to know how Gen.
eraI MALONE stands In regard to this matter,
let him depute Mr.. BLISS, Fir. HOOPER, Mr..
LEWIS, Mr.. MADDOX, aud Mr.. GRAY, 10 wait
upon Mr.. CAMERON, Mr.. BLAIR, and Gene
raj MALONE, and learn from them definitely
whether they propose or not to act with
the Republican party in the presidential
election Of 1884 We venture to say
that they will get no promises out
OF either one Of those gentlemen, who
seek Republican votes in order to defeat the
Democratic party, but equally seek Demo-
cratic votes in order 10 defeat the Republic
can party. Evidently either the Democratic
Rea1iusters are to be deceived, or else
General MAHoNE's party cannot hereafter
act with the Republicans. Now, isn't Mr..
GARFIELD smart enough to put these MA
HoXE-alies TO the test?
