ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 4, 1882.

THE GAZETTE has large number of re-
publican readers, and among them are many
who are just as conscientious in their poll
teal actions as the GAZETTE is in its. 10
them it says that no matter what sort OF
man Mr.. Woltz may be, his letter, as pub
lished Friday, not only bears the impress
of truth but is sustained in every particular
BY irreilagable proof He tells the true
story of General Malone and exposes the
enormity Of his impertections i'll their naked
truth The General has made bargain
with the President which it is to his per-
sonal interest 10 keep, but he would sacrifice
the whole republican party tomorrow if it
would profit him individually to do so, with
as little hesitation as he has sacrificed its
leaders in Virginia The GAZETTE is under
the impression that its republican readers
credit it with sincerity-it is, whether they
do or not. Regarding General Malone it
tells them that what it says is endorsed by
the most reputable, true and consistent re-
publican papers in the country. As a
sample OF what such papers say on this sub
ject it directs their attention to the fol-
lowing from the Baltimore american:
Already the straightout republicans Of
Virginia are beginning to feel the inspira-
ton Of the ideas of Blaine The idea that
he is their leader fills them with hope and
enthusiasm-for they had lost both under
the leaden bosship of Malone. In several
Congressional districts straightout republic
can nominations have bright prospects.
But if this were not so they have nothing
to gain by staying in the unnatural coali-
ton with Reputation. The entire State
patronage is given into Mahone's keeping
to be used in Arthur's interest. Even the
republicans Of the Arthur wing, however,
cannot approach the President except
through Malone. 1t is useless to be an
Arthurman without being also Malone
man, is the opinion of well-informcd Viz
giuia republicans Mahone's whole purpose
is TO lead the readjuster democrats into the
stalwart republican ranks, and to do this he
sacrifices every interest of the republicans
particularly the colored republicans. 1t is,
therefore,. fortunate for them that the
hosshlp OF Mahoue uu'l his .grn,.ri have be-
come inlolcrable, and that the revolt has
come. 1t is proper for the republicans OF
Virginia in their straightout movement IL
feel that once again they are in sympathy
and accord with the national republican
party. While they were in alliance with
reputation they were acting contrary to the
whole policy and tradition Of the republican
party. The error that they made in join
ing Malone will soon be forgotten if they
will turn their backs upon it now. II
Blaine;s advice had been needed no sucl,
alliance would ever have been made. and
now the wiscst of the Virginia republicans
see that he was right all the while. Now is
the time for the Virginia republicans to cut
loose from Malone and return to the old re,
publican party.

THE SIGNS of the rapid decadence of
Mahoneism increase and multiply. A sure
sign was the trip the Secretary of the COM
monwealth, who is the editor of General
Mahone's home organ, made to Abingdon
Ill vain attempt To induce Col. Fulkerson
to Withhold his damaging assault upon the
General. Another and not less sure one is
the i'll temper Of this same editor, as mani
tested by the charcter Of the explosives he

politics is if politics have anything to
do with Mahoneism. Hopeful people are

and quarrelsome, and it is just as natural
that they should be.

THERE ARE still here and there through
out the State few, very few, democrats who
are so ultra democratic in their opinions
that they cannot reconcile their conscences
to the acceptance of democratic advice as
regards the support they should afford Mr..
Massey, who avows himself democrat,
rather than assist Capt, Wise who boldly
proclaims his alliance with the Arthur wing
ofthe republican party. As they still con-
tinue to reject the sound advice their demo
cratic friends give them on this subject, they
may probably accept that to the same effect
unintentionally given them by Gen. Ma
homes Washington organ, which, in refer
ence to another case says:

People who are poor themselves and who

to any such assertion. Poor people as well
as their most prosperous neighbors know
that poor man had no chance whatever
against rich one with Gen. Malone when
he was in charge Of rairond, and they
also know that the burdens of taxation fall
on them as We'll as upon the rich, and that
General Malone is now reveling in wealth
which Col. Fulkerson and Mr.. Rutiin say he
got by selling out the States interest in the
railroads. Gen. Malone. according to those
who know him best is his own friend, at the
expense Of every body else
