The Yosrs, editors Of the leading Repub-
lican paper in Virginia, refuse to be sold
out to MALONE. They say in this weeks
valley VirginiaR:
Its columns will be so conducted that
no sincere Republican can question its 10y
alty to the principles and the policies which
flow from them. 1t Will not, however, be
the willing instrument of any faction, or
the slayish apologist of methods which can
have no other effect than TO dlsintegrate
and wreck the Republican party. In pur-
suing the cOuls Sc that sense of duty pre-
scribes. il asks no favors and will shrink
from no responsibility. 1t will not cringe
the supple hinges of the knee that thrift may
follow fawning."
MALONE having removed SHRFFEY LEWIS
from the craftsmanship of the Rocking
ham county organization, the Virginian
says:
Lewis has more manhood and honor in
his little finger in a minute than Malone
ever had or ever will have i'll his whole
being. IL we mistake not. the true, solid
genuine Republicans of Rockingham and
the Valley will resent this act of petty
spite aud petty despotism on the part of
Malone
In an article commenting upon Colonel
LAMBS interview with Washington re-
porter, the Tugnidn says:
"The Republican Convention may formu-
late any platform it may please-may de-
clare for all the principles of the Republic
can party-endorse the national Admins
tratiOn and arraign the Democracy for all
Of its shortcomings, its failures and cor
ruptions, but above them all will loom up
Malone as either candidate for Governor
or the United States Senate hereafter-as
the dictator Of the Republican party, and
the all-in-all of the Malone faction, and
that will be made the supreme issue. And
with It there is not an Intelligent man IN
the State. whether he be Republican or
Democrat, who does not know what the re-
suit will be.
General Malone has made it para
mount and an essential point in his man
agement and tactics to make war upon
every Republican in the State who would
not wear his collar. He has so narrowed
the interests of campaigns rs TO make them
cover and comprehend alone his selfish
purposes He has planned and plotted
and prostituted his splendid abilities 10
humiliate and enslave every Republican
who Is not willing to submit TO ms me-
thods and obey his orders. He consorts
with none but those who Will be subsor-

Lamb in bis desire not 10 want 10 see fac

reason we mean to oppose the Malone
faction that 1t Is the purpose of General
Malone TO set up above the Republican
party and as substitute for it. We will
support the Republican party and the
nominees of a genuine Republican con-
veption rejecting the sentiment and tho
manhood of the Republicans of Virginia;
but we will not support Malone faction
or the nominees Of a packed Malone con-
vention unless we have implicit confidence
in the men who may be selected"
