Nahone's Dying Appeal.

people, is the appeal which Malone
makes to bis party. Smartlog under

that be has degraded himself by the
silly Boosting of victory, in which he
il duleed even to the day OF the cleo
ton. be atteupt by number OF false
charges against the people Of Virginia
to account for the disastrous defeat
which has scattered his party and de-
graded him as a party leader. The old,
worn out stories about kuklux and
Southern outrages, IN which the carpet
bascers INDUCED while seeking to de-
spoil the people of the South, are re-
yiyed b, this would be leader OF de.
fea.ed party. He attempts TO make
the people OF the country believe that
Viroinlans are cold bloOded murderers
and that the late election was carried
by murder, fraud and intimidation. lie
Knows. as well as every VirginlaD
knows, that his charges are "ithou'
foundation, He knows that every
partisan of his had tie privilege Of
walking TO the polls uumolesled and
that lie could vote as he pleased. lie
knows uat at lis own precinct tie
election vas conducted quietly unsl he

armed with pistols, and he lnt'rlered
with a negro who desired 10 vote the
Democratic ticket, and that it vas
Democrat, who bad not spoken TO him
FOR a year, that protected his person
from the punishment thar bis bad con-
duet was about bringing upon him. de
knows full we'll that the only class that
we've subjects Of intimidation were the
negroes who desired to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket; that these negroes were
threatened By coalition negroes and
that 10 some cases they we're stoned
upon the pubic streets Of our cities.
He knows that bis party had thier full
strength at the polls, with the excep-
ton of the city Of Danville, and that
there they were kept away by his own
agents for the purpose Of making capl-
1al cf The fact that they did no. vote, or
Of oustiug fairly elected Democrats if
the Mahoneltes had con tlnued 10 hold
the power in the General Assembly.
TIE truth is they voted every man
at vas willing to vote with them,
aud that they were Overwhelmingly
defeated because The people were dis
gusted with the corruption and "boss-
ism" OF their parry.
This appeal while addressed 10 bis
party in Virginia is intended as an ap'
peal TO the Republican party OF the
country. In 1t be mauiEestly Cffers
himself as the ignoble instrument to
befoul and SANDER the people of bis
own State 10 order TO advance the in
terests Of tie Republican party. He
evidently asks for an alliance with
item. L: is natural that he, the great
est en- envy Of Virginia, should appeal
to the greatest enemies Of Virginia for
consolation and assistance in the hour
of bis disastrous defeat and humlia-
ton. His address to his party is an
appeal 10 the Republican party to re-
ceive him and place him 10 the posl
ton Of the bearer Of tie bloody shirt
and the retailer of foul ISLANDERS against
his own kith and kin.
Malone grows pathetic over the
wrongs Of The negroes. We can we'll lm.
aolne.lhat bis heart is bursting when he
becomes conscious of the fact that thous-
ands of the negroes Of Virginia refuscto
vote with him. The relations between
the whites and negroes were never more
pleasant than they we're for the last
few years. The carpet baggers who had
taken advantage of the negroes iguor-

State, and they as a class were pros
