that General Malone cares nothing in the world
for any party further than it will serve his own
personal and ambitious urposes. He rode the
Democratic party for years, booted and spurred,
and taught it nearly all of its bad tricks and at

Will Drop Him.

The Richmond correspondent of Pc
tersburg Inde1 appeal, under date Of
the 10Th, has the following significant
paragraph:
Judge Waddll says he intends tomake
big fight for his seat in congress and
expects to win. But he says he has had
enough of Office running and will never
be a candidate for congress again. In
speaking of the Richmond postoffice he
said that he had hoped that President
Harrison would have appointed post
master before this. but that it looks now
as if there would be no appointment
until after the election. 1t has looked
that way to me for some time past.
President Harrison is not the brightest
politician in the country, but he is smart
enough to see that after, not before the
election, is the time to name Culling
worths successor if he is going to APP
point successor at all. If Malone
should be victorious, ''his man" would
be appointed. If he should be defeated
and he will be--Harrison would drop
him SO quick that 1t would make his
head swim, or words to that effect. A
friend of the president, who is also a
Mahoneite in sympathy-he does not
live in Virginia me that such
would be the presidents course.

Virginia Nothing at all. And as 10
the tariff and debt questions, the people
do not give them a thought. 1t is true,
that Gen. Malone attempts to discuss
the tariff, and has Mr.. Burrows with
him who speaks well on that subject but
it is not an issue in this contest No
more is the debt muddle. There is no
proposition relating to the debt before
the people. Gen. Malone simply SAYS
so, but if he has plan to title the del
it is not confided to the audiences
which he addresses. They have heard such
hollow assurances before, and will take
no more on trust, especially from Gen.
Malone. They want to know what the
proposition is, and whether there is any
thing in it. Gen. Malone has been
to6 10 txvn
statements of the debt, and it seems
that he believes in none of them. When
a plain, practicable plan is presented,
the people will examine it, and if it is
fair and within their ability to pay they
will take serious note of it. But there
has been no such plan suggested nor is
there any plan of any kind, proposing
to solve the debt problem, agitated .or
formulated.
The ''moral support of the North is
merely the amount of material aid that
can be gotten to help Malone to de-
bauch voters, and that is why the tar
if and the debt are put to the front in
interviews and letters, to gull the North
ern Republicans.
As to Malone having the least posi-
BILE chance of election, that is simply
huge joke. Malone knows and Bow
den knows that he will be defeated by
not less than 10000 and probably the
majority will go up as high as $4,000.
Not even the ''moral support of the
North" can save him.

The Kind of Democrat it is.

II is common thing for Mahoneites
to say that the VIRGINIAN is Demo
cratic paper. Well, in one sense it is It
if too Democratic to acknowledge that
the people who make up parties have no
rights in party organization. 1t is too
Democratic SO submit to the despotic
rule of Boss, and to renounce all the
privileges and immunities which belong
to free citizenship. 1t is too democratic
to become the slave of one man. and
abjectly do his bidding, regardless of
right and fairness. In that sense the
VIRGINIAN is certainly democratic. Yet
i. is Republican paper in all that the
term means. 1t believes in the princi-
pies of the party-in the equality OF
MANN the rights of the people and
that in them rests all the powers OF par
ties and of government And it is be-
cause it is a Republican paper that it
would dwarf party into an agency to
do his will regardless of the rights of
the masses. He would make slaves of
the people and bind them with mama
cIes so that resistance to and protest
against tyranny would be powerless and
he reign supreme and unchallenged.-
The VIRGINIAN is opposed to such usnr-
patton and will war upon it until it is
overthrown and the rights and privilege
of the people are respected and recog-
niZed.

Discussion in Bath.

October IL, 1857.
n Editor q ths TalleA rirgaiaa Richard

licans, met at this place to-day, to discuss he
issues involved in the present canvass. This
was cOurt-day and there was large crowd
present, brought here ON business, and also to
hear the political issues discussed.
Mr. Curry opened the discussion in speech of
one hour. Mr. Bird followed in speech of one
hour and half, and Mr.. Curry closed the dis
cusSion in twenty minutes.
In Curly's opening speech he discussed thor
Onghly and in an able manner the principal is
sues in this canvass, showed the great advan-
tages of a protective tariff to America, the great
advantages to Virginia of the passage OF the
Blair Educational bill, and the repeal of the In
ternal Revenue laws. He showed how the Read
justers and Republicans had settled the State
deLt and reduced the expenses of the State gov.
eminent in the short time they had control OF
the affairs OF the State, and how the Democratic
party has since its return to power, nullifed the
State government, and how the DEMOCRATIC
party in Congress defeated the Blair bill and
tried to fasten on this country the Mills free

Mr.. Bird is a very brilliant young man, but he
wholly failed to refute the arguments made by
Curry, and consumed his hour and half in
abusing Malone and in talking of things foreign
to the issues. II Mr.. Bird had anything to talk
about, he could no doubt make good speech;
but it would take Solomon to explain away,
before an Intelligent people, the misdeeds OF the
Democratic party. Currys reJoinder was cut
ting in the extreme, and he riddled the argu-
ment of Bird and the record of the Democratic
party in a manner that elected the greatest ap-
plause from the large crowd present. In fact

October l5th 1882
To the Editor Valley Ti1giniOn:
Dear Sir:-As election day draws near, it seems
to me every true Republican should determine
for himself and make public what his position
will be in the present contest and at the polls.
Although native of Fanquier county, Va, |
have been Republican for over thirty years or
ever since | was old enough TO vote, as was
living before the war in a State where was free
to choose between the Democratic party and
the Republican party, but now my choice is be-
tween Mahoneism which is not republioanism,
and the Democratic party. The question is what
is best to do under these circumstances After
much thaught have come 10 the conclusion
that the best thing for me to do is to scratch
William Mahone's name from the ticket and
vote for the other two candidates the best
way to show our protest against Mahoneisn for
the defeat of William Malone and his plan OF
organization is necessary for the future saliva
ton of the Republican party both in State and
Nation. can never vote for an autocrat on for
a man who believes he is the party and all must
obey him. II such man could be elected Coy

of the government of the Gar of Russia. God
forbid that such a thing should ever happen to
Virginia. Yours very truly,

Wise and Malone.

We had a call on Monday week from
an honest, earnest supporter of Gen.
Malone, who came in under an excited
state of feeling. During his converse
ton he stated that Hon. John s. Wise
was eounseling the election of the Nor
folk ticket, as he had seen a circular
signed by Mr.. Wise TO that effect. We
informed him that if such Il eircuiar was
out with Jno. S. Wise's signature, IL was
Il forgery. That John S. Wise would no
ton of VIM. Malone to the office of
Governor OF Virginia than he would cut
off his right arm. We informed our
friend that just three weeks ago VIZ had
heard John S. Wise deliver one of the
most remarkable speeches to which we
had ever listened. In it he portrayed
Mahone's true nature. He represented
him as covering the speaker with MAN
tie of affected love and friendship,
at the same time lie held a concealed
dagger at his heart. That his treaeferous
and yindictive heart was true to moth
ing but self. and that had be, the power
he would draw into his embrace those
who had opposed his schemes. and with
the power given him, would stab and
stab and stab them until his revenge was
satiated. OF all the horrible pictures
we have ever heard or seen of a charac-
ter, THAT drawn of Malone by Wise was
the most hideous and repulsive.
We mention this matter solely for the
purpose of saying that if there is pub
LEGATION. with John S. Wise's name
Signed to it, stating that he will support
Gen. NJ ihone for Governor, it is for
gerry, and no credence at all should be
given to it.
