A NEwsBoY writes to The REPUBLICAN
that he supports his aged mother, and by
selling newspapers; that Sunday is his best
day that he does not make half so loud
and unnecessary noise as a good many
ministers make in their pulpits; that his
profits are very small as compared with
the Sunday earnings of the preachers !;
that he believes they are good men, try
ing to do their duty, and although he is
frequently disturbed by one of them
whose church is close to his mothers
house, he has never complained to the
Commissioners or the police. In con-
clusion, he hopes his occupation will not
be destroyed, for he has no other way of
earning money. olive and let live" he
says, is his motto.

That the result of the November cleo
ton in Virginia forever divorced the
Old Dominion from Bourbon and I'M
American political fellowship ought to
have been an obvious fact to everybody.
Bourbons alone refused TO see it in that
light as they always refuse to see philos-
ophy in events. They could not see that
they courted sclf-destruction when they
made their brutal and stupid assaults
when the old-time Democratic strong
holds of the valley and the Southwest
swept Cameron into the goyornorship
and Riddleberger into the Senate could
they see that they had been overtaken
by deluge. Forgetful that on every
stump last year Readjuster orators
proclaimed as an issue Mahones
cooperation with the Republicans in the
Senate, and that the people Endorsed it
overwhelmingly ut the polls, Bourbons
dream now of desertions from the Read
juster ranks because of Mahone's pro-
claimed purpose to cooperate with the
administration. Even Massey and the
"Big Four" gave them comfort for
while. viii the results at Petersburg,
Norfolk, and Lynchburg awaken them to
the spirit of the times they live in? No,
indeed. They will "cackle on" as the
"litte woman" did. They will pirate of
"Bossism," of DIR. Tebbs," of Bargains
with Radicals and stalwarts," and con-
tinue to retail to wearied world all
their stale tattle; meanwhile Malone
and Liberalism move on with an almost
undsturbed march of numerous and

1t was characteristic of Bourbonism,
and illustrative of its grand despair" in
Virginia, to bring on general engage
ment upon such skirmish line rs these
local elections at points where failure
would make all the world see its des-
perate condition. To risk the loss of
Major Daniel home had in it much of
purblind folly. But what of the phenom-
email folly Of the attack on Petersburg, the
Readjuster Malakoff? And it was made
with n nerve that could have been in
spired only by sincere belief that
Petersburg might capitulate. In the re-
suit at Petersburg more than in the
result at any other locality will
the country read the doom of Virginia
Bourbonism at the fall elections. Coal-
ton among the masses whose votes are
necessary to make it successful is COM
pete. 1t wins against the most desper-
ate assaults of Bourbonism in the COM
munity where reside Senator Malone,

who, as chairman of the Republican State
Executive Committee, has been the val
liant and efficient promoter ofcoalition.
