out all there was left OF Republication,
and that therefore his defeat would be
best for our party in the long run, yet
they could not find IL In their heart to
vote the Bourbon Democratic ticket, and
they would not vote at all.
"There were q few Republicans-but
not very many-who said that they con-
sidered il their painful duty TO vote for
tho Democratic ticket, Just as did many
Republicans five or six years ago in
Pennsylvania when the people Of that
State elected Pattison, Democrat, Gov
ernor Of the State. They said that since
that time the bosses had either had to
take back seats or listen TO the voice OF
the people, and that Pennsylvania had
not only been redeemed, but had in-
creased her Republican majority above
what it ever had been before"
Mr.. LEWIS next reports what the
Democrats said, as follows:
GAN express themselves as delighted
Of General Mahones nomination, be-
cause they will now win by from thirty
20 forty Thousand majority, while if Col
onel Lamb had been nominated they
would have had hard fight to elect Mr..
Mckinney. They claim that every
Democrat in the State will 60 70 the
polls TO vote against Malone, and that
voting will not be all that they will do.
"They claim to fear that Mahone's
election would reopen the debt settle
ment. turn the State over TO political adj
vcnturers, bring negro supremacy, and
in fact open q box from which more
evils would escape than were ever
thought OF by those who sealed UP the
far-famed Pandoras box"
This anti-MAHoNE feeling pervados
the genuine Republicans OF the whole
State. II they are as bold as MALONE,
and have the courage OF their convic-
tions. they will make this his last cam
paign.

Mahone's Allies.


The Hon. JAMES L. CAsPBE1L is the
Democratic candidate for Governor o!
Ohio, and is the ally, SO to speak, Of
Phil. MCKINNEY. The Hon. J. b. Fe-
sAKER is tho Republican candidate fol
the samo Office, and is the ally Of Gene
ral MALONE. The first charge which
MAHoNE's allies in Ohio bring against
Mr.. CAMPBELL-and this charge they
double-lead and italiclze in the Cincin-
natl CommcrciGl- Gazettc-is that in the
House OF Representatives at Wash
ington he cast two votes whilst
the interstate commerce bill was pending,
which committed HIM to the policy OF
allowing railroad companies to furnish
to negroes separate cars or separate
apartments. Every decent white con-
gresham ought 10 have voted as he did
md we venture to predict that Mr..
CAMPBELL will not lose one white vote in
Ohio in consequence of having cast tho
votes for which the Ohio allies Of Gene
raj MALONE are now arraigning him be-
fore the Ohio negroes
IT'S bad rule that won't work both
ways. We shall now quote the amend
ments which Mr.. CAnPBELL is censured
for supporting and opposing-ono mega
tive vote and one affirmative vote-and
thus let our Virginia readers see what
sort OF men MALONE relies upon for
money and for sympathy. At page 332,
Volume XVI, Part First, Of the Con-
!OrcSsionai Record, dated December 18,
1881, it will be found that the House had
under consideration the interstate COM
merce bin.
Mr.. BARKsDALr, Of Mississippi, moved
70 amend by adding the following:
"And that furnishing separate accom-
modatiOns with equal facilities and equal
comforts at the same charges shall not be
considered discrimination.
MIR. CANnDK1L voted for this amend
ment. Of course. He vould have been O
traitor to his race il he had not. And
We can tell Mr.. HAIsrEAD that his ally,
General MALONE. will not dare to get up
before Virginia audience and say TINT
Mr. CANPBELL voted wrong.
Again: At page 1879 TO 3i3 of tho same
record and on the same date Mr.. Horn,
OF Michigan, offered the following
amendment;
provided, that such separation shall
not be made on the basis OF race or
color"
Here General MAHoNE's ally tried TO
make United States law which should
forbid the separation OF whites and ne
groes on railroad trains, &c. Mr.. CAMP
BILL voted "No." as every true white
man among the members did. The vote
was-ayes III. nays 121. Read what Mr..
HAIsTEAD's paper, General MAHoNE's
Ohio advocate and ally, says Of that
vote:
"The question was taken and it was
decided in the ne2ative-yeas III, nays
III, not voting 80. James +. Campbell
voted no and htus helped TO defeat
The amendment Of Horr. which sought
10 7recent classification and seDara-
ton on the basis Of color, and confirm
ed the action of the House on the pre-
vSous vote, Which allowed such discrimi-
nation"
These are not our italics. but tho
italics Of MAHoNR's friends and allies.

OF their mouths MALONE and bis allies

There Is among the Bourbons Of Vir-
GINA an excitement about Mahone's can
didacy and the unity OF the Republican
party and the support it gets from tho
Administration OF President Harrison
that amounts to panic -CincinnGt'
Commercial Gdz6tSF.
How little our Cincinnati contempt
rary knows about Virginia politics.
MALONE is undoubtedly the weakest can
didate the Republicans could have nomi-
mated. AS to what aid he will receive
from Washington, we think we can safe
ly predict that no Republican, from Mr..
HAIaIsoN down, will aid MALONE unless
with Government money-that Is, Gov
eminent offices will DO bestowed upon
the Mahoneltes. and then an assessment
will be mnde upon them to shell out "
some Of UNCLE SANS money to aid the
reckless MALONE.

The Lewlses.

