Heeking Office.
Permit ms to ask your attention to some
few facts which greatly concern your own
happiness, as well Us the happiness OF your
children. We do not propose TO abuse the
"Ross." the "toe-nail" Governor, or even
the "hiredv hcnchmen Of the Boss. our
wish Is 10 address ourselves to your reason.
we will start out with the declaration that
In our Judgment the white Is the superior
rnce. and il that fact Is admitted by you,
Won are bound also to admit that II Is con-
trary 10 reason for you to aid party which
In your heart you know would not
have n shadow OF chance TO carry
the State OF Virginia In the COM
ing election without wellnigh getting
the solid negro vote. No man with three
Grains Of sense would deny the fact that II
the voting was done only by the white race
Malone would be completely crushed in
the coming election. lie and his party
know that without the negro vote they
vould be "dead cocks" III the political
pit. Such being the fact, does il not occur
TO YOU as white men that it is, to say the
least. very doubtful why you should go
back on the great bulk OF the white men
of the State, and cast your vote with q
party which can only succeed by we'll
nigh solid negro vote! You must kno"
that more than half Of such voters nave
no more idea Of the principles which
should govern an enlightened people III
conducting their form Of government IMAM
so many children. Do you not see lilat
their leaders are paid to humbug and BRING
them to the polls and make them vote llist
as such leaders may dictate! We have the
very kindest feelings for the negro, bllt we
will never admit him as belonging 10
race equal 10 the white. All hisioI!
proves that the white IS the superior race,
and rs such should be the governing one
in every civilized country where the two
races exist together. II was the negro vote
that sentthc Boss TO the United States Senate.
II was the same vote that made the "toe-
nail" Governor, and to such vote the same
party i now looking "tO bind mana ana
FOOT the great bulk oil the white men OF
the State. The State debt having been SET
tied, we ask white RcHdlusters are they
now willing to be marched over to the Ar
party at the bidding OF
any boss? Do you not know that such
party has done everything which il could
do to DEGRADE and humble the white peo-
pie OF the south! Are YOU willing to swal-
low your past declarations against such par
". and, solely for the purpose OF helping
o0icc-hOldcrs, put in Office, As you
know, by negro votes: II you viii read
the papers YOU will find that vast number
Of such oliicc-holders. instead OF attending
TO their business rs the servants OF the pe0-
ple. are here, there, and everywhere, work
Ing like beavers for themselves rs Office
holders and for Mr.. Arthur and the Boss.
They are bound. il would seem, TO work
for the latter in order 10 hold their places.
Are not General Mah0nc's ways contrary
TO Che best interests OF any people who
love true liberty and have the slightest
regard for what Is morally right?
Look at the paper that Readiuster
"candidates for the Legislature" signed
last year before their election, and which
they did at his bidding. Why, such action
was not only nh insult TO the people, but
was gross attack upon our form OF gov
eminent. Had bare majority OF h. eau
Gus (but thinly attcndcd) resolved in favor
Of making it legal for whites and negroes
to intcrmally. every man who gave the
pledge asked for by Malone would have
been bound to vote for such bill. Think
Of that, white RcaliuStcrS. and stop
acting with party which is de-
pendent on negro votes from being
utterly crushed by white men, and who are
not vet ashamed to admit that they are fol-
lowers of Washington. Jefferson, Lee, and
jackson. As between Arthur, GOrham,
Malone, and lngersoll. they prefer to fol-
low the former all the time. even il they
are forced thereby to do without the vote
OF our "colOrcd allies Let the negro
enjoy every right he i entitled to
under the law, and treat him justly and
kindly; but do rot continue to vote
with a party whose life is solely Depend
ent on the support given it by negroes.
II the latter is to do the voting, how long,
think YOU. before they will be demanding
"mixcd Schools" to be followed after
wards bv "miXcd marriages How
shocked and indignant many OF you were
some two years ago when told by some
irue-blue southern Democrat "that in less
than twelve months General Malone would
land in the Republican party That pre-
diction came too true. and he is now for
marching YOU over 10 the same party. The
question j. will YOU 20? Ii 80, then don't
be shocked ii in two years from now
"miXed schools" shall be the lever TO
keep the negroes from deserving Malone.
A. soon as that j. granted, OF course the
next issue will naturally be "to abolish the
present laws preventing whites and blacks
from intcrmarrying.' Doubtless some
white politicians now would 20 for one or
both rather than TO lose the negro vote. If
YOU value what is for your own good and
the good OF your children, we warn you to
drop party whose life is solely dependent
on negro votes. OF course every Malone
man will now say that the darkieS don't
want mixed schools and mixed marriages.
What we want is such action now on
the part OF white men As Will pre-
vent the negroes from ever getting
such thing, hereafter a. mixed school,
and mixed marriages, no matter how
much they then may want them.
/ II you felt like fighting on hearing, about
! two years ago, some Democrat say" that
in less than tWclycmonth, General Malone
would land in the Republican party" will
( you, after such has come TO pass, feel any
more like fighting ii, in the next two years,
in order 10 keep the negroes true 10 him,
General Malone comes out strongly foI
''miXed schools: II, Is a Democrat, he
was willing to 20 over to the Republican
party and make 4 trade with Mr.. Arthur 50
As TO keep himself and his henchmcn in
power, is Il unreasonable TO suppose that
he would he willing 90 20 for "miXed free
schools" rather than to lose his grip on the
negroes OF the State: Why, we believe
he would now 80 further than that
rather than permit the educated and honest
white men Of the State to obtain triumph
over him. What would Thomas Jefferson
have said to Billy Malone had he proposed
to make trade by which the said Billy
would. have disposal OF all the Federal Of
fees in Virginia: What a two-ccnt Pre-
sident Mr.. Arthur must be to be willing so
to trade as to make the Boss the disposer
Of all Federal Offices in the State. The
