No REPUTABLE white man and hardly al
intelligent negro could continue his support
of the Malone party if he would only real
lie the fact that that party, according to its
own confession, has no political principles
different from those of the democratic party,
aud that it only opposes the latter in order
TO perpetuate the power of General Malone,
and to retain the Offices its members now
hold and get more for others;and worse than
all, and what no political organization ever
did before. that it boldly offers itself for sale
to the highest bidder, and says it will sup
port any national administration that shall
give it the most assistance and that, too,
no matter what the principles or policy of
that administration may be, and finally that
it only supports the present administration
because that administration supports 1t. and
that 1t will withdraw liz support from Pres
dent Arthur as soon as be shall fail TO sup.
port General Malone. In other words, it
has the to effrontery acknowledge itself
to be HeSsian organization, which, casting
aside all principle and honor, fights for the
party that promises it the most plumber
General Malone says be has one hundred
thousand negroes from whom he can get
any majority, he wants and that is 80; but
while he is the undoubted master of that
number ofignorant coored men, it is almost
Impossible that any self-respectiug intelli
gent man, black or white, who correctly un
derstands what Mahoneism is.wll allow his
vote to be auctioned of before his eyes
not for the benefit of his State or country
but solely for the personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

other sort Of character, prohibits respect, il

characterize it mildly thus This
dead Congress has had no parallel in
the history Of the country. It will
have no successor like unto it. The
Senate obtained Republican majority
by disgraceful bargain with Malone

tracts. The House began by q trade
between Robson aud Keifer. bv which
the control Of the legislation was
placed at the mercy Of the most cor
