Malone Convention, yclept the Republican
State Convention, which will meet in
Petersburg to morrow, will admit or in
anyway recognize, the delegates elected by
the Conventions of the "kickers," and sup.
pose that these delegates will then organize
a convention of their own, claim it to be
the valid convention, and elect four dele
gates at large to represent the State in the
National Convention; and the district dele
gates will be those elected by the ''kickers'
in the District Conventions. There will
thus be two Conventions and two sets of
delegates to Chicago.

ga FREE VOTE AND 4 FAIR COUNT
This has been the text upon which Malone
and other Republicans, North and South,
have been harping-charging that the DEM
ocrats of the South would not allow ga free
vote and fair count" Its now appears
that some of the Republican papers, that
have been echoing this false cry of Malone
and others, now charge Malone with in
sincerity, and among the number is the
Highland Recorder, that, in reference to
the action of Malone in Shenandoah coun-
ty, says
"This action on the part of Gen. Malone,
who has occupied the place of q. S. Sena-
tor, and who claims to favor a free vote
and fair count, is simply contemplate, and
the only word suited to such action is dis
gust"
Many republicans, who are getting their
eyes open, are now endorsing all that the
Democrats have charged against Malone
and his "malign infuence''-in fact, they
are, if possible, more emphatic in their
denunciation of him. In their efforts to do
justice to the subject, they cannot find
words adequate to the expression of their
detestation, and feel, as Sam Small expressed
it in another connection, that their vocab-
ulary is poverty stricken"

WILSON, OF W. Va, ON TARIFF RE-
FoRM.-Representative Wilson, of W. Va,
delivered an able speech in Congress on the
10th instant, which concluded as follows
sThis fight will go on. There will be no
industrial peace in the country until the tax
laws are established npon basis fair to all
Applause. We will keep the country
rocking from ocean to ocean until we secure
justice and fair dealing among all the citi-
zens. You may strike down that tribune
of the people at the other end of the avenue,
who, putting aside all ideas of prudence,
spoke out that ringing summons that rallied
the people as nothing else ever did. You
may strike down the leaders of this fight as
you struck them down in the last Congress
and the previous Congress. Those who
hold the stand may fall, but other hands
will take it up and move forward. The
spirit of our intelligence is behind us. The
spirit of liberty is behind us. All we can
hope for the destiny and greatness of this
country urges US forward, and in the Ian
guage of our Speaker, Whoever may falter,
whoever may fail, the people of the country
mean that its glorious destinies shall be pre-
served, that they shall be transmitted unim-
paired to posterity, that the country shall
not belong to monopolists on the one hand or
to communists on the other, but shall be, as
it was designed to be, of the people, for the
people, and by the people,"
As Mr.. Wilson concluded he was raptur-
ously applaused by his party friends, while
many republicans Joined in the compliment,
and amid cries of ''Vote," "Vote," men,
bers crowded around Mr.. Wilson and warm
ly congratulated him upon his speech.

OF the European governments that Of
Switzerland resembles our own most
closely. The Confederation Of Cantons
there is analogous to the United States
here, but there are differences OF o minor
sort. For example, the President oil
Switzerland holds office only one year,
from January to December 81, The
gentleman whose portrait We give Is
President this year; he was Vice Presl'
dent last year. He belongs to the Can
ton OF Zurich. the second in Importance
in the Confederation, Bern being the
first.
President Hertenstein is about sixty
three years old. He was born at KY
burg, Canton Zurich. After receiving d
good academic education, he entered the
service of his native Canton as forest Oh
ficer, whence he was promoted, after
some years, to be inspector Of the forests
of Zurich. During the nine years from
1870 to 1870 he was member OF the gov
eminent OF that Canton. Since the sec
ond OF those dates he has been member
of the National Assembly and OF the
Council OF States, also Vice President, as
previously stated. Since 1872 Mr.. Her
tenstein has been colonel OF artillery.
He has been head OF the Military Depart
ment in the Swiss Council.
The President of Switzerland, who is a
well-eQuipped and sagacious statesman,
is a shining example OF the wisdom OF
government OF the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people"