We have quoted freely from the Val
sey Virginian, edited by ex-Congress-
man Yosr and his father, what that pa
per has had TO say as TO tho nomination
Of MALONE for Governor. The LrwIsEs,
OF Rockingham, are not second in inAu-
ence to the YosTs, Of Augusta, and we
suppose that ID. SHEFFEY LEWIS, for
merly q United States district attorney,
now the editor OF the Spirit OF the Pal-
lcy, may be accepted as q representative
member OF that family. In letter from
Norfolk TO his paper, after telling how
General MAHoNE's henchmen crowed
over his nomination, and predicted that
lie would be elected by largo majority,
he says:
"There were, however, another class
OF delegates who have always been known
rs thick -and-thin Malone men, who did
not hesitate TO say that they did not re-
gard the nomination OF General Malone
as at oil strong.
"They claimed that he was intellect
nally the greatest man IN the State, and
that he was and ought 10 he the leader
and director Of the party, but they feared
that he was by far the weakest man
who could have been nominated. They
thought the nomination Of Colonel Viii
liam Lamb, Hon. Henry Bowen, or
Judge NJ. b. Wood would have been very
much stronger.
"These delegates were, however.
few and far between, 6sR they Uere
thinking men, and therefore we give
their views for what they are worth.
"Since the convention and during
the convention We met on the outside Of
the convention many men who have
bitterly deprecated General Aiahone's
course in the last few years in doing
what they thought tended to break up
our party.
"All were unanimous in the belief that
General Mahone's nomination meant Oh
overwhelming and irresistible defeat for
our party In the coming election. Some
OF them said they would swallow all Of
the indignities put upon them and their
friends. and try 10 forget the political
blundcrs which had characterized the
Generals course ever since 1882, and go
along and make hopeless fight But
by Ear the larger portion said that they
would not vote at all; that Malone
ism was just the opposite to Republican
Ism, and that therefore they could not
vote longer TO keep at the head Of the
party man who had done 30 much in
the last few years 10 break it 10 pieces
and 10 turn il into his own personal ma
chine.

thought that General Mshone's triumph

Tho Two Parties N VIRGINIA.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Duluth Daity Nc'cs telegraphed TO that
paper as follows on the 22d August.
There are many Virginians in Duluth:
"The South is in the saddle. and it
isn't q side-saddle either, for the battle
will be a pretty even one, though no one
here denies that the great mass Of intel
ligent voters of the Old Dominion are
under the Bourbon standard. So far as
one can Judge from a careful study OF
the situation it is not political principles
nor official pap that gives coherency to
the Democracy in the South, but
race instinct So far rs | have
observed this cannot fairly be call
cd prejudice against the negro, but
settled conviction that he is not fitted TO
rule and m equally settled determine
ton that he shall not rule. In local cleo
tons this sentiment and purpose seem
as strong among Republicans as among
Democrats The contest for the subur-
ban pOst-ofiice of AnaCostia Iadjoining
Washington city is n fair illustration.
A white man, negro, and woman en-
tered for the prize. The cOlOrei man,
who is at least seven eighths Caucasian,
had the best backing and was about 20
pluck the persimmcps, but it was going
to make sad mets in the party, for
many Republican patrons OF the Office
declared they would in such event send
their mail to the city, and he was accord
ingly bought up with a mechanics
job in the maynard. Northern men
who have come here in Govern
ment employ share this feeling. 1t is an
easy thing for q Now England phion-
th-opist to solve the cody question for
the Pacific slope, or for q northern man
10 settle the race question in his mind
for the South, but neither is so simple
10 tho thoughtful man brought in con-
tact with 1t, and mast be studied on
broader grounds than that of party
politics. Nothing but tho race question
could keep the South so long solid
for any one party, but it seems likely to
remain solid till Presidents are elected
Ivy districts instead of States. This
change would, however, in the past have
been on the whole, advantageous to the
Democrats.

Tho Virc1nia Election law.

The Chicago Tribune hes q half
column editorial on tho Virginia election
law. 1t assumes that it was passed as d
measure which would enable the Demo
Gratis to cheat the Republicans. and that
the Democrats habitually use it for that
purpose. Virginia must indeed be in q
dcplorable condition if a Chicago editor
has the rightto lecture herin regard to her
elcction-laws To state the facts is all
the comment that we need to make upon
tho Iri6,oo's unjust article. In 1884.
when the first election was held under
the new election-law, CLEVELAND carried
Virginia 10y only 6,l41 majority. In
1885 FITz LEGS extraordinary populari-
ty ran the Democratic majority up
to 16,034; and nobody doubs that he
thus ran ahead OF CLEVELAND. In 1856
tho Republicans carried the State in the
congressional elections by 20, $50 MAORI
ty. Why did not the Mccormick cleo
ton law and the cheating on the part of
the Democrats prevent that result In
1887 the Democrats carried the State by
only 2,56l and in 1883 by only 1889.
VIII the Tribune allow its readers to
know the truth Of this matter or will it
listen to the false charges Of the MALONE
gang?

MALONE ABANDOSs HIS OwN SETTLE
MESr.--It is not necessary to say that
the RIDDLEBERdER bill was at tho same
time the MALONE plan of settling the
State debt. If MAHoNE had not sup
ported that bill it would not have re-
ceived a dozen votes in the Legislature.
Wen, MALONE is now charged with being
willing and ready 10 come to terms with
the bondholders if they will furnish him
with the means of carrying the election.
In letter TO his paper from Norfolk ID.
SHEFFEY LEWIS, Esq, son of Senator
LEWIS, says:
"They the Mahoneitesl also banked
high upon the fact that he would have
all the money necessary TO make suc-
cesslul campaign, saying that the bond
holders, in order to get tue debt settled
upon better terms than offered by the
kiddlebeTger bill, would furnish large
sums OF money, while the National Re-
publican Committee, realizing the i'm
mepso importance of breaking the solid
South, would furnish money in unstint-
ed quantities and give every other as-
sistance In their power.
upon better terms than offered by
the RIDDLEBERGER bill -! And why not ?
We have often said that the negroes
would as lief contract to pay the whole
debt as to ropudiato it They care not a
farthing for the difference between re-
pudiation and paying the whole debt.
