ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, ocT'R. 80, 1892.

GOVERNOR CAMERON showed very conclu
sively BY his speech Friday night that he
has abandoned the ideas and principles
which controlled him but few years ago,
and adopted others directly in conflict with
them. Now he says:
Dire prophecies had been made Of what
would follow if the colored race were given
the rights which the readjusler party had
pledged they should have"
Then he propheced
Nay, more, they the Bollingitics,J are
willing TO bOrro'r negro assistance to accom-
plish this ini;lmy to the State, and then they
claim to I've conservatives, and ask white
men TO vote with them.
'The motives which impel the radical lead
ers to adopt this change Of tactics are sufl-
GENTLY Ineligible. They hope and with
good reason, that the links Of The Consr,ra-
tire formation once broken, they can regain
their supremacy. 1t is but small sac
rifcc that they should pay hopeless can
didacy for the senate for an opportunity Of
possessing the Office and patronage OF the
leading community in Southside, Virginia"
Now he says:
20 establish the white mans rights it
was III nowisc necessary to abridgc those of
the colored people"
Then he spoke thus
Richard and Fan Auken will be very
much disappointed on Tuesday night if it
shall be found that Mr.. Hinton has been
elected. Such news as that will drive iron
into he souls of the opprcssors of our brcth-
rem, the feeders on our substance, and the
prosecutors o! our registrars und jHdQps But
I'LL true conservatives will rejoice ut it. DO
the white people Of Petersburg, wish to
labor for the satisfaction Of the radical
leaders
Before casting their ballots, we beg of
I'LL hrhitc men who ever had an idea of sup
porting Mr.. Boiling, to pause and ask them
selves what earthly object can have induced
the radical leaders to appear in this canvass
as the dHrimies of a SO called conservative
faction. What has brought about this sud
den appearance of agreement between men
who, but Il few months ago, were Oh the
same am!cablc terms rs cats and dogs :?
Have the radicals all ut once become liberal
and patriotic? Has the carpet-baggins Loop
ard changed his spots or the blind Ethio-
plan his skin? Or is IL Il deep laid scheme of

Now The democratic party is dead in po-
lilical sin and transSrcssion. Then he was an
ardent and ultra democrat as the above ex-
tracts prove. Now In war and in peace
General Malone had always been his
friend" Then the subtle influence of Cen
erul Malone WAS at work corrupting the
State and lis legislature. Certainly Cover
nor Cameron! can boast Of being the most
inconsistent and changeable man now living.
