Massey and Wise.

MIR. Editor: That many of your Fundel
readers may know what Mr. Wise had to
say about the average Funders' little
over one year ago, we ask you to print the
extracts below, taken from your report OF
his speech delivered in Petersburg on the
night Of the 30th of June, 1881, and which
vas published in the Index appeal of the
next day. We take it for granted that you
regard the report OF his speech made by
yourself us fair one, and it is due to our
selves that we shall say that we have never
seen anything from Mr.. Wise explaining, re-
pudiatIng, or disowning any sentiment eX-
pressed in such speech rs published by YOU
Being, as you say, 1.-THE first political meet
Ing otthe campaign" tofthe Readjuster par
w. the presumption is that Mr.. Wise must
have seen the speech printed by you.
That his hearers might know to which
party he belonged he said
He did not speak as Democrat or Re-
publican, but as Readjuster, to which par
ty he belongs; and lift comes in contact with
Democracy or Republicanism, the two latter
may go to the devil"
AS things now look, it would appear that
if the Republican party was going to the
devil Mr.. Wise has made up his mind to
go along with it.
Again Mr.. Wise said: .s-.--.
''Hc pronounced the average .Funtler a
very whore in politics" and said they are
the degenerate sons Of defl,nct ancestry
1t is known of all men, as we think, that
the Funder party Of Virginia was composed
OF Il vast majority of the hest, most ntelli-
gent, and largest taxpayers in the State,
made up of preachers, lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants, mechanics: farmers, and planters of
the white race, and yet Mr.. Wise pronounc-
ed the average Funder very whore in pol
tics" We want Funders to put that in
their pipes and smoke. it until such smell
shall arise as will cause them not only to
vote for congressman at large" but to
work for Mr.. Massey, even if he is running
as an independent candidate-C5r. Peters,

POLITICAL.

Hon. \. H. Stephen has been nominated
for Governor of Georgia by the Democratic
State Convention.
The Straightout Republican Convention
of the I'd district has nominated Dezen-
dorf for reelection to Congress by acclama-
ton.
Louis c. Latham, the present Representa-
tive, has been renominated for Congress by
the Democratic Convention of the first North
Carolina district -.
The action of the Democratic State
Central Committee in declining to call a
convention is fully endorsed by the Demo-
cratic Committee of Pittsylvalnia.
Mr.. Massey spoke at Winchester on Tues
day night to Il large audience. His speech
was 4 severe arrangement of Mahoneism
and stalwart republicans, and produced 4
marked effect.
The Warrcnton Jiryinim says that in
Fauqucr the conservative democrats and
readjusters with one voice, approve the cam
ditlacy Of Mr.. Massey and will give him
their hearty support.
Mr.. Crner. republican representative
from the 9th Maryland district, Indignantly
denies that he has declined denomination
| for Congress, and says he will not be want
ing in his duty if his constituents desire TO
honor him by placing him in the field
| Harris, who was Endorsed for Congress at
Dinwiddie Court House by the readjusters
on Monday, was charged by Roane, q
colored lawyer from Richmond, with de-
handing illegal fees as an attorney. Harris
has gone to Washington to get evidence to
refute the charge.
The probabilities are that General Robe
son. J. Hart Brewer, John Hill, and Phineas
Jones, republicans, and Miles Ross, Henry
5. Harris, and \. A. Hardenburgh, demo
crats-the whole New Jersey delegation in
Congres>-will be renominated, and the
chances are that all Of them will be re.
elected.
The Fredericksburg News says: The
choice must he made; the alternative cannot
be evaded A vote for Massey is vote fol
democratic men and measures; not to vote

Of Virginia and the democratic party of the

One OF the required qualifications Of all
Mahoneite candidates for Congress is that
they shall earnestly and without reservation
give their support to the Arthur and Stall
wart wing of the republican party. That
the imposition Of such u qualification is II
part Of the bargain General Malone has
made with the President, and by which he
has obtained the undisputcd control Of the
federal patronage in Virginia, is generally
conceded. But is it likely that men who
have heretofore been democrats will support
candidates possessed Of this qualification
By no means. Nor is ii certain that men

with Senator Jones of Nevada, who is q

of the proprietorship of the government of
this country for whereas the Senator saws
it's the white mans government, the organ
says it isnet. That it is the white mans gov
eminent in the North is beyond dispute,
and all who have any real interest in the
welfare of the South are endeavoring to
have the same sort Of Government there

GENERAL MAHoNE's Washington organ
is frank enough to acknowledge that the
North is divided and that republicanism
cannot again prevail against the Solid South.
But it is also silly enough to ask the
democrats of the South to come to the

the defeat it so justly deserves by its sec

ed representatives Of the Irish land league
contracted with therepublicans ofNcw York
to deliver enough Irish votes to give that
State to the republicans in 1880 and that
they have negotiated similar contract for
the approaching election in Pennsylvania
is attracting no little attention throughout
the entire country. Possibly such contracts
may have been made, but that the votes
were or can be delivered is what few will
believe. 1t is certain that if such thing be
