No BODY can blame Northern democrats
for not weeping and wailing aud gnashins
their teeth at the alliance that exists be-
tween Malone and the Arthur wing Of the
republican party in Virginia They did all
that was possible to help their party friends
inVirginia to defeat the plans ofthat nefarious
alliance, hut, having failed. they arc b. no
mean. like those without hope; for they
know tina, the alliance referred to rebound
ed greatly to their own benefit at the re-
cent election and that the more intimate it
becomes and the longer it lasts the better it
will be for them. Ifby means of the coali-
ton between Arthur and Malone they can
retain possession of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts, Indiana, and other
Northern States, gained by that coalition,
they cannot be censured by reasonable peo-
pie for not grievins over the loss of Virginia.
They say it j.. pretty hard that their friends
in the Old Dominion should be subjected 10
the control Of such gang as that composed
of the Mnhonctcs. but that as the comprn-
satius gains far exceed the loss i! ia not FIR
them to grumble.
