COugressmen Mckinley and Reed.

In reference to the report that Congress-
men Mckinley, of Ohio, and Reed, OF
Maine. are to make Republican speeches
in this State in this canvass, the ValleY Var
ginian says that they do not understand
the situation in this State-that ''Republi-
can issues are not at stake" but that 'it
is simply question whether Malone is to
rule the party with rod of iron, and, il
elected, to govern the State as his personal
property"-that "Mahone represents only
Mahonesm in this contest, "-and that "his
election would be the most disastrous evil
that could occur for genuine Republican
ism in the State and Nation and would be
the utilizing of an influence that both Nc
Kinley and Reed have been warning against
all their lives. Malone cares nothing for
the Republican party except for the selfish
use he can make of it. Unless success
would give him power, he would prefer
that the party should bs defeated. The

GEN. HARRY HETH AND GEN. MALONE.
The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, under date of Septem-
Der 18th, says:
General Harry Heth, who is now in this
city, says that General McRea's report to
him of the fight near Boydtown, in October,
1864, contained such terrible charges
against General Malone that he advised
him to omit them, for the sake, not of Gen.
Malone, but of the army, whose spirit was
already sufficiently depressed, and that af
ter considerable persuasion he induced him
to do so, though McRea at first insisted
that the reputation of the other officers en-
gagged in the fight demanded just such re-
port as he had made. Gen. Heth says if
this is denied, he will come to Virginia, if
desired, and make the statement on the
stump, or write public letter containing
names, dates and full particulars.

Democratic Nominations In ROckbridge.

The Rockbridge County Democratic
Convention to nominate candidates for the
House of Delegates executed that trust
Saturday the 18th instant. That noble and
enthusiastic old veteran in the ranks,
Colonel James II. Paxton, presided, and
Mr.. VIM. S. Hopkins was Secretary.
Mr.. F. T. Glasgow, Chairman of the
Committee on resolutions, reported a series
of clear-ringing resolutions which were
unanimously approved. Mr.. John M.
Johnston, of the Buffalo District, and Mr..
Greenlee Davidson Letcher, of Lexington,
were chosen as the candidates for the
House of Delegates.
Mr.. Johnston is farmer and has served
as Commissioner of the Revenue in his
district. He is fine representative man
in the prime of life. He possesses every
qualification by training. business haplts'
and discriminating mind for the position TO
which he has been called.
Mr.. Letcher is the youngest son OF the
late Ex-Governor John Letcher, and IS ID
the twenty-third year of his age. He
graduated at the head of his class at the
Virginia Military Institute, and then
equipped himself for the legal profession
at Washington and Lee University. Like
his honored father he was student OF
political econ omy when pursuing bis
academic course, and still farther, like
him, came from the seat of his literary
achievements fully equipped for the honored
station which his countymen, approaching
his merits, have bestowed upon him. He
possesses forensic ability and literary tastes,
and will make a canvass which will long
be remembered in his county. He is a
young man of the people, thoroughly in
sympathy with their interests and true in
every manly impulse. He declined when
informed of the purpose of friends to call
upon him, and these friends were in a
large measure representative old men,
who saw in bringing him forward fitness
in the event.
The Democrats of Rockbridge a few
days previously, in district Convention,
unanimously called their Senator, Hon. G.
P. Jones, to the conflict again, and the
banner borne by him and Johnston and
Letcher, as Father Richie was wont to
say, "will triumphantly float over the
field by a sound philosophical majority"

A "Reminiscences.

