Brazilian Republic.

Brazilian Republic.
country through the Brazilian official
channels, is to the effect that the he
public is firmly established. that the
Pope has given his blessing to the gov
eminent, and that the Catholics through
ont Brazil are in hearty accord with the
new order of things. This is important,
as the controlling religious influence IN
that country is Catholic. All the ar
rangements, contracts, and obligations
of the Empire will be faithfully OBJ
served by the Republic, and the repre-
sentatives of the Empire abroad have
been retained by the Provisional gov
eminent. 1t is now believed, ana so
stated, that Dom Pedro was cognlzant
of the change that was in contemplation
that he was not averse to it. as 1t was
clear to his mind that it was best for the
peace and happiness of his people. He
was aware of the feeling existing to-
wards his daughter, the Princess lsa-
belle, and her husband, and that her
accession to the throne, in the event OF
the death of the Emperor, would have
been the signal for bloody revolution.
1t was to prevent this contingency, it is
claimed, that the Emperor so quietly
submitted to the Republic, and obeyed
the order to leave the country And it
was in consideration of this understand

was preserved to him; Il cash allowance
of $500, 900 given him, and an annual
allowance of $450,000 assured. Notwlth-
standing the rumors which come through
London of an uprising to re-establish
the Empire, it is said the popular ac=
ceptance of the new condition of things
is general and hearty.
81 am not cast down or disheartened in
the least" Gen. Malone said. IF there
had been fair election l would now be
the Governor elect of Virginia, but it was
an affair of fraud The Democrats struck
10000 Republican votes from the cleo
ton rolls. and then in order to beat me.
had to count me out of 10000 votes.
can not say what | will do about trying
it again That is too far ahead. But
am not discouraged or frightened, and
am ready for another fight tomorrow. y
The above Is New York press dis
patch, dated the 10Th. 1t is n modifica-
tion of the first claim sent out from
Petersburg. That was that 10000 votes
cast for Malone had not been counted,
and 10000 Republican voters were pre-
! thn;v 1,o11nfc-
conveniently accounting for the 10000
against him in two blocks. We have nc
doubt there were frauds committed in
some of the counties in Eastern Virginia,
but the true cause of Mahone's defeat
was that at least 35, 900 Republicans deter
mined not to support him. When the
vote is summed up officially, it will be
found, we think, that Mcklnney's vote
will not be much larger, if as large, as the
vote east for Cleveland in 1888, and that
Mahone's vote will be much less than was
/ a arrison's. IN the seven districts outside
! of the Richmond, Petersburg and Norfalk
districts, where cheating is alleged, the
difference between the vote for Harrison
charged that frauds were committed il
all these districts, especially in those EN-
bracing the counties of the Valley and
Southwest. And if we take the claim o.
Malone, before the election, and com
pare it with the actual result it will be
seen wherein he miscalcqlated, ant
wherein his defeat by an overwhelming
majority is accounted for. What is tbs
use. in the presence of the actual fact
OF the case. going about over the countr,
crying fraud and "bull-dozing," t.
the extent of defeating him by $4,000
majority? 1t would be more manly an(
more honest to own up that the people
had no idea of placing Malone in the
gubernatorial chair of Virginia, an(
that Republicans were as determined il
this. as were Democrats.
As to Malone making another fight il
Virginia, with amy hope of reclaimine
his losses, it is childish boasting anl
brayado. If it were possible to max,
the contest over again, he would be de
feated by 100000 and he knows it. H.
will never receive the backing he had il
the election just past. Republicans al
over the country rejoice at his downfall
and will take good care that he is neve
encouraged to thrust his offensive per
sonality into another campaign. He is
politically, dead duck
