The Difference.

The Bristol Ne,cs says Of the candidacy
OF General WIcKBAM:
"wickham has for years been Straight
out Republican and a Republican ever
since Lees surrender"
The Democrats OF the Thirty-fourth SEN
atorial district prefer General WIcKHAN to
A. w. JONES, whose record has again been
furnished to the people Of Virginia. But
the Ne,rs well knows that not one Demo-
crat in Virginia Is expected to support
next year the Republican nominee for
President OF the United States, whilst the
MALONE party rs q party are expected to
do that very thing. General MALONE
when in New York, speaks almost
contemptuously OF the Democratic party,
and predicts that il will be defeated IN
1884 by the Republican party. He is not at
all backward in avowing bis sympathy
with the Republican party when he is IN
Republican circles, or outside OF Virginia.
The Washington Post Of yesterday says on
this point:
"If General Malone and his renegade
Democratic disciples were as willing to call
themselves Republicans in Virginia as they
are to claim fellowship with Republicans
| in Washington they would merit less con-
tempt than is their just due at this date"
Note the difference. The Democrats
| will certainly vote for the nominee OF the
next Democratic National Convention. lie
will be their candidate, and, when elected,
their President. They are known far and
near. at home and in all the other States.
as Democrats and nothing but Democrats.
They have no sympathy with the Republic
can party. The Coalitionists, or Malone
ties. on the other hand, will certainly vote
for the nominee of the next Republican
National Convention. Its candidate will
be their candidate, and, when elected,
their President They arc known to be
Republicans to all intents and purposes
but somehow they don't want to be COM
PEELED to acknowledge this fact until 1854
To sum UP in word, let us add that the
Mahoneites vote with the Republicans in
the interest OF the Republican party. The
Democrats of the Thirty-fourth senatorial
district will vote for General WICKHAM be-
cause they deem 1t best for the interests OF
the Democratic party to antagonlze the Ma
honeite nominee with him. Surely he must
be stupid who cannot perceive that the
| Virginia Democrats are in sympathy with
the national Democratic party. and striving
10 promote its interests, whilst the Malone
ties are in full sympathy with the Stalwart
Republican party.

Forewarned, Forearmed.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore american Republican, writes
to that paper as follows:
"There has been a noticeable increase in
the activity of Senator Malone, Of Viz
ginia, since the publication OF General
Wickham's letter accepting the anti-Ma-
hone nomination for the senatorship from
Hanover and Caroline counties. The wiry
little Virginlan has now gone on to New
York, but he spent several days at WASH
ington en- route. He stopped at his old head
quarters, at the Arlington, and during his
STAY had few minutes talk with many OF
those who hold Office in Washington under
his influence. This is stated on the authority
of one Of the henchmen referred to. The OBJ
ject Of these conferences is not understood
to be pecuniary. but with view to enlist
ing the very fullest efforts OF every one OF
his friends in the campaign. One OF Ma
homes best friends said to-day that the lit
tie leader had gone too far to risk defeat
now, and that there would be no stone left
unturned this summer and autumn to keep
the movement in full motion. One OF
the best friends Malone has in his political
work is the eX-commissioner OF internal
revenue, General Green b. Raum. The
Illinoisan and the Virginian are decidedly
'chummy,' and on Sunday Inst they had a
long conference at Mr.. Raum's house, on
Capitol Hill, which lasted from the middle
of the afternoon until the Senator took the
train for New York."
GREEN b. RAUM, the bitter Republican
and WILLIAM MALONE, who two years age
was a better Democrat than Ben. HILL
MALONE will leave no stone unturned in
his efforts to defeat WICKHAM. Democrats
OF Hanover and Caroline, stand by the
ti-MAHONE candidate.

BUCKINGHAM COURTHOUSE, VA., !
August I3, 1888.
To-day was County Court-day. and quite
a large crowd was in attendance, composed
of good and true Democrats, Republicans,
and Coalitionists, white and colored. The
latter, the Coalitionists, white and colored,
held District Convention and nominated
Mr.. Il. w. HUBBARD. present attorney foI
The Commonwealth, for the Senate, to sue
ceed Colonel Elliott.
Mr.. A. C.. Garnett was nominated fol
the county delegate, but when they came
to nominate a iloater for this county anc
Cumberland the delegates from Cumber'
land kicked up and claimed the nominee
from that county, and thus the prospects
OF Caesar Perkins (colored), before bright,
were nipped in the green leaf. and ms
friends were left greatly disgruntled. II
is supposed that Cumberland can furnish
no better man for the place than Shed
Dungee.
Mr.. William ellis died a few days since
at the advanced age OF ninety-three years
His whole life was one Of the highest IN
tegi ity aud the strictest honor. The name
of Buck ellis was the synonym for all thai
is good and true, and will not be forgotten
The Democrats are on the alert. They
will soon have their candidates in the field
for both the House and Senate, and viii
contest the Coalitionists at every point.
| omitted to mention that a party, who
WAS said TO he from New Kent county,
named Walden, harangued the colored and
white Malone men for a short while, but
he signally failed to get the ear OF his audi.
ence for any length OF time. Things ala
not seem to be so very cordial or happy
amongst that party, and they gained no.
thing by the days work.
