OCH, HONE. BILLY MALONE.

The Virginia Senator Denounced as a Scoun-
dreI, an InfideI and Professional Gam
bier.
A Wytheville (va) special of the odd
says:
The first note in the red-hot warfare about 70
be begun In this state between the opponents OF
boss rule and William Malone was sounded by
State Senator Newberry here to-day. Newberry is
the leader of what is known as the big four i'm the
Virginia Senate, and II was through their Efforts
that Malone was defeated in the carrying out OF
his corrupt schemes. AS Newberry is 4 conspic
uous member of the Readjuster party, his speech
is significant. His ARA gnment of Malone
was one of the most savage onslaughts ever
made on political leader. He declared that
Malone was the most ungTateful, impericus,
dictatoriai, and corrupt politician. he had ever
known. He compared him TO Aaron Burr, Bene-
dict Arnold, and Judas Iscariot. and said thai
had he lived in the days of Judas Iscariot he
would have sold his Savior for twenty pieces OF
silver instead of thirty, the price obtained by
Judas. He declared that when Malone had con
troll OF great railroad corporation he perpetrated
swindle amounting to Sc 009, 600 and thst for his
part he would not exchange his good name for all
OF Mahones ill-gotten gains. He denounced Ma
hone as a scoundrel, notorious infdel, and q
gambler by profession and Inheritance, and said
that when he went to Richmond he did not put
up at hotel, Ike a gentleman, but made his
headquarters at q regular gambling den. Was il
not a di.grace 10 modern civilization and to this
Christian CommC nwealth, he said, 10 have such @
of of - ~ ~ boss? He regretted that that
Malone was not present. He would rather meet
him In discussion face to face aud tell him what
he thought of him than TO meet any other man In
the State. He took occasion to announce that be
would speak at Giles and Pulaski Courts, and he
challenged the boss or any Of his ickspi tiles TO
meet him al these appointments III debate. DE
intended to make II hot for Malone. He referee.
To the junior Senator as drunken Riddleber-
ger" to Dave Bailey as the Bloodhound of the
Southwest, who was engaged In bounding down
honest men because they would not wear the
collar OF Mahone, TO Frazier of Rockbridge as
dirty Jim Frazier" land Tom Cross of Nanse
mOnd, he said, was another Of the boss dry
dogs" He threw down the gauntlet TO the whole
pack, daring any of them to knock the chip of
his hat or tread on his coat tail. Newberry anu
Newberry's friends dare Malone to meet New
berry on the stump. Mahone il is understood,
will put forward Captain John s. Wise 70 do his
talking for him.
A Washington special says:
The other day Senator Malone wrote to a
M M b mi 2eceny Seore ,b
motion to refer the bill TO the judi, larry Commit
tee was carried by one majority, Malone voting
in the affirmative. and thereby preventing Ttbbs,
ing the military service OF the United States Ma
homes vote has given offense to some of his for
mer followers in Virginia. and he Is roundly
berated for his action. An examination of the
official record of the Senate shows that his at
tempted explanation contains RI least three pal
pablo and Inexeussble misrepresentation OF fac
officially recorded. For Instance, Malone in his
published letter says: 81 was not in the Senate
at any time during the proceedings of the soc4led
Tibbs case until the morning when The resolution
proposing to refer the bill ana all the amend
ments which had been offered TO the Judiciary
Committee was called in regular order"
The motion to refer the bill 10 the judiciary
Committee was called up and carried on May 4.
and yet the official record of April IS shows that
Garland's motion to take up the bill was carried
by vote of % to %, four Republicans, ingalls,.
Plumb Sewell and Cameron of Wisconsin, voting
in the affirmative, and Mason voting in the neg
alive.
The letter of the Readjuster boss is for him a
very unfortunate production. His vote on the
Tibbs matter will not do him much harm
among his followers as VIII the deliberate and
unblushing Misrepresentation and falsificauons
of the official record contained in his attempted
exclamation. NJ
