WASHINGTON, 3. O., July 2G.-The vi,
glnia press has Just brought out the speecl
Of Senator Malone in opening the Blaln
and Logan Campaign in that State, the frs
ol the present week. After a few intro
ductory remarks, which wers not Of gen
eral interest, Mr.. Malone said: "Wher
partisan excesses overstep the bounds pre-
scribed for the government Of organizet
society and delegated trust ia misused t.
sbfidse the rights and liberties of the peo
pie, the issue must be met by men who
know their rights and dare maintain
them. True It Ia that the election IN
which you are about to participate does moi
comprehend an organization on State ques

the Bourbon party rests the respous bllity
for the sactionalism that has brought
nipon you, as cll,zens Of Virginia, q
degrea o. decay and retrogression.
This is verified by the fact that our
State, once the foremost, Is now the I'll.

Now l recur to the administration Of your
domestic sFairs to attest the correctness Of
this declaration. Shall I remind you tha.

CONDITION OF THE STATE.
The SPEAKER briefly reviewed the con.
dillon OF the State, and iis various interests
prior to 1879. and stated that the overthrow
Of the party in 1883 had been brought
about not by the exercise OF judgment and
and sound discretion (else why were faith.
ful SCENTS turned out TO make room for
those who had sbused every trust confined
in them), but by methods which, ia his
judgment. were disgrace to the men who
employed them. Those methods, be said,
in the predetermined maEsacre OF your
people. The false and vicious Danville
circular was distributed from Democratic
headq q1artets and was foretold as q thing
TO happen, as final result Of the methoos
used 10 overthrow the judgment Of q tree
people. -s.,.-s :-,,--r,s,

"But," the speaker continued, "there arc
other considerations which should direct
