In every county in our district Mahone-
ism has either been totally routed or the
secds Of revolt against bis tyranny have
been sovn in good ground that will, II pro-
perly cultivated, bring forth honest iruit
in the November elections.
Down with the tyrant is our watchword,
and from one end OF our district 10 the
other il is the slogan OF those who have 700
long borne the iniqmties and utter dlsre-
card of the rights OF the people in the per-
son of the political renegade and political
traitor William Malone.
Henceforth the war is to be from the
sword TO the hiIt-irom the hilt to the
scabbard. Virginia must be redeemed
from the thraldom OF this petty tyrant, and
the independent voters are the agents to
do this noble work.
Let us at once organize for the grand
battle OF November. Let us invite all who
oppose the corruptions of Mahonery to come
in and participate with us in the revolu-
ton against Boss tyranny-the contest for
manhood and the preservation OF our So
cial and political rights.

The victory OF Thursday shows what may
be done. Let that animate us with new
zeal and additional courage to strick for
Virginia and down with the tyrant-Ma-

Setback for Malone.
While the Reddiusters claim TO he well
satisfied with the results Of the local cleo
tons in Virginia, it is evident from all the
reports thus lar received that they have lost
ground. A movement such rs has been
under the strenuous direction Of Senator
Malone cannot stand still. II it does not
make Roadway. it is pretty sure TO decline,
and there is certainly no indication OF pro-
gress i'm the local contest. Malone has had
the advantage of possessing the State adj
ministration and the use OF Federal patron
age. Whatever may be said TO qualify the
Significance OF these elections. there is no
doubt that they were regarded in advance
as of no small importance, and great efforts
were made on the part OF the Readiusters
TO secure favorable results. Notwithstand-
inc their advantages and their efforts there
has clearly been a falling of in their rela-
tive strength and gain on the side OF the
Bourbons.
Even in the not very enlightened politics
of Virginia the methods OF Senator Malone
have fallen into discredit. The use of
patronage, the resort to illegal assessments
upon office-holders, and the cocrcive tactics
OF the boss" system have proved COM
paratively ineffective. Even there an ele-
ment seems to exist capable OF turning the
political scale, which must be moved by
some kind OF all appeal to the convictions
Of the voters. With the settlement OF the
debt question, which seems TO be very gen.
orally accepted in Virginia as final, the Re
adiusters lost their Issue. II was bad
one at best, but ii gained support in COM
munity infected with the spirit OF repudia-
ton. Since il has been settled the Malone
party has become prominently party OF
spoils, and has been completely dominated
by boss tactics.
Whether Malone has derived any advan-
tage from the presumed sympathy and sup
port OF the national Administration is
doubtful, but il is certain that the pre-
sumption that he enjoyed any such adyan-
tage has been OF no benefit to the Admin
istration itself. He represents political
methods which have fallen into disrepute
with the Republican party, and the Admin
Istration cannot afford to eountenance in
Virginia. and in party which is not Re-
publican, what would weaken il If upheld
i'm other States and IN the party upon which
it is dependent for support. The tide has
evidently set against MahOneism in Vir-
ginia, and there Is n prospect that it may
be overwhelmed when the next general
election occurs in that State.-Ne,o YOrk
