The success Of the New York Boss In
nominating his candidate for Governor
will no doubt have In Pennsylvania an ef.
sect which was neither expected nor de-
sired by Mr.. ARTHUR. II must show to the
Republicans in the latter State that they
have now no choice but to continue In the
field their candidate for Governor, even II
the consequence be the election OF the De-
mocratic candidate for that office. The
New York Tribune and the New YORK
Times both freely concede-not to say
charge-that the nomination OF FoLGER
WAS an Administration victory. An
Administration victory is stalwart
victory. A Stalwart victory Is an
anti-BLANE victory. An anti-BLAiNE
victory is victory gained by the
men who packed the Cincinnati Con-
yentlon OF 1876 and the Chicago Conyen-
ton of 1880 with Stalwart delegates by
means Of State conventions controlled by
LOGAN, CoNKLING, and CAMERON. the
BLAINE Republicans Of Pennsylvania know
all these things. They know that the
white plume OF BLAINE will not be
seen waving at their head in 1854
II these Stalwart bosses and manipu-
lators of State conventions can have
their way. They know that BLAINE's popu-
larity is with the anti-machine Republ-
cans. and that il they renew their ale
riance TO the machine they will betray
him. They know that it is in the district
conventions that BLAINE is strongest. The
nearer the representative body is to the
voters themselves, the better will be
BLAIxE's chances for the next nomination
for the presidency of the United States.
Hence his friends must repudiate State
conventions. and demand that all delegates
10 the next Republican National Conyen-
ton shall be elected by district coventions.
In Virginia the Coaltionists have boss
who can out CAMERON CAMERON. lie, too,
is Stalwart of the Stalwarts. The New
York Convention that nominated FoLGER
hypocritically declared for ciyi-servicc re-
form, whilst actually nominating a candl-
date in violation OF all the principles and
teachings Of the civil-scrvicc refOrmers.
MALONE will not pay that sort OF tribute to
the virtue Of that reform. He will not
hypocritically pretend to he in favor
OF such reform. On the contrary,
he seems TO delight In making ii
known that he will remove from Office
every man who opposes him, and put i'll
office none hut those who bow at the
sight of his cooked hat. In 1884, less than
two years from now, MALONE will be rally
inc his clans and having his delegates ap-
pointed to the next Republican National
Convention. lie is an ayowed friend and
supporter Of CHESTER A. ARTHUR. Will
the Democratic Readjustcrs follow him
further? They will never again have so
good an opportunity to sever their con-
nection with his faction. Indeed, they will
nave no good reason to offer for DESERVING
him hereafter il this fall they stand by him
: in his war upon the Democratic party and
his bold and unblushing avowal that he and
his followers are Administration men.
People OF Virginia, ponder the subject.
Do not allow passion, prejudice, or false
pride, to prevent you from rctracing your
steps when you find that a preclpice lies
Just before you. Do not let any considera-
tions other than those which should gov
em the conduct Of true patriot have any
influence upon your mind. Decide to
come out for the right-to stand with your
old friends of the Democratic party-to
stand by your principles. Decide for Nir-
GINA and against MALONE.
