The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1882-10-24

Malone declares that John s. Wise, the
Rradjusler candidate for Congressnan'at
large in Virginia. will be elected by 10000
minority, and that the l.eadjustes will
carry I Of the 0 Congressional districts. II
looks as Il all this would pan out rs Mlahone
says.
There are two Wises running for Con
yress,-Ge0.. d. regular Democratic can
dilste in The Richmond district, and John
S. (son OF the late Governor IlenryS. Wise
the Rcadjnsler candidate at large. Doll
Of them, 1t seems, are protcctiohists
The former sits in tho present Congress,
and Mt u meeting Saturday night, at TIT
West End, in Richmond, he was question
cd OH the subject Of the tariff by one o
the operatives Of the Trelegnr Iron Works
The following colloquy ensucd:
Some one in the crowd shouted out "Dit
you 10 in Congress what you promised TIN
Trclegar men you would do?"
"Order, Order" cried friend oil Captain
Wise.
"I.et him ask as many questions rs III
wants. said Captain Wise, "l'll answe
them ALL" "Did ! do what promised
the T'redegar men? Yes, sir every time
Every time the roll was called ! voted FOL
protection. II was,a nine.nontlls' session
the longest session in the history oil tlit
country. Inever lodged vote, and nevel
failed to vote as promised tho Tredcga'
men would, and ! have Il telegram now
from the Iron and Steel Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION editor saying that my speech sci.
forth the true doctrine on the subject, anC
that my people ought to return me-"
This is q noticeable incident, as 1t seems
10 show the direction in which public
opinion is turning nj the South Oh the
tariff question. 1t Is believed that in ter
yenri from now the strongest tariff States
in the Union will be at the South; sucl
States rs West Virginia, Virginia, Tennes
zee, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana. They
arGthereiorc likely TO be Republican States
Virginia viii virtually be Republican
State in the next Congress. The followers
Of Malone call themselves "Administra
ton" men. That is the name they have
formally adopted. They have dropped thu
name Of Readjusters, inasmuch us they
claim to have readjusted the debt question
sufficiently and definitely. and have taken
on tlat ofthe Administration party, which il
only, OF course, another name for Republi'
cun.
Something important is TO grow out o.
the result in Virginia this canvass. Hel
political complexion will assume new
hue, and il is not likely 10 be Democratic
hue fora long time TO come, il ever again
Malone, Riddleberger and John S. Wise
claim 10 be leading the State out Of the
wilderness Of Bourbonism into the prom
ised land And, as respects this, we be
lieve that they are building wiser than
they know. Republicans outside OF Virginia
have been olish about endorsing them on
account Of their dcbt-paYins views, but now
that the contest has dropped its mere State
aspect and taken on national phase it il
plainly observablctlatlliey have thesympa
thiesof Republicans generally Of the North
Whatever may be said Of Malone from q
re.adjusler's point Of view, there is nc
denying the fact that us regards anti.Bour-
bonism he is doing great work for Nir.
ginia and the South. lie has been faithful
to the colored pe9ple-kept hispromises to
them, and has virtually re.cniranchised
them, and for this they are grateful to him,
as indeed they ought 10 be, and they will
vote for the Malone candidates in this
