There are $4,000 negro votes I'm the state Of
Virginia against 100000 whites. making total
votes were pcilcd. II 10000 Of the $4,000 who

colored men who did vote. OF these more than
80. 900 voted for John =. Wise, while less than
g. 600 blacks and whites voted for "A negro claim

This result r. credited by the Bourbon Washing

II the above article from the National
Republican of December I'd was written by
George c. Gorlam, the editor, it shows
how little he knows about the politics OF
virginia. II it was written by General
Malone, it, purpose must have been to eX-
cuSe his failure in the late election in Viz
ginia, and thereby deceive the President,
TO whom he bad made the promise that If
he would give him the patronage in the
State. and allow him to draw ut will on
the corruption fund of Jay liubbell, and
to assess all Nirginians in the employ OF the
Government for campaign purpose IN Nir-
GINA, he would carry the State by $4,000
majority, elect seven certain, and probably
ten congressman, and insure the state for
the Staiwarts in 1884.
But concedng the figures OF the Repub-
icdn 10 be true, IFS statement is sufficient
to arouse the indignation OF every white
man, woman, and child in Virginia.
The Republican states that ,0O0 negroes
voted for Wise; that there are 10000 ne
gro votes i'm Virginia; that $4,000 voters
all told stayed away from the polls or voted
for Dawson; that in 1884, the capitatiOn-
tax qualification being removed, the entire
negro vote Of 10000 will be cast solid for
the Republican candidate. Now Wise re-
ceivcd 101 900 votes in the last election.
Deduct the $4,000 negro votes, and there
is LETT 81 900 white votes cast for Wise.
The Republican then says:
"a full vote in 1884 will stand as fol-
lows:
White and black Rcadjusters. 600
White ana black Democrats, Sc...........119,00U
$4,000
That i, to say, the Republican party will
carry the State in 1884 by a majority OF
81 200. The Republican party will then
bc composed OF 10000 voters. Deduct
/ u ,0OO white votes, and there remains
| lOi 900 negro Votes-that i, the Republic
can party in Virginia in 1881 will be COM
posed OF over tJrC negroes to one white
man."
White Readiusters OF Virginia, what
do you think Of this statement in Aa-
| homes leading organ?
| But what are the facts? In 1850 the Ee-
publicans. the Democrats, end the Read
/ juslcrs had each an electoral ticket. The
Republicans carried $1,000, the Democrats
$1,000, and the Readiusiers 81, 600 votes.
/ This was presidential election, and a-
| full 4 negro vote was voted as the Repub-
| lican party in Virginia can brin- to the
polls. OF the $1,000 votes cast, 1900 were
negro and 10000 were white. In the last
election, being an of year, ;hc nccroe.
were, as usual, indifferent, and TO arouse
| their enthusiasm the full power OF the AC-
minstration was brought TO bear. Money
was layi>hly used and place promised all
! their leaders, and the usual vote was
| brought TO the polls. The same appliances
were used among the Rcddiu,torS. Ma
homes papers and speakers declared most
positively that they were Democrats
! that the charge that Mahonc's puI-
! pose WIS TO lead them into the Republican
party was false; that the only issue in the
canvass was rcddiuslmcnt; there was ;
swarm OF revenue officers in every dis
trct and county, who were in the saddle
from the beginning 10 the end OF the cam
yass, and still Malone carried hut l0l,00.

deception Malone has praciicod upon
them.
such declarations as those we quote from
the National Republican have opened IL,
eyes OF the Democratic Readjusters in Vir
ginia, and if the vote Of November ~
were taken to-day the Democrats would
carry the state by $4,000 majority.
The Democrats had no organization il
the last canvass in Virginia. At lclS
80, 200 OF their numbers were ut home OF
day Of election. They had not a singh
speaker to and Massey in the state canvass
They did not spend Il dollar in the election
ON the other hand, Malone had periec
, organization OF the negroes and the whites
who expected Republican success this yea
and in 1884. He had Hubbelrs money b,
the Gdr'i; is said TO have sent NOR
money TO the Ninth district thar
, any district in the United States
Federal office was promised TO every vote
by Malone OF his canyasSers; he had al
the State officers in the field, and STILL afte
this, the greatest effort Of his life, ant
greater elan he will ever make again, Ii
carried only 10l 900 votes out Of yotin,
population OF 275,000. Could there be
more crushing iailurey Nearly every vote
! in Virginia that could be induced T.
a vote the Republican ticket by the Use O
money, whiskey, the promise of success
and offices; by the frantic personal appeal
, OF Malone and his followers to "Sayc
q CaSsius, or | sink; by the whole powe
: of the Federal Administration actiyel
o eXertcd, was brought to the polls in tn
= last election; and if the whole 21j,OO
, votes had been cast Malone could not lIay

for his candidates. Let the Democrats or
u game, and they can carry the State b,
Y $4,000 in 1884.
