WHY MAHONE WILL LOSE.
a Virginia Republican Says That
Nobody Can Trust Him.
I'm a dream a moment long
We sometimes live for years"

From the Philadelphia North American
A Northern gentleman, who has lived
in Virginia for several years, sends the
following letter apropos Of the Repubi-
can State Convention, which though not
written for publication, is SO interesting
that it is presented to our readers:
"Thcre is no more prospect of Malone
CARRYING the State this fall than there is
in his going to heaven in a railroad hand

Mahone's heretofore ablest assistant in
this State, for one hour last Wednesday.
lie told me frankly he was sick of Ma

| ii, i'll putting his two sons on the Govern
incnt. Lamb will positively refuse to SO
much as touch the nomination for Gov
crnOr. He will insist on Mahonc'S tax
! ing it himself As he has SO led the party
that no one can possibly be elected this
fall, it is but Just that Malone himself
shall bear the defeat. That he will be
beaten allthe way from ten to fifty thou
sand is clear to all who know what is
going on. do not believe for one mo-
ment that he expects to carry the State.
He got all he wanted before. He got
control OF the party machinery-that is,
the right to grab all your deluded North
ern Republican money that will be sent
hcre-and il you Northern Republicans
keep on feeding him with your money
he will send the party to receiver, as he
did his Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
railroad.
81 am Republican from away back to
1856, but no inducement would make
me or my two sons vote his ticket. Of
the ten to twelve thousand Northern
men who have come here since 1865 not
five hundred will vote his ticket this fall.
Besides, the negroes distrust him since
his squared with Langston, SO he will lose
five to ten Thousand of their votes this
time. There are at least twenty thou
sand Republicans here who will either
vote Democratic ticket or stay away
from the polls. 1t will be c. J. Folger
or Pattison campaign. Do not think
for moment that am grunting over a
disappointment in not getting an Office,
as have not applied for one and do not
want it. am perfectly independent of
office hunting. This is a Republican
State on fair issue, and no mistake
about it, but with Malone i'll the lead it
is useless to contest it, as we have no
confidence in his integrity. He will sell
us out as soon as he did the Democrats,
and we know it and will not trust him. :"

The New York World says that fifteen
is the highest number Of living children
reported by parents competing for the
500 prize. A minstercallcd to-day and
he stated that he was the father OF cigll-
teen children, fifteen of whom are living.
Mr. S. E. Bostic is the father of eighteen
children by his present wife. Mrs. Jas.
Hamrick near Mooresboro is the mother
of twenty-three children, of whom nine
teen are living and she stands a good
chance for the prize. Her first and only
husband is living near Mooresboro.
1t has often been noted that parents
with numerous progeny flourish better
and live better than those with few chill
drcn. The necessity foreXcrtion prompts
to increased activity, and fortune seems
to favor parents with large family.
Have you not noticed how hard one
brother with only wife and no children
has to struggle for existence, when his
more successful and energetic brother
with dozen to feed has accumulated a
competence? 1t is a tritc saving that a
hen scratches as hard Tor one lone chick
as she does for a dozen. There is a per-
SimmOn for every opoSSum."

New York Sun.
From the Commercial Gazette come
new and powcrfulrcasons for Ohio's love
for her Foraker:
1T is pleasant to us to know that our
young Governor was in the Shenandoah
valley during the Lee-Wise campaign;
that he was the principal figure in the
parade on the occasion of the inaugura'
ton of President Harrison; that he was
the main feature in the centennial parade
at Philadelphia, and that in the New
York celebration of the inauguration OF
Washington the first great wave of APP
plause that swept up Fifth avenue and
Broadway was in greeting to the hand
some young Governor of Ohio"
If the young Governor is going to run
on his shape, we suggest that he take i'll
for the season the name of Fire Alarm,
which we bestowed upon him in recogni-
ton of his explosive talents, and which
admiring millions have repeated, and call
himself Beauty Benson, or The Young
Man on Horseback, or Pretty Joe. He
is handsome fellow on horebaCk, but,
alas! what is beauty if its possessor
howls and torakers all the time?

The New York Herald has this Wash.
ington dispatch:
The dissatisfaction among the culOrcd
men with the conduct of the adminiStra,
ton towards them is constantly finding
vent here, and fuel is constantly added t.
lhc flame by occurrences at the White
House or in the departments. The ap
pOintmcnt of Mr.. Whitmyrr as postmas,
ter at Newberry, S. c., already alluded to
in these dispatches, still hangs fire at tn,
postotlicc department. lnasmuCh as the
only Objection to Mr.. Whitmycr is made
by Democrats, it seems trihe queer that
so ardent a partisan as the postmastei
general hesitates to disregard their
wishes.
The explanation given by some of the
politicians is illustrative of the low plane
upon which the present administration is
conducted. Mr.. Wanamakcr' drummerS
in the South, so the story goes, have been
notified that if the postmastcrgcncral Of
!cnds conservative sentiment by putting
colorcd men in offices where they are not
wanted, he will get no orders for goods
anywhere in the South.
at is a question:" remarked a-.wc.!
known Southern Republican to-day, "it
is a question of calico and ready made
clothing"
The colorcd people say that they cast
80 per cent. of the Republican votes i'll
the South, and that they think it hardly
fair that the white Republicans should
absorb 9S per cent of the offices.
