war 70 tho KNIFE.

We gave Yesterday literal extracts from
the Vallcy VirginiaH. the leading Republl-
can paper in Virginia, edited by ex-Con-
gresham Yosr and his father. going TO
show that the so-called compromise agreed
upon recently at Washington by Ma
HONE and BRADY. or by some other high
contracting parties, was no compromise al
all, but mere attempt 10 humbug the
anti Mahoneites and recall them to Their
allegiance 10 the little General. As we
coutended at the time this bogus trade was
claimed 10 have been made, 1t was as II
MALONE had said to WrsE, You NAV have
the buzzard and I'll take the turkey, OF
will take the turkey and you may have
the buzzard."
The tone Of the TirDnidn confirms rs IN
The opinion that General MALONE Will not
nm for Governor He viii content himself
with putting away the crown" OF can
didacy and letting it adorn somebody eises
head-Colopel LAMBS we expect. We as
sumo that the YOsTs know the backing
they have among the real Republicans OF
Virginia. The LywIsEs cannot be IN any
better humor with MALONE than are the
Yosrs. MALONE having displaced SHETEY
LEWIS rs county chairman Of Republican
county for no other or better reason than
that he was an anti-Mahoneite.
How has MALONE succeeded so complete
lvin pulling the wool over the Presidents
ewes? Not by glib tongue. nor 10y appa-
rent sincerity in his representations, nor
Nv cabling Mr.. HARRISON, nor by assumed
devotion 20 bis fortunes. The little Cen
eral has simply employed Quay as his GO
between. For months and months MA
HONE has remained in Washington. seldom
seeing the President, never obtruduT ms
company upon him, hut always having
OrAY at the White House to speak a
good word for MALONE whenever he
could do so accidentally" The Presi-
dent would not listen to MALONE
in person. but no suffered himself 10 be
totally deceived by Quay, who was nothing
more nor less than MAHoNE's proxy. Sup
posinc that he was comforting with con-
fdential friend Of his own, the President
was in reality holding converse in regard
70 his most secret purposes with tool OF
MAHoNR's. Thus it was that MALONE
through a third party accomplished what
he could not possibly have accomplished
in person.
What is the remedy? There is but one
thing for the YosTs, the LEwIsEs, WISE,
CAMERON, BowDEN, PESpLEToN, BERKELEY,
and the rest of the anti-Mahoneites to do.
And that IS 70 convince the President that
QUAY played him false in pretending to be
his confidential adviser as how he should
treat MAHcNE. Let these gentlemen satisfy
the President upon this point and their
troubles will be over; for they will at once
be assigned the place In his esteem when
QUAY has secured for MALONE. Wetake from
the TaReqj Virginian the following forcible
indictment Of MALONE. The picture IS a
perfect likeness. We quote:
He 1.-THE President has been misled if
II has been represented 10 him that the
people of Virginia will ever elect General
Malone to anv Office. or elect Legislature
that will confer upon him any political
honor or emOlument. So far rs any recognl,
ton of that kind Is concerned be Is as dcad
as the traditional doOT-nall. lie IL born
agitator and will always have hornet
nest in active operation IN DOth state
and nation, so long as he is connected
with party organization, but he Will
never again succeed IN commanding the
confidence of the people of tins State
to the degree that Will advance INN TO
mower through their voice. The Presl-
dent has been deceived in the promise that
a full Republican vote can be secured foI
any ticket that may be nominated, and
that the Republicans of Virginia will allow
the bull ring 10 be placed in their noses, t.
he led wherever the bosses may direct. We
believe we speak for $4,000 true, tired ke-
pubhcans, when we say they Will not sur.
render their rights and their convictions at
the command of any cabal or combine that
would seek 10 prostitute the Republican
organization to such base uses They VIII
draw the line between the kepubhcdR par
~ and a Malone faction, and when the Two
conflict they VIII support the former al
the time and place their seal OF con'
demnation on the latter. They cannot be
bartered off-they are not for sale. and vii
scorn and spit upon the disgraceful bar
gain that il seems has been recently ar
ranged between Malone and a fragment OF
the National Committee, by which they are
20 be transferred. body and brooches, u
the keeping of Malone"
That is plain talk. If the Wiseites vii
follow 1t up by action they may at leas
save their reputation as sincere Republi
cans. II they fail 70 follow it up by &C
ton, they will be set down as nothing bu
trenchermen.
