The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-08-15
GcnersI Malone a Republican.


In New York city. on Monday, General
MALONE was interviewed by Tribune re-
porter. AS we have said once before, Gen.
eral MALONE never allows himself TO be
interviewed unless he has something to
say which he wishes the newspapers to
publish. Now, read:
81 don't care who the Democrats may
bring to the front; they Will be beaten In
the canvass OF 1884," said Senator Malone.
"The Republicans may be disposed to
wranglc among themselves for the moment,
but In 1884 they will be united party, and
will be successful"
"Who will be the possible candidates OF
the respective partiesS"
alt Is hard to tell now. Blaine and Lo-
gan I hear mentioned on the part OF the
Republicans, although Arthur II as popular
down my way az any man know. as for
the Democrats, hear no name In particu.
lar. The southern Democrats seem to
want anybody to beat Grant. even were he
Blaine"
"How Is Arthur's Administration regard
ed in the South 7"
"With great satisfaction. Arthur has
| done more to eliminate the sectional prelu-
] dices existing between the North and south
than any other man since the war. The
reason seems to lie mostly in his appoint
ments 10 Office and the aid given him by
Congress. Arthur has met great difficult
ties, and has horne himself well. Virginia
would consider it q blessing to have Ar
thur continued in the administration OF
the Government"
"What will be the issue in the next
campaign"
1.-THE tariff first and last The Republic
cans will stand firm for protection, and VIII
be successful, / have no doubt. The Senate
is for prote elton. There are thirty-eight
Republicans, thirty-six Democrats, and two
Readjusters. The Readiusters are for pro-
lection, and so are all OF the Republicans,
with possibly one or two exceptions at the
furthest. The Republicans also have the
veto OF the President. II manufacturers
and merchants stopped to consider for a
moment this fact, as i look at it, there
could be no doubt Of the security OF our
present tariff. The South is growing more
in favor Of protection every year. Viz
gina is above all protective State"
General MALONE compliments Mr.. AR
THUR, but, much to the surprise OF some
people no doubt, intimates that BLAINE Is
leading candidate, and OF course he would
support him. Said we not that BLAINE
could unite the two wings OF the Republic
can partyy And now here is General
MALONE saying the same thing In effect
in mentioning BLAINE first as a leading
aspirant to the presidency and saying at
the same time that the Republican nomi-
nee will be elected next year. The white
Virginia Republicans need not leave Gene
raj MALONE; for he will support BLAINE.
That is possibly the meaning.
There is no pretence on General Ma
HOMES part that anybody has right to
doubt that he will support BLAINE, LOGAN,
ARTHUR, or any other Republican who may
be nominated for President next year.
"The Democrats" he speaks OF slight
ingly. - don't care who the Democrats
may bring to the 'front.'" said the General.
The Democrats are warned that the tariff
will be the issue IN the next presidential
election. All right. Virginia has pre-
pared for it. Read her tariff resolution.
But you, We Democrats Of Virginia. Do
you need any more evidence to convince
you that General MALONE is Republican Z
