Col. w. G. Pendleton is power in the
Republican party in the Southwest and he
has often represented that section in the
legislature. He is one of the most popular
and influential men there. In reply to a
Geographic inquiry from the New York
Herald, to ascertain his position in this
fight, he says:
Mahones election to the Governorship of
Virginia would be a calamity to the State and
to the Republican party. His selfish and cor
rupt management of the party has produced a
rupture in the Republican ranks that can new
Ell be healed except by his retirement from
leadership. There are thousands of Republic
cans 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 number is being
increased daily.
There will be few speakers of ability to es-
pouse his cause on the stump, most of those
who have heretofore done such work being
enlisted in the anti-Mahone cause Am0n9
the masses no enthusiasm has as vet 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 De-

A MARKED CHANGE.

Ex-Auditor Allen addressed the County
Republican Convention which was held to
send delegates to Norfolk. He announced
to it's members that the troubles in the
Republican party had been settled to the
satisfaction of everybody Except a few
belligerent souls who WM not be satisfied. >
And he asked loftily: sCan we stop now
to argue with such people. Did Robt. e.
Lee OF Stonewall Jackson ever stop t.
argue with stragglers ?" Things seem tc
have changed a good deal since then. a
''feW belligerent souls" seem to have null
t1phed into a myriad. And MI. Allen seems
to have gotten gimps of the unexpected
increase. Last Saturday his tone was as
mild as a summer wind and his striking
Illustration Of StOnewall Jackson and
Robt. E. Lee arguing with ''stragglers''
was left unused. Indeed Mr.. Allen. for
getting the lofty example of Lee and Jack
son, took to arguing in pathetic way with
the stragglers about the improperly of their
surrendering the fundamental principles
OF their party merely for slight disap-
polntment in a State ticket. The argu-
ment comes too late. 1t begins to look like
the ''stragglers" had gone to stay till after
November 9Th. They have the whip hand
OF Robt. E. Lee and Stonewan Jackson and
). b. Allen this time.

racy and Republlcanism. He was power
machinery of the party and busted himself
electing men in counties favorable i to his
great railroad schemes. When he could
not use the party he left it.
He was power in the Readjuster party.
But not because he was a leading Readjus-
ter; John E. Massey, Frank G.. Ruffin and
others were the early and leading Readjus-
ter. Nor because he was ever Readiuster
in purpose or in principle. He was a
power simply because he had gotten control
of the machinery Of the party and elected
himself to the U. S. Senate by it.
He is power in the Republican party.
But not becausehe is a leading Republican:
the Lewises, Rives, Y osts, and others We're
the early and leading Republicans in Vir-
ginia; nor because any people look to him
for instruction in Republican principles OIL
faith, Oh even think he is competent to give
such instruction. But merely because after
using REIMBURSEMENT to it's full extent fol
his own personal benefit he found a good
market in the Z. S. Senate and made /.
bargain for himself with the Republican,
administration of Garfield.
1t is a novel figure in politics, but the
picture is true one-that of man who
has little if any political convictions of any
sort, using parties for profit to himself.
Twice already he has come to the end OF
his party rope, and the revolution in the
Republican party against him looks as if he
had come to it for third time. The career
of Gen. Malone, now fast coming to a
close, would make an interesting novel ii
the General could handle pen.

Capt. Rives is an old-line Republican.

prominent member of the Republican
State Convention which met in Staunton.
He is now living i'll Lynchburg and there
the following interview by Lynchburg
Virginidn reporter was had with him:
A V5rginian reporter met Captain Rives yes

influence upon the canvass, requested an in

THE SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH
DISTRIBUTIONS.

U. S. District Attorney Craig threw out
bait to catch the kickers, Saturday. He
said few of the Federal offices had been
distributed and everybody hadn't got a
prize, but second and a third and a fourth
distribution were yet to come along, and
''those who do the work will get their share. .
Passing by the noble incentive to ''vote
their principles. y which MI. Craig holds
out in his forthcoming lottery drawings,
we wish to prevent the deception of asingle
anti-Mahone man, by showing him the in
side. AS far as he is concerned the
drawings are loaded; no matter what prizes
there may be in the wheel. they are not fol
anybody but Mahone's unwavering friends
But they can, if they will, kick the Malone
Prize Wheel into smithereens, and
tumble William Malone with it. If can
didate Malone is overwhelmingly defeated
this time, President Harrison cannot afford
to let him be the distributor Of the prizes
that are yet to come in Mr.. Craig's I'd, Sd,
and 4th distributions. MI. Harrison i'll
the House of Representatives has only taco
majority to begin his administration with
At the next Congressional election, it is il
the power of the anti-Mahone men in Vir
ginia to defeat the two Republicans who
now sit there from Virginia, and wipe out
that two majority. Harrison is deceived
now by the stories of Mahone's strength
and the anti-Mahone mems weakness, but
a crushing defeat in Virginia will open his
eyes and change his course. If Malone is
defeated in November, the whole treatment
of the Ants will have to be changed anG
Mr.. Craig's ID, Sd and 4th distributions
will have to come off under a joint super
vision of Mahonites and Ants. The Ants
won t have to submit to Malone the ques-
ton of whether they were of those who die
the work.
Malone once downed, the s:distribu-
ton of prizes" will be greatly changed in
Virginia.

