IS MALONE THE FRIEND OF woRKINGMEN

One would suppose, if he did not know
the untruthful source from whence comes
the arrogant assumption, that Malone has
always been the special champion of the
workingman. Let Us examine this hypo'
critical, this hollow claim:
Was Malone friend to the Workingman
when he posted in his office at Petersburg
this notice, ANY employee who demands
his wages, may consider himself discharg-
ed ?"
Was he the friend of the workingman
when he discharged one of his employees
on the railroad who asked for money with
which to bury his dead child?
Was he the friend of the workingman
when he failed to pay the employees on the
consolidated railroad for nearly eight
months, thereby causing untold misery and
great distress?
Was he the friend Of the workingman
when he introduced the store.order system
by which the faithful laborer was robbed out
of his honest earnings?
Was he the friend of the laboring man
when he attempted to make combination
to buy up the accounts of honest workmen,
which he had failed to pay, at q ruinous dis
count2
Was he the friend OF the working man
when he sold to his laborers rotten meat
and inferior flour at prices greatly above
the market prices for good provisions?
Was he the friend of the workingman
when he drew his $4,000 salary, rode up
and down the road in his special coach and
witnessed, with perfect composure, the grim
and haggard faces of his employees whom
he had by mismanagement reduced TO the
verge Of starvation?
Was he the friend of the work ingman
when he asserted that one dollar was ample
pay for the days work of laboring man
Was he the friend of the workngman
when he issued fictitious or valucless stock
to induce men to work on bis central organ,
the Wing, and when they discovered the
cheat and demanded regular wages were
discharged, and rats, or cheap workmeu,
put in their places?
II, workingmen of Virginia, you can dis
cover in none of these acts, embracing a
period of many years, when Malone was
president Of the Norfolk and Petersburg
and subsequently the Consolidated rail-
road, where he had great opportunities
for benelitting the workingman and
failed to do it, will you tell US when or
where he has done anything to show his
gushing love, so recently expressed, for the
men VINO earn thelr Dread ID inc sweat OIL
their faces?
Was it when the Blair bill, which would
have added 5000, 900 per annum to the pub
lie schools of Virginia, which would have
greatly aided our schools, passed the Sen
ate and Malone failed to record his vote
for it?
Was it when Malone voted for the intro
duction OF the rat-eating Chinese mechanics
In to fhn IIpitpd Stotpc who ooDl1 w0rk for
one-tenth of the wages upon which the
American workingman could support his
family and himself?
The above is Mahone's record in favor Of
the workingman. We challenge denial of
The statements.
Is there workingman who would vote
Tor Malone or Wise, his candidate and sub.
servient tool, under these circumstances
If so, he deserves to be labelled as the
grovelling slave of this petty boss for all
time to come-DanriHe Re1istcr

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER p.
GENERAL MAHoNE has been yer!

GENERAL MALONE has been very
>slv in his present campaign, but not
.slv enough to conceal the knowledge
of the fact that all the time his JACK
man have been writing and speaking
ia the effort to divide the white vote by ar.
ravipg class against class, he has been Sc
cretly engaged in banding together the COZ.
ored neople 80 as to make them cast soilu
vote for him next Tuesday. He has them
organized by tens, ffties and hundreds
under respective captains, who hold COM
missions, signed by himself, which they
: prize as highly as white man "ouiu
one that was really of some value, ana WHO
DISPLAY the badges of Office ne senus .nen
with as much pride as if they were TOKENS
of we'll merited honor. His colored organi-
cation is more thorough, of course, In Tue
"bIack belt" but it exists, more or less per-
feet. even in the strongest white counties;
and it is that organization which the people
of the State have to fear. With one hun
dred and twenty thousand negro voters
whom Mr.. Wise says he will get, and from
whom General Malone says he can get all
the majority no wants if he can only divide
the white vote-csst solidly against them,
the white people of the State can't afford TO
lose many of their own race; and IL mas
therefore become matter of the highest
Importance that every white Virginian, no
matter where born or what his national pol
itics may be, should not only vote the anti
Malone ticket, but see that his next door
neishbor does the same.

It is agreed on al hands that Wise will

Wise has made in all public places he has
filed. The reports do not agree IS "a

denies the statement and says that the re-
port probably grew out OF the fact that
they are Systsmatizing and lessening the

with any smaller force, as all tho time and
labor saved must be put on the sccuma-
lated work.
