Aud whereas. on August II. William Malone
replied to Isaac Z. Baldwin without denying the
statements made BY Mr.. Duff Green, the intruder
alluded TO, and to this day has allowed his poti-
'a! friends and foes to believe that he was the
author OF the gross insult given to the rcadiusters
ana republicans of this county by the said Duff
Green, and no explanation or apology has been
made therefor:
Aud whereas, the said William Malone hv
81,
particularly by his attempt to constrain PARTY
action by the use of the vast official patronage
coniidcd to him by the President of the United
states succeeded in setting aside the will of the
people and III nominating candidate against
their will:
Therefore resolved, by the county committed Of |
the liberal rcadiuSter party of Prince William
County l, That the said William Malone has for
ieitrd orr confidence us Il party-leader and that |
we wiiino longer recognizes him in the capacity |
oil chairman, and instruct our officers to have no
whatever with him. Wefurtber |
call on our State Committee to remove him from
the high Office he disgraccs and to elect man |
who has some respect for the rights of the people
=. That IN our opinion no members of Congress |
or of our State Legislature or Of any committees
oil the party have any power to formulate new
principles for the party or to nominate candidates
to be voted for by the people, and we declare that
IN such matters the party can only he bound by
regular and fairly conducted conventions
.. That we are as much rs ever devoted to the
principles oil the party as ratified by our State
conventions, ana we rejoice in the progress made
toward an honest read lustment of the State debt
the maintenance of our public schools, and the re.
of free manhood suffrage We will
still labor to establish these principles not only
against open opposition but against the secret in
irlgues OF William Malone and his INSCRIPTIONS
allies.
1. That whereas. the reali,lsters and republi.
cans of Prince William County have, in three
mass meetings held at Brentsville, Manassas and
Ihoroughtare unanimously repudiated John S.
Wise and Robert NJ. Mayo, the Congressional cam
idates of William Malone, and endorsed John
NJ Dawson and John w. Volt as the candidates
Of the people, therefore we call on all who are op-
posed to "Bourbonism,' on the one hand. and to
'Mahoneism' on the other, 10 unite upon "Daw-
son and Woltz." unless before the 1st of October
The proper steps are taken for the nomn ltion of
candidates by fairly conducted conventions. I'M
aS1ed by Malone or his missions