50 BY THE GRACE" OF THE REPUB.
LICAN PARTY.

LICAN IAR1I.
Mr.. Craig's question of privilege, 4" tt
which he arose in the Court House meeting
Saturday, will not mend his position any
AS he recollects his words about Capt
Mckinney at the previous county conven
ton, they were that he s'held office by the
grace of the Republican party What Mr.
Craig really said, and what is in the repor
terIs notebook taken down at the time, and
from which we now copy, was this:
"Phil. Mckinney never was elected to
anything except little member of the
legislature. He has been an office-seeker all
his life who unable to get it under Demo.
Gratis took it under Republicans.
The difference is not so material, but we
prefer to establish the accuracy of the Vim
DICATOR's report. Whether the office was
''by the grace off, OF ''under" the Republi-
can party, MI. Craig's purpose in speaking
of it, unless he had no purpose at all except
to entertain an idle crowd, was to lower
thepublic estimate of the Democratic nOmi-
nee, by representing him as a man so anxi-
Gus for Office that he would take it from
any political quarter he could get it. Capt.
Mckinney effectually disposed of that by
his letter, and MI. Craig ought to have
presented better case than he did Satur-
day, if he expected to blunt the effect of that
letter.
The Commonwealth s Attorneyship of
Prince Edward to which Capt. Mckinney
was appointed, by Democratic Judge, was
not held ''by the grace" of the Republican
party. The Republican party could not
have turned Capt. Mckinney out of it. mol
could Republican legislature have turned
him out by any process known to law OF
legislation, as long as he attended faithfully
to his duties. He held it by virtue of his
appointment by a Democratic Judge and
''by the grace of his own good conduct il
it. If the Republican party had had a say
about it Capt. Mckinney would never have
had the Office at all.

by Malone ("amidst great enthusiasm !'') be
buried beyond the reach of the political res
urrectionist.
If this was contest between Republicanism
and Democracy, then my path would be plain,
and my yc"y heart and soul would cry aloud
for the ascendency of the principles which
believe to be right; but as it is, the consum-
nation of that much to be desired result can
only be brought about by the defeat and utter
annihilation of Mahoneism.
The defeat Of Malone in November next
will result in more good to the Republican
party in Virginia than anything that has oc-
CURED in the past twenty years.
The very essence of Rcpublicanism is lostil
ity to Malone

TOTHE DEMOCRATS OF
AUGUSTA COUNTY.

The Democratic party of Virginia have
placed their standard bearers in the field
the almost unanimous choice of the largest
Democratic State Convention ever held in
Virginla-Phil. w. Mckinney, j. Hoge
Tyler and r. Taylor Scott, and you have
placed your local banner in the hands of
three of Augustus trusted sons, Edward
Echols, Geo. M. Cochran, Jr., and A. b.
Lightner, with almost equal unanimity.
The Malone faction have responded.
The man, who IS regarded by all Demo-
Gratis, and by a large body of rejecting and
self-respecting Republicans, as the worst
enemy of Virginia, has procured his own
nomination for Governor, and has tried to
moderate this nauseous dose by placing
such gentlemen as Slemp and Lurty on his
ticket. No matter how good and clever
they be, with Malone at the head of the
ticket, it is still as nauseating as if he had
his vilest henchmen Oh the tail of his kite.
But, fellow Democrats, however objec-
tionable such a ticket, do you expect to
secure Il victory over Malone, the arch
enemy of Virginia, and his cohorts by
| lying still? Will folded hands and earnest
ly expressed thoughts and hopes secure
success ? No, my friends, you have hard,
earnest work before you. Every man must
do his duty. Organize clubs at every pre-
cinct. Aid your precinct committees in
every possible way. Respond to their de-
mands- they will not be oppressive-and
respond promptly, for days delaymay lose
youmuch. Do this and you will see Malone
ism, and Mahone's effort to increase your
taxes to pay the State Debt THAT he now
claims to be much larger than he has twice
| figured it before) routed ''horse, foot and
Dragons" You will see the English bond
holders, who are backing Malone, driven
pell-mell to the rear, and the agitation of
the State Debt, without which Malone
could not live, for all time banished from
the political field, and oppressed Virginia,
with this incubus lifted from her back,
rise in her pristine vigor and assume de-
gree of progress and prosperity unequaled
by any State in the Union.
Then to work at once fellow Democrats,
each do your duty and your whole duty.
See that every Democrat gets to the polls.
Watch the registration. Let each one of
you constitute himself committee of one
to locate the newly registered Mahoneites.
1t is just there that the originator of the
tissue ballots" expects to practice the
greatest fraud. He has offered a bonus of
) cents a head for fraudulently registered
voters. Be on the alert. Nip this nefarious
scheme in the bud. Bear in mind that the
man who attempts to fraudulently register
a vote is as guilty as the voter himself, and
very often more so. Watch these men too,
you know them, and let the law deal out
their just deserts to them.
Be watchful, active, vigorous, and the
grandest success ever attained in Virginia
will follow, and you will have the glorious
pleasure of having secured peace and pros
perity for our grand old State forever.

About September Ist.
The Board of Directors of the Public
Library met yesterday, President Dobin-
son in the chair, and Directors Howard,
Davies and Hanchette present.
The Committee on Bylaws presented
its report, which was adopVsd, and the
Librarian was instructed to furnish each
Director with type-written copy of the
same.
1t was stated that although the library
was in readiness for the proposed open
ing on Monday next, the state of the
building would not permit the public to
enter. The gas fixtures had not been
put in the Railways, the painters had not
finished, and the elevator was behind
hand. Under these circumstances il
was decided not to open the library until
about September LIST. The Librarian
was instructed to keep the newspaper
rooms in Downey block open until that
time.
Several blank forms were adopted for
use in the library, and the board ad.
