The Bourbon victory in Virginia Is case
of the Dutch taking Holland but the re-
suit would have been different mad there
been en- approach TO harmony among the
Republican leaders.
EQUAL TO TIE EMERGENCY.
memphis Appeal
The manhood of Virginia was equal 10
the emergency. and when the polls closed
Malone was forever buried under noun,
tain Of ballots. His little day IS done, and
he must retire to an obscurity chargedwith
the contempt Of all honorable men.
TOOK HER By THE HAND.
FLORIDA Times Unon.l
Yearsaeo. virginia, leading her daughter
Ohio. by the hand, offered that great Com
monwealth as a free gift 20 the Union.

hand and together the mother and the
daughter pledged themselves over again
to a constitutional union.
BOTH DEAD.

The result in Ohio and Virginia is better
than we dared 10 hope. With this defeat
dies Forakerism and Aahonelsm. The
Two Dromios,n one in Ohio and one IN
Virginia. will now cease their antics on the
political stage, and the elements mat nave
aided them will disappear with them into
deserved oblivion.
THE OLD DOMINION ALL RIGHT.
Mobile Rceistorl
The Old Dominion is all right. She has
showed Malone under by from twenty to
forty thousand majority. II is now only a
question ~ TO the size of the majority
| President Harrison has failed TO break the
ranks of the unteTlfed South. Virginia
NAV be slow 10 come. but when she comes
| there is no mistake about her.
This is glorious news for the millions ct
the South who are DESCENDANTS of Viz
cinians II is most cheering news Tor all IN
| any part of the Union who are proud OF the
| Caucasian race and who cherish h0nestand
intelligent government.
A SERIOUS BLOW TO HARRISON.
New Orleans ficay lnel
The defeat Of the Republicans in Viz
ginia is a serious blow TO the Federal Adj
| ministration and TO President Harrison IN
| dividualy. rs it was well understood that
| q great effort was being made TO carry Nlr-
| ginia 50 as 10 place an entering wedge into
! the solid South. The fathfulness of the
| heroic old State TO her southern allegiance
| has been most COnsplcuOusly demou-
strated. and We believe will sufficiently
convince the Republicans of the country
of the futility Of further attempts 10 cap
ture a southern State.
The r0ut Of the Republicans IN Virginia
| is n blessing to the entire South, oS there
| is not the slightest doubt hut that hHd
they been successful in the Old Do
mnionn thcv would have been encouraged
! 10 inaugurate an aggressive campaign ~
other southern States bv revivlng the race
issue and controlling elections.
A GLORIOUS VICTORY.
| Wilmington stsrl
The defeat of Malone is something on
! which not only the people of Virginia. hut
of al the southern States are 20 be con-
| graduated. His election would have
| brought disaster to that State; it would
| have inaucurated reign OF disorder, yio-
| leuce mlsgoyernmeut, and corruption
| which wOuld have shattered confidence m

| her urOgro and development, and para
| lived her present and prospective indus
! tries. 1t would have thrown the tate back
many years in the march of progress upon
which she has entered. The people
! of Virginia knew this. and hence their en-
! phatic verdict ar the polls. His defeat is q
cause of congratulation for North Carolina
and other southern States, too. had he
| been eiscted il would have so encouraged
| the Radical leaders IN this and other south
| ern States where they hadGighting chance
| TO recognize and plot for future conflicts.
| They would have begun the secret organl-
cation Of negroes and OF the deludci whit"
men they might influence 20 stir
mp enntv and array antagonlsms
| that would have resulted IN dis
Esensions aud conflicts that would have dis
turbed our peace and impeded our pro-
gress. We would have the same bitter con-
tests of former years with intensified bit
! terness, because the Radical leaders, despe-
rate as they are known to be, encouraged
! by MahOne's success. would have made
more strenuous efforts, and would have OK
| hausted all the resources of deviltry 10 Sc
| cure possession of the State. IN this they
would have the hearty cooperation Of the
| Federal Administration. We send greeting
| to the gallant Democracy Of glorious Old
/ Virginia and TO the men who were not
| Democrats but who aided them in their
grand victory, victory for them and O
victory for US.
