Maj James Devine, Grand Lecturer of
the Coco Templars of Virginia, who has
| Just returned from an extensive tour of
the Southwestern counties says, ''the half
| has not been told about the detection among
the Malone party in that section of the
State" He says preachers told him that
they noticed the change in their congre-
cations; and tavern keepers. that they OBJ
served it among their guests.
! Mr.. Robert Boiling, Of Petersburg, one
of the old-time Virginia Republicans, at
| tributes the recent Republican defeats in
great part to the Infamous bargain that
exists between Arthur and Malone, and
says there is no politics in Mahoneism,
and that such condi ion of affairs as Ma
hone has produced in Virginia would be
tolerated in no other State in the Union.
| Mr.. Boiling is the father of Mr.. Stuart
Boiling, an esteemed citizen of Augusta
county.
The Straight-out- Republican organiza-
tion of Virginia, Hon. Jno. F. Dezendorf.
Chairman, which the Coalitlonists treated
with such contempt at the opening of the

Is it reasonable to suppose that such gentlemen,
! [Messrs Fulcher and Hamiltonl, with their family
business and social relations, would favor mixed
! schools. or any other policy that would initiate
against the public welfare or dis turb the peace of
community Valley Vargiaian.
| Was it. reasonable" would anybody
have believed it four years ago that Messrs.
Fulcher and Hamilton with their family,
business, and social relations, would have
heartily endorsed putting ignorant Ne
| groes on the white school boards? Does
anybody undertake to say that this action
does not disturb the peace Of community
| that it has not disturbed it, that if the
plan had been further carried out in this
Valley and in this county of Augusta, it
would not have disturbed the peace Of the
community to the extent of shaking the
very foundations of the school system?
Did any Democratic Readjuster who sup
| ported tn Malone programme for the set
Element of the State debt expect such an
outcome from it as Negroes on the school
| boardsp Was that a part of the debt set
| Element? They were cajoled into accept
Ing Negro officers of the legislature in
| place of white men on the plea that that
was necessary to secure the colOred vote
| to complete the readjustment of the debt.
| But these Negro trustees came after the
debt was settled. They were appointed to
make a cohesave Republican party IN Vir-
| ginia; not for the settlement of the debt.
! Is it reasonable to suppose that any
| Democratic Readjuster of Middle River,
or south River. or any township in Au-
gusta, ever expected to have to sit on
| school boards with the blacks and have
them take hand at supervising the edu
cation of his children ? The African trus
| tee did "militate against the public wei
| fare" and party welfare as we'll: 1t was
the first thing that gave the people an idea
of the desperate men that we're leading
| the Coalition, and al anxiety a; to where
they were leading. 1t so initiated against
the public welfare that no more have been
appointed and won't he until after the
November election. MessrS. Fulcher and
Hamilton may endorse Governor Cameron
and Attorney General Blair in appointing
African trustees, but the People of Au
gusta aUuI neUer endorse Messrs. Fulcher
and Hamilton. You may set that down
as certain. They are not charged with ia
voring mixed tchools; they are charged
with favorlng mixed school boards, with
endorsing the first step towards the de-
struct ion of the public school system of
Virginia.
The Republican press throughout the country, az
ter an analysis of the leading to the Ohio de
feat seem to regard it as blessing in Disguise
