THE REPUBLICAN PRESS ON
MALONE.

seem to mince matters when speak.
ing OF thc certain defeat That awaits
Malone aud his ticket lii November.
Malone could see the same thing if
it were not for the inordinatc vanity
with which he is swelled like IL toad.
FROM THE VALLEY vIRGINIAS.
Gen. Malone is at his old game,
to ;nislcad the people of the North
and gather in as much Doodle as pos.
siIle for the coming campaign.
The same game Of brag anil false
hood was played in 1856. Malone
had no more to do with that cam
paign than the man in the moon, cx-
cept to tanglc up the situation in the
Fourth district, and almost lose the
election OF the Republican Nominee
where there is Il Republican, majority
of 5000. lie had arranged TO go TO
the Pacific slope and leave tic Gun
vass to take care OF itself, Lee nav
ing been elected tho year previous by
$4,000 majority, and Malone regard
ing the contest rs hopeless for the
Republicans But the Republicans
of the several districts did not think
so. They went to work; organized
their forces: nominated their candi-
dates, and elected seven ont Of the
ten members of Congress, and CARR
ed the State, on the popular vote, by
10000 majority. Forthwith Ma
homes henchmen photographed all over
the country: "Anothcr great victory
for Mahonc,' when The State organi
cation was not known III tho fight.
Malone WIS not mentioned or heard
OF anywhere outside OF the Fourth
district. This encouraging result
brought him TO lie again and the
nest year he announced himself n
candidate for the United States Sen
ute, lie put in operation the ma
Chine again, worked it for all it was
worth, with the result of two thirds
Democratic majority in the Legisla
turc. In the Shenandoah district his
confidential friends openly opposed
the regular nominees for the State
Senate and the Legislature because
they were Republicans but not o.
the Malone stripe. Ii WAS then rs
now, rule or ruin
Last year the Republicans would
have carried the State i'll spite of Ma
hone had he not used tie funds plac.
cd i'll his hands by the National Com
mittce to defeat Lan@ston, the Re
publican nominee, and elect Ycnnblc.
the Democratic nominee for Con.
gross, whereby the presidential tick
ct fell OFF in that district 1000, ana
the State was only lost by $500.
This small margin he thinks now he
can overcome. He loses sight Of The
fact that there are 5000 or 2O.UD0
l'epnblicans, 1T least, who voted for
harrison and Morton, WHO will moi
touch Malone with Il forty-foot pole,
aud If he will only accept the nomi
nation OF his packed caucus at Nor.
folk, he will lind tliat the result will
verify this assertion.
1t is possible to nominate n ticket
that would command the support of
the party, bal it inuet be composed
OF men who are not NIahone's tools.
and cannot be made his tools. If
such should not be selected the tick
ct Will meet more overwhelming re-
Duke than would Malone himself.
The northern press and people may
want TO be deceived Ii so they lave
taiEen The right step to be gratified
by circulating the misleading State
ments That are being sent out from
hichmond and Petersburg, as to the
observance OF the honorable com.
PROMISE and the harmony resulting
from it. There never was more
barefaced deception and falsehood
put down on paper, and never one
that Will be more cffcctually exposed
than this one will be in November
next.
FROM TIE SPIRIT OF TIE VALLEY.
