II is hoping for almost too much for the
Democrats Of the Union 20 expect FoBAKER
20 be defeated for Governor Of Ohio next
fall But when we recOllect how tho Viz
Cinia Democrats in 1888 put en- end TO Ma
HONE rule we NAV be JUSTIFIED in hoping
for the dismissal 80 private life even of the
malignant FoRsEER. The Cincinnati Come
y,ercsaL- Gdncsie unintentionally paid him a
left-handed compliment when il said OF
him. as ii did few days ago, what here
follows:
"Our readers will view with interest the
astonishing Outburst Of applause that
greets the nomination of Foraker from all
parts Of the country"
Astonishing" is the right word. What
sort Of men must they not be who four
times in succession nominated for Gov
ernor such person Us FoRAxEBl He is
the same man. who came AS far as Char
lottesville, Va, few years ago on q
stumping tour and then incOntinently
took to his heels and returned TO Ohio.
FoRAKER's nomination means in Ohio
what the nomination Of MALONE would
mean in Virginia. II the Republicans Of
Virginia desire TO see every Democrat IN
this St{te working for the success Of his
party during the approaching campaign
let them nominate MAHOSBfOr Governor.
His nomination would call out an immense
vote and cause the defeat of the Republi-
can party by q large majority. SO in Ohio
with FoBAKKR. He is the most popular Re-
publican in the State with the rabble,
and the most unpopular with the lead
ing men of his own party. The Cleveland
Plain IPaAT, "a sound Democratic paper,
saws Uf him that he obtained the nomina-
ton for Governor "by the bssest treachery
to party friends by repeated faisehoods,
by despicable trickery" that IN his pre-
tence Of not being candidate for the
United States Senate he is ~ insiDcere as
he was in his repeated deni0ls of his candi-
dacy for the nomination for Governor /;
that he dcliberately stabbed every man
who stood in the way Of his getting that
nomination; and that he will reinorse-
lessly knife every Republican who aspires
to senatorial honors. The PAIN UcaJer
adds;
Foraker is the incarnation Of political
selfshness and faithlessness. He does not
know what party honor iA There are
hosts of steadfaSt Republicans in Ohio who
know that 90 be true"
How many Republicans are there in Viz
cinia who are ready TO say the same of Ma
HoNEl Not few, we suspect.
We are not sure that MALONE will run for
Governor this year; but We are sure that
he Will resort 10 some scheme which Will
place him undeuiably az the bead OF the
Republican party in Virginia This object
be can accomplish either by running for
Governor OF by causing himself 10 be NOM
mated for that Office and then decling TO
accept the nomination. His nomination,
whether he declines or accepts, will be no
ticc 60 President HARBIsoS that MALONE Is
the head and front of the Republican or
ganizatiOn in Virginia, aud notice In CAM
IRON, BRADY. FlAHIRR, the LRwIsEs, the
YosTs, PiSpLKrOS. HERRNANs, GRoNEBs. and
all the rest of the kickers that no Offices
will be at their disposal unless they march
under MAHoEE's standards.
FoBAKHB and MAHoSS-two representa-
tives Of the Facing Both Ways Republican
PARTY. On one side is FoRAKsB, full of
envy, hatred, and all Observation-Disclosures TO
the southern people FORAKER, who detests
"rebels" and would not allow even one
"rebel" flag TO be returned TO the
gallant men from whom it had
been captured in war; FoeAKEA who
would punish at this late day If he
could the "traitors" whom he sees in
all the southern Democrats. On the other
side is MALONE, general in the Confede-
rate army, and yet siding with FORAKER as
against his own people; MALONE, who
would support tho South-hater FORAKER
rather than the South-lover EARLY for
President Of the United States.
