grace from any organ Of the Republican

Mahone's Petition.

The Philadelphia Times OF yesterday has
the following article:
In the midst OF oil the excitement about
The Continental yesterday two figures were
pushed through the Ninh-sireet entrance
which attracted much attention. The most
significant man OF the two was General
Malone, OF Virginia. The other was Green
II. Rsum, ex-Commissioner Of Internal
Reyei ne. Both registered and were sent
10 rooms On The first floor. Very soon
thereafter Malone was in consultation,
with Senator Don Cameron aud Raum,
with some OF Mr.. Blane's managers. The
object OF General Mahone's visit was TO
present the situation in Virginia 10 the
leaders Of the party. lie saw the candi-
date and all the leaders, and both Cameron
and Raum spoke for him. What Malone
said to all OF them may best be inferred
from what he said to the Times:
"Yes, we have good chance TO carry
the State for Blaine. One half the effort
and money spent on some northern States
put into Virginia would insure its electoral
vote to the Republican nominees. | have
never seen our people in better condition
or more determined TO win victory

Of up here is a great deal more important
than in The State. We are getting more

Money Money! Money! But he won't

TOO well the state Of things in Virginia to
be misled by General MAHOSE'S statements;
and OF the PENNSYLVANIA leaders" Mr..
JONES is the head-map. or MAHOSE's
candidates for Congress, not more than two
will lie elected, we are confident. The
First, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,
and we think we may now add the Ninth
and Tenth districts are safe for the Demo-
Gratis. And as TO the good chance the MI
boneites profess TO have for carrying Vir-
GINA for BLAINE. it is all bosh. The Demo
Gratis will carry the State by twenty, thirty,
or perhaps forty thousand majority.

Was ever such Boosting heard of? Yes.
General MALONE, in 1880, Just before the
presidential election. at which his ticket
received only $1,000 votes, signed his name
TO paper setting forth that his ticket
would carry the state. Of Virginia. The
other two tickets got respectively $4,000

Colonel FELLOWS, OF New York, who ad-
vocated CLEVELAND. TouRGEE spoke first
and at length. FELLOWS followed, and

statement that "ii the Republican party

surest method for II TO do so Is by the NOM
ination OF JAMES G.. BLAINE Tor the presi-
dency.v This was followed by the state
ment that "his disabilities as 4 candidate

Federal Interference.


The Democrats OF the whole country
may as well make up their minds that on
OF before the 4th day OF November next
they will everywhere have to submit to the
same humiistions TO which the Republican
officials have already subjected the election
officers i'm New Orleans, as shown i'm our
issue Of yesterday. Mr.. BREWSTER, the
State election-ofliccr, was arrested by those
Republican officials on an affidavit charging
him with hndering and preventing them
from free attendance at the place OF regis
tratIon OF voters in the parish OF Orleans,
and from free examination and inspection
Of the record-boOks OF such registration,
and from making true and correct lists
therefrom, and from verifying the same,
and from performing acts required OF them
as such supervisors Of election by the laws
Of the United States.
The people OF Richmond understand ex-
actly what all that means. Two years ago
some OF our election-oflicers were arrested
on a frivolous charge, and arrested, too, in
the middle OF the day OF election AMI
marched of mile or more to be sex
amined" by other Republican officials on
that frivolous charge. These election
officers TO whom we refer were receiving
votes at the precinct which gives larger
white majority than any other precinct in
the city.
Turn out the party which is responsible
for these outrages.
