hone IN the Eighth congressional dis
trict tBarbour's) have been heard for
some time past. The Baileys. OF fau-
quier--father and several s0ns--have
OF late from time to time been reported
as against the Republican ticket Of
Wise, etc. No confirmation OF these
rumors was TO be had, however, until
Msjor Bailey came to this city few
days ago, and, after q consultation with
q large number Of Republican friends,
announced speech from the Opera
House tonight. Ii was soon under
stood that be was for Lee, and the news
was genuine surprise to both Demo
Gratis and Republicans. The senior
Bailey. who was q large farmer and
stakeholder before the war, has never
cast Democratic vote OF state cleo
ton. He was Il bitter 0ld-Line Wing
SO long as that party had an existence
and very soon after the new formation
Of parties in Virginia became Repub-
lican. His personal popularity was
such that when candidate Tor
the State Senate from the cOun-
ties Of Fauquier and Rappahannock
be ran eleven hundred votes ahead
Of the Republican ticket Tor Governor
headed at the time by Judge Hughes.
Since then be has been the candidate of
his party for Congress in the Eighth
district. he also, in conjunction with
Colonel Nosby, controlled much Of the
Federal patronage Of the State during
the second term Of Grant, and this In
fluence was continued throughout the
HAYES Administration.
He has several sons Of more or less
prominence in politics. one Of them hav-
ing held for six or seven years the con-
sulGte at Palermo, Italy, from which he
voluntarily resigned year or two ago.
His arrsignment Of Malone and the
party which he pictured him in his
speech as bestriding and dominating Is
by far the most comprehensive and Sc
we're that has been made by any Re
publican in Virginia and. what gives
still greater value TO his utterances. IS
that his relations TO the Senator have
always been understood by the public
as quite friendly. not 10 ssy cordial.
MAJOR Bailey read his speech manu-
script. showing that it had been care
fully prepared. send you brief sy-
nopsis Of II. Amongst his charges are
these No man can maintain a satisiac-
tory or honorable relation with the Re
publican party a. it is now constituted
IN Virginia, because Of the fact that II
is held and used as 0 personal chattel Of
Malone. 4 Bourbon and tyrtnt both
by nature and education. Malone Is
better fitted, be thinks. for q residence
in Austria or Russia than Virginia.
Mahone's struggle now is for the same
dominion over the State which he mas
over the Republican party. No party
has ever lived al peace with Malone.
Malone has quarrelled with every
Governor since the war. all Of whom he

Holiday, and Cameron.
A long list Of the names Of EXON
gressmen. senators, delegates. and
leading Republicans and Readjusters

Particulars Of the bargain with Ar

The sad end Of al the bsrrains,
alliances. and coalitions engineered by
Malone he sums Up ii the extinction Of
the Readjuster party, not q glimpse Of
which. be says, remains except as Its
ftg-end may be seen protruding from
the Republican mouth; in the over

Everything be says. had been bar
