THE REPUBLICANS AND TEE RENE.

GADES.
The success of Malone in Virginia has
impressed few vain and self-conceited
Democrats that they can revolutionize other
, Southern States and ride into power on a
popular wave OF their own creating. These
Weak-minded men have no local questions of
vital importance 10 sustain then. like that
which populariEed the Malone movement.
They seem tc think that all they have to do
is TO shout Independent" Bourbon Ga free
ballot and fair count" and they will ride
into power sustained by the Republican vote
and the disafec;ed Democrats. Bat d brief
experiment has satisfied these chronic Office
seekers that they over-estimate their own inc-
portance and underestimate the intelligence
OF the people. The Republican veterans be-
iieve that the Republican party has higher
| purposes than TO bestow Office upoH
political renegades. The revolt or Inc South

teau Arthsr to purchase every Democrat
who offers himself for sale, has alarmed and
disgusted the old party dray horses. South

The old Republican Guard in every sec.
ton OF the South express the same indigna-
lion at the cowardly and suicidal pelicy
which betrays old friends and conciliates new
converts. 1t is natural for tine Southern Re-
publicans to revolt againss system of bar
tering and trading which has no honors or |
emoluments for them. In taking TO their
embrace renegades the Republicans will dis. {

party will have no heart in contest which
