New YORK Rebukes Malone.


We we're pleased to read in the New
York Times of yesterday that the adj
dress Of the New York Republican
State Committee to the people OF that
State leaves out the bloody shirt alto
gether. This is indeed good news.
Every patriot must rejoice that SHEER
MAN, MALONE, FORAKER, and WISE
have been thus rebuked for their ap-
peals to base sectional prejudices. The
Times says:
This does not agree with the mar
row partisan Republican notion that
Judge Foraker was elected in Ohio by
the men who believed Senator Sher-
mans doctrine that the chief issue
there was the conduct Of the Democrats
in the South toward the colored men.
Nor does it encourage the intensely silly
talk of those journals which would
have the nomination Of judges deter
mined by the views Of the nomi-
nees as to Mr.. Sherman's southern
policy. Unquestionably the COM
mittee is as sound as the mere
bide-bound partisans are foolish.
The committee states with substantial
correctness the real issues in New York.
Apart from every other consideration,
what earthly sense is there in rejecting
in advance the support Of the men who
agree with the present Republican posi-
ton as to practical administration in
this State, and do not agree with the
past Republican position as to the
southern question? There is clearly,
on the latter point, room for difference
of opinion which there is no use in
arousing, and which has nothing to
do with the right or the wrong of the
policy of Republicans or Democrats
as to the South. There are thousands
Of voters in the State who admit that
there is great injustice done the blacks
by the Democracy in the South, but
who hold that the Republicans when in
power failed to remedy it, though it
was then far worse than now, and who
have no inclination to give them power
again to try over the experiments in
which they were so unsuccessful.
That is encouraging. The most note
worthy feature of the Times's comment
is its reference to New York Republic
cans who will not support the Republi-
can candidates upon a platform de-
nouncing the southern people. Yes,
there are some Republicans in New
York who will not be a party to the
waving of the bloody shirt-enough of
them, it would seem, to make it worth
while for the malignant leaders to say
in their address nothing about bull
doing, ballot-box stufling, or cutting
down southern representation.
Well done for the Empire State.

A Question Answered.

FARMvILLE, VA, October 10Th.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Will you kindly answer the follow
ing question:
A voter removes from one district to
another ten days before the election--in
what district is he entitled to vote ?
An early answer will greatly oblige.
Respectfully,
b. W. L. BLANTON,
Chairman Democratic party of Cumber-
land county.
ANSWER.
The latest law is the following act,
approved November 90, 1884, in rela-
ton to transfers:
BE At enacted by tie General Assem-.
bly, Of Virginia, That section ii Of
chapter 7 of the Code of 1873 be
amended and reenacted so as to read as
follows:
Sll. Whenever a registered voter
changes his place Of residence from one
voting-precinct to another, it shall be
lawful for him to apply for, in person
or in writing, and it shall be the duty
of the registrar Of his former voting
precinct, at any time, to furnish a GER
tifcate that he was duly registered,
and that his name has, since his re-
moval, been erased from the registra-
tion-books of said voting-preclnct,
which shall be sufficient evidence to
entitle him to register, and the name of
every such person shall be entered upon
the Iegistration-book of the voting
place to which he has removed
by the registrar at any time, or
by one OF the judges on the
day of election and no voter who has
been heretofore registered at any voting
place in this State shall be entitled to
register at any other voting-place, I'M
less he shall deliver to the registering
officer at the precinct at which he offers
to register said certificate, or otherwise
show to the satisfaction of said officer
that his name has been erased from the
books of the precinct in which he was
last registered provided, that in cities
and towns containing over two thousand

ton in such cities and towns.
The voter must have resided in the
county, city, or town, in which he Of
fers TO vote three months next pre-
ceding the election; otherwise he can
not vote at all. But if he has resided
three months next preceding the cleo
ton in the county, city, or town, In
which he offers to vote, it is not neces'
sary for him to have so resided in any
particular election district in sale
county, city, or town, but he may ii
the case supposed procure transfer a
provided above, and that transfer will
entitle him under the above law tC
register even on election-day, and, be
ing registered, to vote.

Mabone's Ally, John Sherman.

Washington Post Of yesterday
We have at last John Sherman's idea
of free and fair elections, fair votes, and
honest counts. This participant in bal
lot-box outrages, this shameless Repub-
lican partisan, who, as a twisting states
man. was the adviser of the infamous
Returning Board of Louisiana and coun-
sellor in the damnable crime by which
1925 Democratic and 1859 Repub-
lean votes were thrown ont, thereby
changing an actual Democratic majority
Of G,549 into pretended and fraudu-
lent Republican majority of 1907;
this advocate of the purity of cleo
tons, who helped prepare GER
tificate of this false result and count
the votes of the defeated electors
under that certificate. some of whose
names were actually forged to what
pretended to be a certificate of their
votes for the fraud Hayes; this recipi-
ent of Cabinet office as pay for his
Louisiana manipulations this immacu-
late politician, who used the Treasury
Department and its influences to get
delegates for his nomination in 1850,
whom he could not have procured IN
any other way under the sun, comes
out, now that election is over in Ohio,
and tells US just how he proposes to
reform southern politics.
Returning boards of the Mad. Wells
pattern, witnesses of the facilities Of
Agnes jerks, and martyrs in the shape
and form of the lamented Eliza Pink
ston, combined and well mixed, are
warranted by this politically chaste
and pure associate and adviser Of vote
stealers and ballot-box suffers to bring
about any desired result.
Let this high-minded political hypo-
critic and dissembler tell the people Of
Virginia whom it is said he is about to
address in the interest Of Mahone) just
what he personally knows about the
saving of Hayes's election in 1876 "by
the formal and legal setting aside OF
fraud and violence practiced in Louis
lana" 1t will have at least the merit
of novelty, and afford yirginians OPP
portunity to learn what they will have
to swallow without any sweetening if
Malone and Sherman have their own
sweet will.
God save the State if free elections,
fair votes, and honest counts have to
be preserved in this country by the
methods which John Sherman advised
and put in force in Louisiana in 1876.

DR.. Hale on the South.

Recently Rev: DR.. EDWARD EVE
RETT HALE made a speech before the
Norfolk (Mass.) Club. II the Boston
papers report him correctly it would
appear that the Doctor is about as pro-
foundly ignorant of southern affairs as
man could we'll be. Among other
things DIR. HALE said:
"There il not one State formerly en-
gagged in rebellion that can borrow a
dollar at par, that can build mile OF
railroad, establish a common-school
system, administer justice between man
and man, or induce hundred emf
grants to come from Europe"
We think DR.. HALE owes it to him
self and to the good people of Boston
whom he ASSUMES to instruct that
he shall come South and take a
course in one OF our public schools be-
fore he attempts to make another po-
litical speech.

A Manchester IN. H. special says;
Forty years ago resident Of the city
named Parker was mysteriously muir
dered. The affair created sensation
of years duration, but was never
cleared up and is remembered only by
the oldest residents. General Butler has
revived interest in the case by relatin5to

which he has kept for years. lie says
that client of bis named Pierson, who
was hung for wife-murder, previous to
his execution confessed to him that he
killed Mr.. Parker because the latter
had refused to return him certain money
which pierson had placed in his hands
for safe keeping or to get it out of the
reach Of Persons creditors.
PiersoD, after failing to get his money,
drove to Manchester from Lowell, called
Parker out on some pretext, and when
