case of the State Of Missouri versus Father
Hynes for breaking the stile at the Catholic

Editor VALLEY Virginian:
l have read with pleasure your able and
manly article, giving the reasons why you
cannot support the nominee for Governor OF
the Norfolk Convention, and | write to en-
dorse your position.
+ was one of the few who met in the city
of Alexandria, in 1866. to organize the re-
publican party in Virginia, since which time
I have given to theI party. 10 national, Sta Q
and county elections, constant and cordial
support. I cannot, however, support Gen.
Mahone for Governor, because sincerely
believe the interests of the party, in the
State and nation, will be best suoserved by
his defeat.
Mahoneism is not republication. and until
the former Is repudiated, the latter can
never prevail in Virginia.
Had Gen. Malone, since the election OF
Gov. Cameron In 1881. shown half the z,al

Hon. James G. Blaine in his Infamous secret
circular, nor hi6 numerous acts OF folly and
malignant persecution which have resulted
In the defeat of the party in the State since
1882 The time has come when In my
Judgment all these acts should be rebuked.
The evils we endure lie not alone in the

ceiVe no support of any kind from that quar-.
