The Republicans are exhibiting the
invariable sign Of despair. In every
Presidential contest when the drift Of
popular sentiment seemed against
them, and the country showed a de-
cided disposition to Oust them from
from power. they would resort to the
tactics Of alarming the people with
scarecrOws and gOblins, by picturinf,
the calamltics that must follow n Dem
Ocratic rule. They arc resOrtinQ to
these tactics now. Usually they leave
them till the closing days Of the canvass.
but the drift Of popular opinion is so
clearly against them that, although the
canvass is hardly bcgun they arc al
ready brandishing their scarecrOws, and

The End or Mahoneism.

Malone, who has been trying in va
rious ways during the past several
years 10 saddle the Old Dominion with
Republican corruption, is said TO be i'm
deep trouble. He was Arthur's chief
reliance at Chicago, but, as Arthur was
not nominated, he has little or no uso
for Malone, consequently the fidgety
little politician has about come TO the
end Of his row ~ q person of influence.
Lately, ho has almost dropped out Of
public notice. but he il still engaged.
by every trick and device known TO
the politician, 10 regain his hold on the
white voters Of Virginia.
That he will fail goes without saving,
for while there are many honest men
i'm that State who can be deceived by
Malone rs 10 the propriety OF paying
debt, there is no honest Virginlan who
can be deceived as TO the difference be-
tween Democrat and Republican.
When Malone went into the Repub-
lican camp with the expe tation Of
carrying with him any important part
Of the white vote that had acted with
in the Readiuster campaigns, he made
mistake that is often made by the
over confident corruptionist. Tho
white voters Of Virginia, no matter
how furiously they opposed the Demo
cratic party on questions OF State
finance have never had the remufest
idea nor intention Of turning their
State Government over 10 the Repub-
lican party The difficulty with Vir-
ginia is that 10 has never bad TO pass
through the thrOes Of reconstruction.
It's little experience with Malone. how
ever, has been a tolcrably dear lesson.
and there is no danger that Republican
ism will ever obtain a foothOld thero
again, even by proxy.
Malone, however, as might be sup
posed Is not happy lie Is friskmg
around like u stray icc. smelling of
every man. breeches-lcgs, and running
hither and yOn like one distracted lie
has just issued n circular letter marked
private and confidential TO mum
Der Of those who acted with him in the
Readjuster campaigns The circular,
which is quoted iu the Norfolk a4tu-
ctH, states that Malone has been de-
serted by Cameron, Riddleberger.

necessity Of y closer alliance between
old members Of the Beadiust party.
as otherwise. SAYS Malone, we shall
lose The patronage which we have en-
iOyed during the past several wears. AN
OF which would slip through our hands
into those of the Republicans
Certainly this is sad. The "patron-
age is the thing. IL was for the pat
rOnage that Malone appeared as a
I Readiuster. 10 was for the patronage
I that he sold out To- the Republicans in

The Cabinet Story.

We hardly credit the story, however
well il may seem To- be authenticated.
that Butler has been offered seat i'm
the Blaine Cabinet, provided he will
pull of his coat and help TO make n
Blaine Cabinet possible. Butler has
been guilty Of such colossal blundcrs.
recently he has reached such sublim
ity OF stupidity that there Is hardly any
thing in this line that might not be cred
tied 20 him. But we should suppose
that the very habit of his life, 10 saw
nothing Of his experience and natural
suspiCiousness, would defend him
against tho subtle bargains that Blaine
Is accustomed 10 make in advance of
fa"ors only % repudiate them after their
benefits have been cnioyed. Senator
COnkllng and others learned 10 their
lasting disgust, four years ago. that IL
was risky 10 place any confidence in the
promises of Presidential candidates i'm a
