Fair and Logical.


1t appears that paper which is edited
with such striking ability as Is evident IN
every department. OF the fhlladelphla
Times would be able to understand the true
1nwardness OF Virginia politics. Yet we
ma IN the columns OF our able contempt
rary the declaration that If Virginia is car.
RED by the Mahone party the people OF
virginia will have proven themselves In
favor OF corruption, bad political methods,
and all that Mahoneism is supposed to
Imply.
With proper organization on the part OF
the Democratic party, and with an intelli-
gent appreciation of the issues at stake, we
do not believe that Malone Republicanism
can be successful in the November election.
When the people are thoroughly aroused,
as they Will be, to the evils by which they
are menaced, we have no idea that they will
give the State to General Malone by their
apathy and indifference. But it is not with
this question that we would deal. We de-
sire simply to submit some facts and argu-
ments which show how little there is in the
Times declaration, and how wilfully igno-
rant it is OF Virginia politics.
There is very large negro vote in Vir-
glnla. This vote is uniformly and COM
pactly cast for the candidate Of the Repub-
character of the man for whom the negroes
vote or what the principles the Republican
patty might cherish and promulgate. Now
when it is considered that nearly onehalf
of the voters in Virginia are negroes
and Republicans, it can be readily seen
how few unprincipled men drawing re-
cruits from among the ignorant and un-
principled in the Democratic party, can
carry any measure which may be wicked
and destructive, and that, too, in the face
of opposition from fve-sixths Of the white
voters in the State. Now, if the negroes
who never vote intelligently and the small
army of reckless and destitute politicians
can unite their forces and wrest the State
from those who ought to control its desti-
MES, is it not obviously unfair in the Times
and other newspapers to set down the de-
feat of the Democratic party as the triumph
OF corruption and depravity among the
people of Virginia?
Suppose that there were one hundred and
fifty thousand negroes in the State of
Pennsylvania who never failed to vote the
Democratic ticket. Suppose the Demo
cratic party, which was in vast minority
as regarded the white vote, should declare

What was Republicanism in 1876? A cor
rupt organization, without character or
honesty, that stole from the people the
election of President and rewarded per-
jurers. forgers and ballot-stuffers for the
part they took in the fraud. A miserable
administration that failed to escape the
denunciation of its opponents, to secure
the respect Of its friends.
What was Republicanism in 1880? A
fraud that furnished candidate for Presl-
dent against the wishes of the party, by a
compromise so corrupt and fraudulent that
1t resulted in the assassination of their Pres
ident and fastened on the country the most
venal administration modern times ever
saw.
What was Republicanism in 1884? The
remnant of great fanatical party, worn
out by jobbing and corruption, with be-
smirched candidate, charged and proved to
be in completely with every corrupt job,
every plundering scheme-whose history
and record Disguised the people and swept
| it from the polls.
And what is Republicanism now and
what is it in Virginia?
The same corrupt, lawless organization,
and in Virginia conglomeration, gather
ing together the ignorant, led by theaun-
scrupulous, suffering from the deprivation
of venal patronage, poisoned by disappoint-
ment. enraged by the contempt of good
people-fatally bent on mischief-incendi-
aries to good government and foes to the
welfare Of the people.

honeism in Virginia. Let the people say,

MahOne's Negroes.

John W. Woltz, Esq, Republican, editor
of the Free Lance, an independent newspa-
per, attended the Malone Convention and in
his issue of the 18th tells of how the negro
DULLES were used for the purpose ofsquelch-
ing Sims and Riddleberger. This is new
departure in Virginia Conventions, and will
rec0il to the discontinue of itSsauthors.-
Alas! how have Sims and Riddleberger fall
en-. Sims was once pink of chivalry, and
Riddle has oft been paraded as the hero of
two bloodless duels in one day. We quote:
"The discussion was joined in by several
delegates; Mr.. Riddleberger was treated
with great disrespect, and finally A. w.
Harris, formerly of Alexandria, took the
floor and made a personal attack upon Sena-
tor Riddleberger, who, situated as he was,
was at the mercy of an insolent inferior, in
the presence of fifteen hundred Virginia
people. This was the beginning of disgrace
full conduct that became superlatively so
later on and which can but result disas-
trously to the cause and to the men who
planned it.
y s'Later on Col. W. E. Sims, of
Danvile notoriety, in dignifed and con-
servative manner, presented for considera-
ton new plan of organic ation. In a few
well-timed remarks, in which he alluded to
the fact that Gen. Malone had invited the
people to bring their grievances, if they had
any, to the Convention, where they would
be considered, Col. Sims asked that the
plan he proposed be discussed. Here then
and there work was done by and through
COL Brady's fundamentally, that will nav
er be forgotten or forgiven by men who
have been Republicans and Readjusters for
years.
"Two black negroes were set upon Col.
Sims by Brady and Company. Peter J.
Carter, of Northampton, was the first of
them. He made violent personal attack
upon Col. Sims that was shame and an
outrage. After Carter had done what he
was hidden the same Harris, who had been
selected to abuse and belittle the Junior
Senator from Virginia, strutted upon the
stage and hurled the vilest and lowest per-
sonal abuse upon Col. Sims we ever heard.
Poor Sims, for daring to exercise the rights
OF delegate, was bounded and disgraced
in this public manner by two negroes select
ed to work that no white man in the con-
vention would dare do himself. Perhaps
many of our readers will say Sims deserved
this treatment. No, we do not believe
true Virginian will endorse such conduct.
We heard many delegates, men of true man
hood, denounce the abuse of Col. Sims by
| these two negroes, the agents of others, in
unmeasured terms. We trust, for the sake
OF the high and honorable position General
Malone occupies, that he was not party to
this transaction. We regret that he failed
ty interfere and put a stop to such unmanly
and merciess conduct
