WEDNESDAY. July %, 1888.
Malone Ignores Them.

II Is fun for the Democrats, but death to
the ssisorganizng" Republicans, the man
nsr in which these latter gentlemen are
treated by General MALONE. He is attempt
ing to use his party machinery as the vehicle
II used which carries the Juegernaut. 'He
proposes 10 run 1t over all who do not get
out OF the way and crush them to death.
He ignores the followers OF JOIN 5.
WISE. He affects not to know that
there is any such faction in existence
as that highly-respectAble crowd to which
belong Governor CAMERON, the bEwIsEs, the
YosTs. GRoSER, FRAZIEE, PENpLEroN, de-,
&c. lie calls conventions 10 nominate can
d,dates for Congress In all the districts ex-
eept the Seventh and Eighth, and gives to
the State committeeman OF these two dis
tricts the right to call conventions in them.
These two districts are so strongly Demo
cratic thAt General MALONE will make no
fight IN them. This, we take it, Is what he
means by turning them over to the State
committeeman.
But the fact Just mentioned might seem 70
indicate also that General MALONE intends
20 make 1t hot for the Democrats in the other
eight districts. That fact, however, Is sus-
ceptible Of another Interpretation. AS we
hsye said heretofore, his first object in the
next election will be TO show that the WISE
faction IS contemplate in point OF numbers.
lie intends TO make it appear to call whom
II NAV concern" that he Is az the head ofthe
whole Republican organization in Virginia.
He will DO this by concentrating the largest
vote that he can bring TO the polls upon the
HARRISON. MALONE electors.
But will he allow Mr.. Yosr to 60 back to
Congress OF course not. There viii be
no Virginia Republican in the next House OF
Representatives who is not a MALONE man.
.Ant Caesar QW nulius Is MAuONE's motto.
lie will defeat Of nomination, or falling in
that, be will defeat Of election, every WISE
candidate in the Commonwealth. We SYM
pathize with the dlsorganizers," but we
can't foresee any future for them in The Re-
publican party so long "a MALONE shall cons
tinue to be as strong as he cow is with the ne
groes.
In this district Judge WADDILL seems to be
the coming man among the Mahoneiies. lie
has stood by MALONE through evil and
through good report. He is a shrewd poll
tician ana will give Mr. WISE trouble.
In the Petersburg district LANGsTON APP
pears 10 have the inside track. He Is
IANGsroS man, not a MALONE man, and will
give the General some trouble unless he ais
lows him to go to Congress. He has large
following among the blacks; and as the dis
trict has an Immense majority Of The black
votes, we know OF no reason why LANGsrON
should not gam his point. twill be observed
that sll OF the other conventions are to be held
before the one in the Fourth district. Ma
HONE Will have all his nominees in the field
before he allows the convention in bis own
district to assemble. lie will have his forces
well IN hand, and will be able to bring I'M
mense influence to bear upon the Farmylle
Convention, which Is not to meet until the
10th OF September-only seven weeks before
the election. The little General is not gong
10 permit the other districts to see how he IS
beleaguered In his own district. Some persons
think that he will tryto secure an open track
for himself. and get into the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes a. a means OF recovering his in-
nuence with toe northern Republicans.
Mr. JOHS S. WISE ought to be able to give
MALONE trouble in the First district, but we
doubt that be will. Whilst he sleeps MALONE
tows tares In his fields. II, however, be
stands idle aud let's MALONE get $4,000 votes
70 his 81, 900, be and hisfollowers in Virginia
win take back seats in the Republican party,
and will never afterwards be heard OF. 1t is
evident that MALONE is fighting the disorgan-
tiers more than the Democrats; and II WISE
does not accept the gage OF battle aud meet
him upon this ground he will surely
prove himself to DO no party leader. He
ought To have had hundred HARRIsoN'WIsE
clubs organized before this time. Perhaps,
however. he has already learned that MA
HONE is to have the support OF the National
Committee. II so, we fear that his forces
viii show up on the 9th OF November next
as the celebrated Indiana regiment is SAID to
have shown up in Mexico about forty years
ago.
