Whose the Victory?"

Whose the victory
Here Is the evidence. and from WILLIAM
MALONE himself. The Petersburg Maj
g,yes the following extract from a circular
which was before the late elections seat
tered by thousands throughout the county
Of Greensyillc. 1t was addressed TO Gre
adiuster.C Coalition voters" The fourth
section OF that circular follows:
Nv. That the support Of any other ticket
or any other candidates for either OF the
Offices named, no matter by what pretence,
or what the false pretensions, Is to support
n Bourbon Democratic Funder, ana the ke-
ad,uster Coalitionist who asserts that there
Ia no politics In the selection OF county
officers, and that the debt Is settled, ana
therefore there Is not any longer occasion
for keeping up the Rcadjuster-Coaltion
party, Is false pretender--a mere nire1ng
apdtool OF the Bourbon Democratic Funder
party. He merely repeats the language oil
the leaders OF that party and the newspaper
organs industriously employed IN counties
where they are in the minority, While III
every county where they have the majority
and power 10 elect their candidates, none
hut Bourbon-Funder Democrats are nomi-
mated for county offices, while NJ all the
past where they have had the power none
but partisans OF their patty have been pun

lists in this county, who are true and VINO
have been purchased with Bourbon-F undei
money, by making this canvass hot all Inc
while. You have the power to elect yom

Read that section carefully and you will
see that il does not refer merely TO the cleo
lions In one county but 10 those about to
be held in all the counties. The Coalition
list who asserts that there is no politics in
the selection OF county officers = might OF
course be found in any county. The man
was TO be found not in Greensville only
but in every county in the State who sa'd
that "the debt was settled" and that
"there was therefore no longer any use Tor
the Readjuster party" The reader per-
ceiyes at once that this circular taught the
doctrines which were taught all over the
Commonwealth up to and including cleo
ton day. In fact, the language OF this cir
cular proves upon the testimony OF Will
LIAM MALONE himself that so FAR as they
could the Coalitionists made the recent
elections turn upon party Considerations.
But where is General MAHoNE's testi-
monyy Here it is. 1t was appended to
the above circular:
The undersigned endorse the ticket and
candidates as above named rs the only
ticket and candidates recognized by us,
and urge the support OF the same upon all
loyal members OF the Coalition party I'D
Greensville county.
WILLIAM MALONE.
Chairman Readiuster State Committee;
JAMES ID. BRADY,
Chairman Republican State Committee.
II the game were worth the candle, it
would be easy TO add to the above any
amount OF articles and documents from
Coalition organs and leaders going to show
that they employed all the means at their
disposal in the vain effort to secure posses
sion Of the county offices in every county
wherein they had strength enough to JUS
tify them in making such contest.
