to the most hopeless of the county forlorn
hopes, and the only claim upon Demo-
cratic votes, is that claim which is only
put forward to those Democrats, whom
they suppose ignorant enough to credit it.
that man can be Democrat and yet
vote for, auth, and IN the Republican
party.
Let every Democrat in Augusta put
himself in line with the National Demo
cracy. Let him swell the vote of his county
80 that next Tuesday will DOT only secure
a Democratic Sc. ate or H.use alone, but
also show that old Democratic Virginia

CRATIC TICKET-ECHOLS AND
,PIE. DOl'r SWAP AWAY YOUR

REPUBLICAN, OR DEMOCRAT?
That is your vote next Tuesday. Don't
ipceive yourself about Readjustment. or
zeal issues, or personal preferencss-you
will vote next Tuesday for the Democrat
&c or the Republican parties. If you vote
for the two representatives of Gen. Ma
hone and his Coalition party in Augusta,
Messrs. Fulcher and Hamilton. you are
voting for the Republican party. This is
no idle assertion made for campaign effect
Here is the proof The Rich mould Wing
Gen. Mahone's Richmond organ, says:
I'VE have repea eddy and plainly tod the Dis
patch, and all other B,urbohs who read the Wing
that we aud the Read1uster party, beyond all doubt
will support the Republican ticket next year, pro-
vided Its nominee and pl tform be favOra BILE to us
We Just as certainly will not support such ticket
II it be inimical to us We fully expect, however.
that the Republican ticket and platform aciN be ia
Uorable to as and Just Jy zee expect to support
that ticket acteT the time comes"
The National Republican. Gen. Malone s
Washington organ. says:
whatever else may occur the Democratic party
will never have ans support. aid or encouragement
at the hands of MahOne."
Gen. Mahoue himself in an interview
with reporter IF the N. Y Herald saws:
II did not hesitate to declare when the proper
time had arrived that the solid South ought to be
broken up. came to that conclusion long before
uttered it. Revolutions of opinion are always by
slow deg especia lyn land like Virginia where
DO litical ejudice had deep root and found so
much to thrive on. HAD AvowED THREE YEARS
AGO THAT SHOULD VOTE WITH THE REPUBLICANS
IN THE >ENATE, THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
STANDING ROOM FOR THE READJUsTER PARTY TO-
DAY. Yet when the time came for me to act IN the
Senate voted with the Republicans for the good of
the State OF Virginia. and that is what am work
ing for all the time.
There it is under his own hand and seal
He votes with the Republican party for
the good of Virginia" The party which
passed the Civil Rights bill in defiance of
the Constitution; the party that tried to
pass the Force Bill and was foiied by Sam
Randall; the party that has sent troops to
the polls in Virginia to awe the white
people. and is now asked by the Negroes
of Danville, eighteen years after the war,
to send them again. That is the party that
Gen. Malone is working with for the
''good of Virginia. And the people OF
Augusta are asked not only to endorse
Malone but to endorse bis endorsers
Messrs. Fulcher and Hamilton. They
will never do it.
