The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-08-28
The Coalitionists are Republicans.


II appears from the reports OF their
speeches which are given to the public
that some OF the Coalition stumpers still
throw ont 10 their audiences the suggestion
or hint that General MALONE is not Re-
publican, nor pledged To support next
year the Republican nominee for Presi-
den, OF the United States. Judge RHEA,
however. headed OF this attempt at decep-
ton by asking all persons in his audience
at Marion, Smyth county, last Monday,
TO hold up their hands II they be-
lieved that General MALONE was any
thing else than a Republican under
Obligations to vote the Republican
ticket in 1894. Not one man held up
hand. Nevertheless, there are undoubt-
edly some Democrats still left In the Coali-
ton ranks in the western and southwest
ern parts OF the State who honestly hold
that General MALONE is Democrat In ma
tional politics, and will support the Demo-
cratic nominee for President OF the United
States in 1884 as he supported HANCOCK in
$780, TO all such. and TO Democratic
Summers, we commend the following par
agraphs. They appeared in the Washing
ton Republican, the MALONE organ at the
national capital, some time ago. They
bear the ear-marks OF GEORGE GoRHAM, the
MALONE candidate for Secretary Of the
United states Senate. The article is long
one. and we reproduce only two OF its par
agraphs. Read them:
"The masses OF the Republican larty
should not be deceived by the, rivers OF
falsehood and abuse OF Malone which flow
from the journalistic sewers, The gates OF
which are controlled by Mr.. Blaine. The
sole question Is Uhether the Democratic
pdrty shall or shall not hare the electoral
cote of Virginia an 1884. Mr.. BLAINE AND
HIS ORGANS SAY THEY SHALL! The open
declaration OF Mr.. Blaine for the Bourbon
ticket last fall was in behalf OF the ten
Bourbon candidates for Congress. He
falsely designated the Readiusters as "a
wing OF the Democratic party 1t
would be creditable to Mr. Blaine IL his
relations with the Democratic party were
known TO be ps permanently unfriendy as
General Mahone's. Whatever else NAV
occur. the Democratic party will never have
any support, aid, OF encouragement at the
hands OF Malone. IL is because that fact
is well known to the Democracy that their
wrath toward him Is so hot and undated,
and Mr.. Blaine, who seems 10 be in their
secrets. knows it rs well as they do.
1.-The Coalition committees in Virginia
are really but one in thought and purpose.
Virginia will cast her twelve electoral votes
for the Republican candidate for President
in 1881 il our National Convention nOmi-
mates candidate who does not prefer VIZ
ginia BOurbons to their only antagonists,
and treats the latter as political friends and
worthy associates"
The above are the views OF an editor
whose paper was recommended to the sup
port Of the Roadiusters Of Virginia by
General MALONE himself. Now note what
that editor says above:
First. That Mr.. BLAINE and his organs |
say that the Democratic party shall have
fhe vote OF Virginia next year.
Secondly. That Mr.. BLAINE designated |
the Readiusters as ga wing of the Demo-
cratic party" But this, says the Repabli-
can, is a ialsehood. They are, therefore,
GoRHAM being judge, not wing OF the |
Democratic party. What says Mr.. BLAIR
Thirdly. That Mr.. BLAINE is better |
Democrat than General MALONE; or, as the |
Republican phrases 1t. at would be credi-
table TO Mr.. BLAINE il his relations with |
the Democratic party were k,,O,cn TO be as
permanently mfriendiy as General Ma
homes That is, General MALONE is
known to be, not temporarily but "perma-
.nentlp" unfricndly to the Democratic
party. MALONE has abandoned the Demo-
eraiic Iarty for good.
Fourthly. That "whatever else may oc-
cur. the Democratic party will NEVER |
have any support, aid. or encouragement
from General Mahone."
Filthy. That the Coalition committees
in Virginia are really but one in thought
and purpose, and that Virginia will cast
her vote for the Republican candidate for
President next year.
And yet General MALONE is the man
who was a better Democrat than Ben. HILL
in March, 1891, and the man who, Gov
ernor CAMERON said in the fall OF the same
year, had cast in effect but one Tor two
votes with the Republicans in the United
