ANOTHER ONE of General Alahone's old
wheel horses, Mr.. Edgar Allen, better
known as Yankee Allen, whose voice has
been heard iu most of the counties Of the
State, has Withdrawn his support from him,
for the very good reason that as a free white
man he can not submit to boss rule, espe-
cially when the boss is such man as Ma
hone. If the Virginia republicans exert
their full strength for their own electoral
ticket next November, they will poll such a
large vote that the republicans Of the other
States Will be dsabused of the idea, impress
ed upon them by General Malone, that Vir-
ginia republicans are apostates for the price
of their apostacy.

an expression of esteem and confidence,

ONE OF the many unfounded reports ailoa'

ONE OF the many unfounded reports aiioa'
now about American citizens OF irish oirth'
and the course they are to take at the next
Presidential election, is 10 the effect that
Mrs Parnell, the mother Of the Irish asl'a-
tor and a number of Irish Catholic dlgnl'
:, rios have had conference at Boston, ana
determined that the Irish Catholic vote OIL
this country shall be cast for That party
which snail bind itself to support tar'f'
that shall admit articles exclusively OF lrisn
manufacture free of duty. Mrs. Parnell ana
Irish Catholic dignitaries have too mucp
sense to be holding conferences on any poh1'
ical question, but, if otherwise, Irish Catho'
lie voters have too much sense to be
influenced by any thing they might 40
Then, too, Mrs. Parnell, Irish Catholic Dig
nitaries, and all sensible Irish Ca'ho''c VOTERS
know that as the democratic party Is 10"
tariff party and the republican party the
reverse, the former would support tarlll
that would admit free of duty goods OF irish
manufacture, utterly irrespective OF the way
the Irish Catholic vote may be cast.

No matter how friendly General Butler
may be to the republicans, that General
West, of Mississippi, who is on the ticket
with him, has no such feelings toward them
may be readily inferred from the fact that
in his letter of acceptance be says he is in
favor of the co-equality Of the States and
opposed to the present unjust and deceptive
system of taxation" But why should any
democrat 60 out of his party to vote for a
man with such ideas, when they are con-
tanned in his party's platform? A remark
able thug about the democratic platform is
that whilei includes all the good, it eschews
all the bad ideas of the platforms of all the
other parties.
