More Proof.

That General MALONE is RepuDhcan
10 all intents and purposes nobody ought
10 DENY. The fact is established by too
many proofs TO be successfully denied.
We shall give one more proof A gentle
man In Pittsylvania county sends us two
circulars which were handed TO him by a
postmaster 10 whom they had been sent by
mail. The one is marked personal" and
headed "The National Republican, Wash
lngion, u. c., Frank Ilatton, editor-in-
chief" FRANK HATToN is an Assistant
ostmaster-General, and Is using his Off
cial influence in behalf OF a party and a
party organ when he sends these circulars
TO the posimasters throughout the land, a.
he has done. This party organ is also the
MALONE organ in Washington. IL is al
ready engaged in preparing for the cam
paign for the election Of Republican
President OF the United States next year.
The circular before us begins as follows:
"THE CAMPAIGN OF 1SSi.-Dear Sir
We desire 10 call your attention to the
importance OF early and energetic work on
the part Of every Republican preparatory
10 the presidential contest Of next year.
No better work can be done than the dis
semination OF good political reading. We
desire TO especially call your attention to
the importance OF building up and sustain
ing a strong Republican paper at the na-
tional capital. The National Repubhcdn,
under its present management. Is aiming
TO supply that want
The other circular is also headed 1.-THE
National Republican, Washington, ID. Co.
and recommends to the Republican and
Rcadjuster voters OF Virginia this same pa
per which appeals 10 these voters in behalf
Of the Republican campaign OF 1891. Gen
eral MALONE and j. ID. BRADY signed il.
IL pretends to commend the National Re
publican because it will "properly in
struct" the voters as to the debt and other
local questions.
Accompanying Mr.. HATTON's circular
was a blank form on which were TO be
written (and returned TO Assistant Post
master G encral HATTON's agent the name
OF the postmaster, and the names OF all
news or book-dealerS; also, those OF
:" three or more good Republicans who
could be asked to solicit subscriptions for
Weekly or for Daily; and also those Of
1.-TWO or more good, intelligent Republic
cans" to furnish local news; and finally
the names Of good, active, reading Re-
pubIicans, or others, likely to desire the
weekly, who would read and probably
subscribe therefor If sample copies were
sent them" On the back is the following
certificate
- TO the National Republican,:
"The names given in the accompanying
list | can recommend TO you rs lidely to be
OF aid to your paper.
"Nery truly"
Fine business for Mr.. HATTON, Assistant
POStmastcr-General. TO be engaged in. But
does the reader guess what is concealed
under Mr.. IIATTON's words, Sample
Copies? \ statement that the men
named would be likely to subscribe for the
paper il Example copies " were sent them
would of course be converted by Mr.. HAT
ron into call for "Sample copies" and
e sample copies " can be sent at the rate Of
wo cents pound Cheap Republican
literature indeed
These Republicans are General MAHoNE's |
lilies. Is he not as truly Republican as
