Brady VS.. Malone.

When the charge was current some time
prior to the assembling of the Petersburg
Republican congressional convention that
Gen. Malone desired the nomination, and
had asked Congressman James ID. Brady to
stand aside, Malone wrote letter Indignantly
denying that he had any aspiration in that
direction. In that letter he said much about
the twill of the people" But it now appears
that Malone very much desired all the time
that the ''will of the people should precisely
conform to his own notions. Congressman
Brady has written letter to prominent
Virginia Republican, in which Malone and
his methods receive consideration.
Col. Brady says in his letter: u return to
the district fully expecting to be renominated
and reelected to Congress, and prepared to
overcome Gaines's corrupt use of money III
the upper counties of the district. depend
ed implicitly on Gen. Mahone's active sup
port. Before comforting with him l had ar.
ranged to open headquarters at Petersburg.
Brady then goes on to detail with what ease
he could have secured large majority OF the
delegates to the convention. Continuing, he
says: "Under these circumstances and this
condition of affairs you can imagine my as
touishment and modification when | tell you
of my conference with Gen. Malone. The
result of this conference with him was that he
agreed to take the nomination. | cheerfully
and generously yielded to his wishes. There
can be no mistake upon this point, for he even
advised and urged that in the event of my
nomination by the convention | should get
up and decline in his favor, and he went so far
as to map out the kind of speech should make
in doing this. Gen. Malone did not desire
this to get out His scheme was to have the
convention force the nomination upon him.
told Gen. Malone in this interview that in
order to make the fight indicated he would
have to furnish means. He paid no attention
to. my repeated suggestions upon this point,
seeming to think that mere mention OF his
name at the convention, without any other
effort, would unite all factions" Congress
man Brady then proceeds to exhibit Mahone's
duplicity, and show how Malone had advised
with and offered suggestions and financial aid
to Cen Boiling, and how he had done the
same thing with Gaines, except as to money.
Brady then says: ssThere was no convention
at Petersburg. Gaines was nominated by
mass meeting, some say mob. The partyin
the banner district is split wide OPEN"
Brady, in conclusion, says: 81 am the last
of the 'old guard Republicans, and | feel
most keenly the position l am placed in by
Mahone's methods, and am for striking back
and striking hard"
Brady is severe on Malone and his methods
and is bitterly opposed to Gaines, declaring
his fixed purpose to exhaust every honorable
effort to defeat his election, and giving names
of other influential party leaders who will do
likewise. Brady favors the election of a col
ored man to Congress, since he has himself
failed of nomination by what he conceives to
have been been duplicity and treachery on the
part of Malone.

Editorial Experience.
The Baltimore american, of Wednesday,
contains the following:

The Baltimore american, of Wednesday,
contains the following:
In the magazines, just now, discussions are going
on as to the civility of the average editor. The
average editor is n gentleman, and he is full OF
civility. The abuse agant him is easily explained.
He finds that he cannot eonscientiously, use vari-
Gus articles submitted to him and he returns them
politely to the writers. Then, those writers con-
slider that they have full liberty TO abuse all editors
in general and in particular"
Every editor encounters more or less of
this sort of experience, bat as he alone is re-
sponsble to his readers and to the public for
what is published in his columns, lie alone is
the judge of what is proper to be published
and what rejected. When any man attempts
to invade that principle, he should be met
with the frmness and independence which are
the characteristics of a free press. There are
men enough in the world, who, when desiring
to appear in print to serre their o'cn ends,
would have the editor as plant as. clay in the
hands of the potter, and are offended, if he
is not. But let all such persons know that
the tme editor is not the tool of any man, or
of any faction, or of any party, but that he is
governed by loftier considerations, desire to
subserve the good of the whole, rather than
of one or a few.

cleveland's Administration.

In an interview with a representative of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, Speaker Carlisle con-
troverts the assertion of the Ohio Republican
platform that the Cleveland administration
had failed to keep the Democratic promises
of retrenchment and economy, and that the
appropriations made by Congress and ap-
proved by the President for the present year
were in excess of the revenues of the govern
ment. During the fiscal year ended June 80,
1886, the ordinary expenditures were brought
$25, $50, 1856 under those of the preceding year.
If the increase in 1886 of 81 1902, 500 in the
amount paid for pensions be deducted, there
still remains saving of 1928, 1879 to the
credit of the first year of Democratic admin
istration. Of this saving 81, l07, 2S8 was in
the diplomatic and consular service, So, $780,
$50 in the Treasury Department, S636,002 in
the Judiciary Department, 1878, 041 in the
Interior Department, So, 346, 425 in the War
Department, 50, 113, 19l in the Navy Depart
ment, $453, 1856 in the Indian service, 81, $780,
1926 in collecting the customs revenues, and
S437, 1903 in the internal revenue service.
There was, besides, reduction in the outgo
for interest on the public debt of $500, ITO.
As many as $50 clerks were dropped from the
payroll of the pension bureau, but those that
were left working more industriously, adjudi
Gated more claims than in any previous year,
with the effect OF lnereaslag the annual pay
melt for pensions, as before stated, by 81
802, 1886. incidentally Mr.. Carlisle calls at
tention to the fact that the United States,
whose wars are rare occurrences, are paying
this year for pensions $76, 100000, while all
other civilized nations taken together pay less
than 500, 900. The ten great appropria-
ton bills, which provide for the support of
the government, aggregate for 1887 six and a
half millions less than the same bills called
for in the previous year. The total of appro
priation bills, as passed by the House at its
last session, was S247, 490, 1854. This amount
the Republican Senate increased by Sl3, 1884,
5I4. As finally passed by both houses the
total was about S250,0O0,00O. AS respects

The Maine election on Monday resulted in
a Republican victory, as usual, though the
majority was not as great as it has been in
recent years, and the Democrats made some
gains in the Legislature. Blaine led the Re-
publican column in person, and made a vigor-
Gus fight. 1t don't look well for the Repub-
Gican party that extraordinary efforts have
to be made to hold SO reliably Republican
state as Maine has been for many years.
