The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1888-03-15

We print elsewhere the would be secret Cir
cular of Gen. Malone in which he virtually
orders the Republicans of the several congress
sional districts to endorse .his administration
to establish the unit rule that was expressly
repudiated by the controlling committee OF
party affairs to endorse the late manifesto
laid before the National committee, and signed
by Messrs. Bowen, Brown, BoWden and others
to repudiate the "Kickers' and to choose dele
gates who can be controlled by him In his sup
the sum and substance of what Gen. Malone
aslls-rather, demands shall be done.
We publish the circular in order that 1t may
be seen by those who prefer to read it. Gen.
Malone sent il only to a select few in whom
he had confidence We give it to all the voters
who may be disposed to read il.
We believe in running politics with all the
people: Gen. Malone prefers trusting only
such persons as he can control. We want what
the people want. He wants the earth and the
fullness therefore We are on the 'high line -
Gen, Malone operates III the "abysmal depths. .
We want the people free; he wants them
slaves and serfs. We want the free expression
of the people; he wants to ride them, booted
and spurred along the road to Sherman. We
believe in ground work he believes In grand
and lofty tqmhling We want a fair discussion
Oh questions relating TO party management; he
wants 10 stifle the voice of the masses. He
wants Sherman for President; we want the
man the people want.
He wants the "kickers" repudiated; the man
nominated for President wants the ",ickers'
votes. BE wants discord, discussion. disaster
and blind obedience to his ukase. Party
leaders with correct notions want unity, har-
mony, peace and all the votes they can get.
Even the Democrats, who lately assembled
at Washington TO arrange for their convention,
cordially invited all men, regardless of past
party affiliations to come over and join their
party. Malone is regular "repudler" OF
everything tnat does not bear his stamp and
wear his collar, One would have thought tina
by this time he had learned that there is bu
one Malone and o large number of 'l1lcE ers
and that the ''zickeS" have probably had some :
thing to do with the repudiation ofhim that has
been going on Ia Virginia, in the past few years
Isn't il about time FIR him to changes or,
have his admirers among the Republicans de,
termined to further encourage the General in
his manner of dealing with men and public
questions?
If they have, SO be it, Should Mr.. Blaine be
the nominee of the party and elected, the Re-
publicans Will have Gen. Malone to thank for
their being lett out in the cold. Should Mr.,
Sherman be nominated he Will have Gen. Ma
hone to thank for alternating a number of
Baine's frienda, who viii resent the af1ront
put upon their favorite by his uncalled for and
impoltic circular Have the great bulk of
Virginia Republicans who we admit are loyal
as Turks to Gen. Malone, concluded, as have a
number of them here, that he can do no wrong 2
Very we'll then if they have become ldolaters,
men who love liberty and who believe in the
principles upon which the American govern
| ment is founded to oppose the installation of a
King in the state where freedom was born
where liberty was first established.
There is no Republican ism in submission TO
tyranny: there is no Renuhlioanism In the
worship of any man and blind obedience to
his edlcts, and they who talk about CHECKERS
against the threatened and real usurpations of
Gen. Malone lack the capacity to distinguish
the difference between liberty and slavery.
