LEADER OR BOSSg

The Malone orators, now that ''boss-
lsm'' has raised such storm in the coun-
try, claim that Malone is not a boss
but political leader. This is not true
He neither leads in politics, nor has he
any politics. He put up Hancock tick
ct in 1880 and supported Arthur in 1881.
He is party trader and not political
leader. 1t is this that has Disguised the
country with him, aud it is this that caus-
es every Republican paper that attacks
Arthur's Administration to insert Ma
homes name in the article as stigma on
the Administration. In politics. Malone
is nationally disreputable. A political
leader? What would you think if Thorn
as Jefferson had procured the dismissal of
Miss Bette Bumgardner. postmistress in
Page county, because she didn't pay a
two per cent. political assessment? What
would you think of James Monroe if he
had abolished a post office in Franklin coun-
ty because the postmaster refused to pay
an assessment? What would you think Of
Henry Clay, if he had removed Mrs. Pine.
postmistress at Manassas, because her broth.
er opposed him? What would you think
of the great hearted Abraham Lincoln. if
he was the author of this way of forcing
money from women to help his political
fortunes
WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 23.--"What do

'CryP' was tie laconic response. ''Then

One Lady from Virginia, widow with
six children, on SIS salary, WAS assessed
$45. When she received the circular she
burst into tears. She was advised to ap-
peal to Mr.. Dallas, Chief of the Dead Let
ter Office. She did SO, and represented her
struggle to live on her salary, and her ina
bility to pay. He said it was a shame and
an outrage, and told her to go to Frank
Howe. who is the virtual head of the Post
office Department. Mr.. Howe heard her
pitiful story, aud then told her frankly
that her only chance was to appeal to Sen;.-
tor Malone. f
"And if l refuse to appeal to him or tn
pay it, will you protect ma!" she asked.
''That cannot do,'' hr replied.

A WORD TO DEMOCRATS AT THE
POLLS-PREPARE YOUR
NOTE BOOK!

Fear nothing; the vote of Virginia will
be fairly counted, either within her bord.
ers or by Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington. Note every at
tempted fraud on the part of the enemy
either in following Attorney General
Blair's instructions, or by colonizlug voters.
or in any ether Day. A vote that strikes
you as illegal make a note of, at the time
with the name of the voter, residence, and
any particulars you may know.
Blair has given an opinion that if reg
istered man mot on the deliI quent list)
presents certificate of the Clerk of the
Court or any satisfactory evidence that he
has not been asst sed with the capltatlon
tax and has not paid it and if the Malone
judges overule you and let him vote,
make note of it; that vote will not be sue
cessfully counted. lie sure of that,
If any man offers tax receipt to vote
on take the name of the voter and the sig
nature on the tax receipt. Don't fail to do
this! Garry your memorandum book in
which to note it. to the polls with you.
When voter presents a tax receip!
signed by one of the Especial collectors
appointed by Auditor Allen, make a note
of the name of the voter and the name of
the special collector.
Watch the negroes who, it. is reported
are being "colonized - into the Seventh
district from the Sixth district and make
q note of the number and names.
If any one around the polls suggests that
man is voting illegally. take down the
name of the voter and the name of the
suggestor.
If the Malone Judges reject a Demo
cratic legal voter, make note Of the
voters name.
Don't waste your time in discussions or
quarrels with the Malone election judges;
or Mahoneites, all you have to do is to
note the facts and the evidence to sustain
them.
At the precincts where there are no
Democratic Federal Supervisors let the
Democrats of the neighborheod agree up
on some one Of their number who will un-
dertake to make note of all these things;
or if necessary, appoint two or three to
relieve each other.
Remember that all this is vitality impor-
tant. You know who it is that is in COM
mand against you and just how unscrupu-
lous and desperate he is; but Democratic
House of Representatives is all powerful
in the seating of it's members and will
fairly and honestly decide who are the le-
gally elected members from Virginia.

Alas! the weary hours pass slow,

Where white rays mark my sentry's track;
