calling out the local militia for public pro-
lection.
MAHeNE's ADDRESS to the "ReadJ Juster
party OF Virginia" made it's appearance, in |
this mornings papers, but instead Of being
q document designed for local effect, It is
really an appeal to the Republican party Of
the country, and the present federal ad-
ministratlon for aid and encouragement.
He declares that his recent defeat In Vir-
ginia was due to fraud, deception and vio-
lence on the part of the "Bourbon" Demo-
Gratis, coupled with race agitation and the
use Of large corruption fund, and closes
with the following significant paragraph:
1.-THE struggle against Bourbonism is to be
renewed forthwith and to the death, and, as
your chairman, l call upon every loyal
Readjuster In Virginia to rally to the stand
ard and reform to fight new battle
against their old Bourbon foe in
the National campaign of 1891.
Bearing in mind the old watchword
of a free ballot and fair count,
we have right to demand and expect sup.
port from the State, AID II need be, from the
Federal Government, in behalf of the rights
of man, guaranteed by both governments,
and put at stake to secure the ascepdency
of an unscrupulous party that sticks at
nothing to acquire power" 1t Is clearly evil
dent that Malone hopes to draw the color
line strictly In every Southern State In tn.
next election, and secure success, through
Federal Intervention, in Virginia, South
Carolina, Louisiana and Florida. There is
no fear, however, of such a SCENE succeed
ing, as it would result in the restoration of
the odious earpet-bag government in these
States, a responsibility which even the Re.
publican party would not care to burden
itself With an exciting National campaign

THE NEW TIME SYSTEM went into effect

the decision of the Attorney General an ac
of Congress will be necessary to place then
on an equality with the public. The posta
service outside of The Department prope
adopts the new time. This was rendere
necessary in order to agres with tn
railroads and secure promp
dispatch of the mails. In Wilmington til
change is SO slight, only forty seconds
that it makes very little difference whethe
people alter their time pieces or not.
THE Ne0s, this morning, appeared in
new shape-with eight columns, twelve an
a half plea ems in width to the page, ,iustea
of seven columns, fourteen ems in width,
heretofore. In our opinion the Ne,os,
this change, has transformed itself from Il

this measure o. i-convenient as the GAzET
long since did, 1t will bitterly regret t
charge. The standard newspaper measu

long thought of increasing the columns

intention into effect at no distant day.
