ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5.

GENERAL MALONE having been deserted
nv most of his adherents of democratic an
tecedents, is left as the acknowledged head
and front of the republican party OF Vlr-
ginia. That he loves that party is proved
by his endorsement of Captain Wise's asser'
ton that Virginia republicans are apostates
for the price of their apostacy." That he
does all in his power to advance the material
welfare of those republicans in the State
who are interested in her prosperity, is
proved by his publications in the North
which, by accusing the people of Virginia
ofpolitical murder, bulldozinga and ostraclsm,
prevent settlers from coming, and disin-
cline capitalists to invest their money, with
In her borders. That he is particularly
solicitous about the preservation and the
promotion of the interests oil the many
enterprising and thrifty republicans in this
city, is proved by his assertion that Alex
andria is in grass and ruin" His removal
of all Virginia republicans from Office III
order to fill their places with democratic
scalawags, is another strong proof that his
love for the Virginia republicans surpasses
that of women. Why, course, the General
should be at the head and front OF the Nir-
ginia republicans, and of course the latter
should be proud to make obeisance to him,
and to obey his commands implicitly.

AMONG THE subsidized press of which the
Blaineites have availed themselves, and OF
which they have made republican cam
paign paper, is the weekly dynamiter, called
the Irish World, of New York, the course
of which, and of those who think like it, ac-
cording to the two distinguished Irish men,
bers of Parliament recently in this country,
and all other sensible Irishmen, has done
more to harm the Irish cause than all other
things put together. The national republi-
can committee send copies of this paper TO
every Irshman and Catholic whose address
they can obtain. Of course it is violently
opposed to Governor Cleveland, and as vio-
lently in favor of Mr.. Blaine, the ex Know
Nothing, and the man who said only q
short time ago that it provoked him to be
called Catholic. Well, to show what val
ue can be placed upon the utterances of the
paper, it is only necessary to quote the fol.
lowing extract from it's columns of 1881 X:
I'm his flunkyism to the English Govern.
ment, James G. Blaine has refused to pro.
tect American citizens whom he was bound
by every principle of law to extend protcc.
ton to. Such man has no conception OF
what is due to the honor Of the United
States, and should never again be placed in
q position where he can disgrace our Gov
arnmant,