During the campaign of 1880 Sam Boil
ing, Radical Republican member of what
was known as the 7th-ofJuly. Convention,
which he attended as a Garfield man, told
his friends in Farmville, when he returned
home, that Gen. Malone had told him that
he could go into the Convention-which
was readjuster Democratic Convention
so-called, anS then vote for Garfield and
Arthur afterward. This he told in the pres
enee of number of persons in Farmville,
and Capt. Phil Mckinney related the fact
on the stump at Christiansburg on the Oath
of August, 1SS0,in discussion with Riddle
berger. Mr.. Riddleberger said in reply
that If Gen. Malone did not deny that state
ment he would withdraw from the canvass.
Accordingly, on the 30th of August, Gen.
Malone made formal denial that he had
made such statement, and added that he
did not know Sam. BolliDgl He concluded
by tearfully approaching Mckinney for cir
culating such terrible report about him
without first verifying it, by appealing to
him for the truth of it.
This opened the way for Phil Mckinney
to retort, which he did in the following
piece of sarcasm:
"But you express surprise that l should
have made such statement without its
being verified. How verified? By writing
to you? Why should have written to you
to ascertain the correctness of the state
ment? Who made it?-a man who is pro-
minent in your party, who was delegate
to your convention, who is advertised as
one of the eanvassers of your party-a man
whose veracity have not heard questioned
until received your letter, and when the
statement. in substance, was made to q
number of gentlemen, and made before the
dust of travel from the Readjuster Conven-
ton was shaken from bis clothes; when the
facts were fresh and there was no induce
ment to falsify them; when the substance
of these facts was published and not contra
dicted, and proclaimed in Bolling's presence
from the hastings and not denied, when
Boiling was present and called on to correct
the statement if not true, and he was ST.
lent2
"Under this state of things, l did not
hesitate to avail myself of Bollpg's state
ment, 'unverified,' either to assail or repel
when my own party is being attacked every
day with statements not so we'll authenti-
Gated as l believe this statement of Boil.
ing's to be-"
"Now, would it not have been strange
for me, under the circumstances, to doubt
the statement, and would it not have been
superfluous to ask you if it were true? Can
not an honorable delegate to convention
be relied on as giving a true statement of
what occurred st the convention, and must
his statement be verified before it can be
taken as true" landmark.

Malone Means Calamity.
THE REASON OF DIsAFFECTIoN IN THF RE-
PUBLICAN RANKS.
Telegraph to New York Herald.

Telegraph to New York Herald.
MARION, VA, September 10.-Mahone's
election to the governorship of Virginia
would be calamity to the State and to the
party. His selfish and corrupt
at the party has produced a
rupture in Republican ranks that can never
be healed except by his retirement from
leadership There are thousands of Repub-
licans in Virginia who do not regard him
as the candidate of the party, but as the
candidate of his own machine. Hence they
will not vote for him. The leading papers
are refusing to support him and numbers
of the most influential Republicans have
declared open hostility to him. This num-
Der is being increased daily.
LACK OF SPEAKERS.
There will be few speakers of ability to
espouse his cause on the stump, most of
those who have heretofore done such work
being enlisted in the anti-Mahone cause.
Among the masses no enthusiasm has as
yet been shown for him. The voting masses
seem to be chilled and Indifferent. 1t is
the frequent expression of those who will
support him that they will do so because of
their dislike of Democracy, not because
they like Malone nor that they have any
confidence in his strength.
Another embarrassment Malone is hav-
ing is to get the consent of influential men
to run as candidates for the State Senate
and House of Delegates. His manipulators
are constantly at work trying to persuade
good men 90 run, and in this way perhaps
strengthen Malone, but they are meeting
with poor success in this part of the State.
This sho vs. a lack of confidence in his
chances of success.
Malone will be failure on the stump.
Out of curiosity crowds will probably gath
er to see him, but they will soon grow
weary of his long drawn sentences, piping
voice and bantam strut and quietly stroll
away.
MAEONE'S MAINsTAY.
The strong feature of Mahone's campaign
will be "boodle.' When you meet with
one of his enthusiastic followers he will say
that the Boss is bound to win because
Quay has promised him an unlimited guam
tity of Doodle. The hungry vultures are
sharpening their beaks. They will feast
upon Mahone's corruption fund. but it will
do him DO good. The decent Republicans
are Disguised with the prospect of a filthy
''boodle" campaign and will stand off in
this fight. Mahone could barely win if ev-
cry Republican in the State should give
him cordial support. There are thousands
who will rot vote for him, and he will be
defeated BY large majority.
