The six characters in which General
Malone has appeared are the SIX states
Of n downward working personality
that has imprinted itself on the State oil
Virginia with the worst political piece
Of speculative demagogy that has been
known. not excepting the coon legis'
latufe Of South Carolina, tha'
charged the State with furniture
and took it to the cabins OF the
negro statesmen. The monstrosity that
was perpetrated by the Republican
party in constituting the negro voter
is made a doubly damned wrong when
the monstrosity is put in the hands Of
q man like General Malone. backed 10y
the boodleof Harrison, Quay, Wanama
ker & Co. and the whole business o.
politics, the affairs of the people, pros
tituted 20 partisan purposes.
We all know this perfectly well, ane
the people of Virginia have sad cause L
recognize the impending risk Of wha
we call the "malign influence.
The only question is can the Demo
Gratis of Virginia, and all its conserva
tive citizens see the issue i'll its tru
light. and save the community
All that is necessary is to bring on
the vote, and to do that is the duty o
the Democratic Committee.
,rTpe lQcsI speakers certainly do al
newspapers have given the party NOR
free service than the press in our Stat
ever did before.
We have explained that the remot

people in those remote districts are full.

THE SITUATION.

1t cannot be denied that President
Harrison's rule is failure. If we had
the fight over again, with what the peo-
ple know now about the tariff and what
they have of Wanamaker and Tanner,
it is safe to say that the Democrats
would win by an overwhelming ma
iority, and this is the opinion of conser-
vative Republicans.
The moral is that the Democrats
should post the party on solid princi-
pies. and leave out all sectional issues.
We do not want Southern leaders when
the Southern people seek an objective
point of practical results; that IL, peace
and prosperity, irrespective of the al
legged personal greatness of Messrs. Car
Isle. Mills q Co.
Messrs. Carlisle and Mills are good
men, but the South wants Democratic
administration and not fight for tho
personal claims of leaders who reduced
the Democratic majority.
The Democratic party some few years
ago had majority in both Houses OF
Congress because the Northern Demo
cracy had headed the movement against
Radlcalism and the South had con-
tented itself with doing the voting and
getting the result of safety. But the
Southern leaders proceeded to take
hold of the party, and at once the ma
lority dwindled and was lost in beth
Houses.
What we want now. is to recognize
the fact that the Southern States were
conquered, and that the Southern
people do not want to sacrifice them
selves on the altar of the personal van
ity Of Carlisle, who was not Southern
soldier.
We want the friends in the North
who saved us after the war, to do the
same thing again.

THE Philadelphia Record discusses

THE Philadelphia Record discusses
the negro question calmly and dispas-
sionately, but it thinks that the negro
should have fair trial as a citizen.
Individually the Record is right, but
the Record has not taken account OF
the fair trial given the negroes in South
Carolina when they had the Legisia-
ture, and made record that would
disgrace the legislative assembly Of the
King of the Canibal Islands. The Record
could not have been correctly informed
on that episode known as the Dan
Vile Massacre the true story of
which is that the negroes had the con-
troll OF the municipal power Of town
OF 10000 people, and made it such q
hell that white woman could not walk
the streets without being insulted by O
negro, and finally, when, after long
forbearance, the white people held a
meeting, they were attacked by negro
mob.
II you want any more experiments,
let the people OF the North. who do not
give negroes authority, come down and
show us the way TO sacrifice deeency
and civilization to the Republican
whits-washed angels whom they will
not Stand themselves.

on GENERAL PRINCIPLES.

Mr.. Harrison has succeeded in SIX
months in making himself the most
odious and unpopular President in oil
the annals OF the country.
He posed himself as a person Of OBJ
stinate honesty and integrity, whom
the political shyster would attack az
the mosquito would assault block OF
adamant.
He was "A grandfatherly patriot and
a fortress Of traditional strength, man
Of might, whom all American men had
to respect, irrespective Of party. lie
was n civil service reformer and a
regular G.. 0. p. angel with wings put
on, just as they do in the beautiful
opera of Golenthe. where the only way
to save the members of the House OF
Peers is TO put automatic wings on their
shoulders.
They are fairies. They are thieves
but when we put the automatic wings
on their shoulders they are angels
That is the method of G.. o. y. machine
They may play any prank of rascal
ity and DO what they will in jobs and
lobbying and buying of States and
''blocks of fiyes,T but when they are
Republicans they are automatic angels
Malone is the disgrace of his State
and of the national party to which he
sold himself, but when he wears the
collar Of the G.. o. p, roguery is the
patent medicine advertisement of sue
| csss, and the Harrison, Quay. Dudley
& Co. party will back Malone.
The people of Virginia have not beel
informed in all respects as to the pratt
cal politics of Malone. The cry Of pro
lection sounds well TO the ignorant man
but the truth is that Protection, as thu
Republicans use the term, means pro
lection of monopoly and enslavemen
of the people.
The working people of the Unlte'
States are made to work for the hom
market owned by the monopolists. IN
stead of being allowed TO work for tn
markets Of the whole world.
We are put on Robinson Cruso
island by the protective tariff. and de
MED the privilege of trading with tn
rest of the world.
