DESTROY THAT cHANCE.-If Malone had
but one chance in thousand to be elected
Governor or to have Malone Legislature
elected the Democrats and -Mahoneite
Republicans should relax no effort to de-
stroy that chance. They should be sure to
make his success in either case an utter
impossibility. They should use the most
effective means to accomplish that end, and
that is plainly to vote against all the Ma
honeite candidates, however unexception-
able personally.

Death ofMr VIM R.Kazser.

Another of the Oldest and honored citizens
OF Staunton has passed away in death. Mr..
William B Kayser was on the streets as
usual two weeks ago, but about that time,
from the effect of general debility, he was
confined to his home and yesterday morning
at O'Clock yielded up his spirit at the age OF
eighty one years.
Mr.. Kayser was q native of Allegheny
county, was literally educated at Washington
College. and shortly after leaving that seat Of
learning, entered the Law scbco! of Judge
Briscoe G Baldwin in Staunton. Having pre-
pared himself under the tuition Of that emf
nent jurist for the practice of law, he entered
upon the prosecution of his profession here
about 1892, and his residence of nearly sixty
years makes him one of the few Of the oldest
Inhabitants gong in and out before the COM
munity for more than a half century.
When quite a young man Mr.. Kayser con-
nected himself with the Church. and during
his long residence has been a member Of the
First Presbyterian Church, and noted for his
regular and uniform attendance ON worship
and in the observance and discharge OF
christian duties. He vas for many years an
officer in the Sabbath school. He was such
more than fifty years ago. and is the last OF
his associates in conducting the school of the
era when Robert L. Cooke was the Superin-
tendent; Matthew Blair. Librarian, and Jno.
J. Craig one of the teachers. He was the
Secretary.
In 1882, the pivotal year OF American poll
tics, when SO large number of the citizens OF
Staunton and Augusta county separated them
selves from Jackson's administration under
the designation of National Republican. with
Judge Archibald Stuart as the Chairman OF
the Committee directing the movements In
the early part of that year in which his death
occurred, Mr.. Kayser was one of the young
men who participated in the deliberations OF
the various meetings to forward those move
ments, and which eliminated in State and
National Conventions and the birth of the
Wing party in 1888. He remained consistent
in his political sentiments and action through
life and always held decided view and openly
expressed them.
Mr., Kayser served his town in various pub
lie stations in the Council as Alderman, &c.
and of late years was frequently chosen by the
people as Justice of the Peace. He married
Miss Elizabeth s. Hall. the eldest daughter o.
the late Alex. s. Hall. an old merchant OF
and model of the Old Virginia
gentleman and an exemplar in sterling in
tegrity and christian virtues. Mrs. Kayser
and several children survive the lamented
husband and father and honored citizen. s
The funeral of the deceased will take place
from the residence, corner Main aud Market
streets at half-past O'Clock this afternoon.

Ex-senator John f. Lewis on party fealty
and Malone

Ex-senator John F. Lewis, of Virginia,
in letter to Mr.. Yardley T. Brown, editor
of the Loudoun Telephone, referring to re-
cent criticism of ex Senator Malone, mere
ly says
81 have read with much pleasure your
reply to Brother Fox's article on party
fealty' and your structures on Malone in
your last issue, which are strong aud just.
Party fealty is commendable if not carried
so far as to make men vote for incompetent
or unworthy candidates, but when carried
to the extent of making man vote for a
person whom he knows to be untruthful and
dishonest, then il is not commendable but
vicious.
How can party fealty justify man in
voting for candidate who was nominated
by caucus packed by plan of reorgani-
cation which had been condemned by the
Republican National Convention aud by all
the members of the National Committee
save one?
"How can party fealty justify man in
voting for candidate who did not come in
to the republican party because of his belief
in its principles, but to crafty his maliguity
toward his democratic associates for refus-
ing to nominate him as a candidate for Gov
erpOr?

republicans of Virginia to take down the
Garfield electoral ticket and vote for Han
cock?
Chow can party fealty justify any repub-
lican in voting for man who lost the vote
of Virginia for Harrison by gratifying his
hatred of the republican candidate IN the
Fourth district?
"How can party fealty justify republi
eau in voting for man who wrote the in
famous secret circular to malign James G..
Blaine?
Chow can party fealty justify a republi

in the United States Senate for the federal
patronage of Virginia?
Show can party fealty justify sincere
advocate of the Blair Bill in voting for a
man who refused to vote for that bill when
i6 was before the Senate, and had himself
marked absent when he was in the cloak
room?
elbow can party fealty justify any honest

true to any hing but his maliguitye'
