The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-02-11

The intense bad humor and spite OF Ma
hone towards Fulkerson and Massey Is
manifested In The abusive articles in his
personal organ the Wig. lie is as venom
Gus as rAtticsnake In August. The slight
est reference TO these gentlemen turns bis
little eycs green and causes his mouth TO
froth. What Is the matter? Were not these
gentl- 1en R1adiusters from 1871 to 1871,
while NIahono was Bourbon Fmder :?
Did he ever ospouse the cause OF rCadiust-
ment till Massey and Fulkerson had made
that cause strong enough to promise bin
Office witt, some degree OF certsinty? Did
he not commence scheminG for Office the
moment he declared for rehdi ustment? Did
he not get the latest Office in the gift OF
the Rcadjusters, and does he not owe
his elevation from political oUscurity to Tie
work OF Fukcrson, Massey, and other Re
adiusters? What, then, has occurred to
raise the dander OF this enyious little soul!
Were net Massey and FulkerSOn true TO
rCadiwtmort until the debt was settled Z
Is not The little mans spite due to the fact
that FubcrsOn and Massey would not fol-
low his example in deserving the party, in
giving the lie 60 their professions OF Demo-
crazy in 1880, and in Joining the Radical
ranks, or because they defeated Mahone's
effort 90 carry the Readiusters into the Re
publican party 10y stealth? This Is what's
the matter with William, and the people
know il.
Malone and his organ are challenged to
show that FuIkesou or Massey ever worked
for the cause for pay. Is Mahonc's editor
right sure that he Is in position that will
Justify him In twitting anybody for work
ing for pay? Who is the editor OF the
IVhiq? Where was he born2 What III
terest has bc IN Virginia. How happened
he The editor OF the Wig? Is he car
pct-bagger, scaiawag, or natiye-born white
man? Ho calls Fulkcison and Massey an
other when he styles them scalawags. Full
kersor had already dubbed the Coalition
party the Observation-Disclosures
Hamilton" party, siQhone being the true
representative scalawaS, Van Aul,en the
carpet-bagCer, and Ross Hamilton the
negro--the Coalition party being made up
Of these three sayory elements.
What IL a scalawag9 A man who deserts
his own people, his own section, his own
principles, and allies himself with the car
pet-baggers aud negroes. This Malone
and those who follow him have done. Ma
hone is therefore the very soul OF scala
wagism in Virginia.
Malone Justly fears g convention to re-
organize the Democrats Of the State, as
shown 10y his organ. Well he may be
scared, for an organization Of the Read
justcr aud Funder Democrats will force
him and his handful Of otfice-holdcrs and
offico-seeiScrs to abandon the false pre-
tence Of readiustment, now the debt is
| settled, and take their places squarely in
the Republican ranks alongside Riyes,
Van Auken, Brady, Peter j. Carter, and
Ross Hamilton.
Malone complains that few gentlemen
met in Washington on one occasion to con-
suit about Virginia affairs.
Is not this little cheeky, when The truth
is every train from Virginia is crowded "a
nQNSCdm with scalawag, carpet-bagger
and negro, en- route TO see their Boss aud
get their orders as 20 what shall be done in
this or that county in the spring elections
At this very writing Malone is holding {
secret caucus in the Agricultural Commit
tee-room OF the United States Senate, witt
Bowden, Libbey, Lesner, Lindsey, Rue
PhGbus, Gillette, Brady his man Friday
Shelley Lewis, Points, Latham, Ross Ham
ilton, and other gentlemen, to adopt rules
regulations, &C., for the government OF thu
good people Of Virginia.
Malone has made reimbursement odiou'
even in Washington. There will be another
railroad smash. Mark thcprcdictiOn. NJ
