wards with the late Alex. H. Sands; but
his chief work was as Commissioner of
Chancery, which position be filled, with a
brief interval, for 80 years. He was a
prominent Mason and Odd Fellow. He rep

terms in the Legislature. He was genial
and popular. In its notice of him, the Dis
patch says
GAS q public speaker Colonel Evans en-
ioyed a high reputation, and his services
were in frequent demand; and no matter
what the occasion or what the subject there
to be discussed, he was always ready, wit
ty, and captivating, and he had an almost
ineAhaustable store of anecdotes. His rank
in his profession was high and honorable.
The friends of his youth he kept to the
last. Il the social circle he was delightful.
Until the fatal touch of the disease came
upon him he had the enthusiasm of boy.
As poet he had considerable talent
He wrote and published number of poems
both gay and grave. His ''MemoIiam" of
the late Br. letter in blank verse was de-
servedly commended by good critics.
Colonel Evans was true-hearted man.
Duplicity and deceit found no favor in his
eyes and had no place in his heart. He
was loving and tender husband and faith.

served his city and State Loyalty and freely,

A PalDable Hit,

Judge Nowlin is now supporter of Ma
hone. When editing the Danville Register
in 1884 he wrote as follows:-
"Another reason why the democrats
should not consent to joint discussions is in
order that every man may see for himself
the difference between democratic audi
ence and a republican one, and then de-
termine which one he had rather associate
with. If any white man, after having an
opportunity of comparing the two, can de-
termine to cast his lot with the republican
crowd, he shows depravity of taste which
proves him eminently ct for his associates
and which should thoroughly reconcile the
democrats to the idea of parting company
with him."
The Danville Register Of the 18th inst,
after copying the above expressions OF
Judge Nowlin, adds this brief, but cutting
COMMENT
"And as the same Malone and the same
republican crowd" are in the field to-day,
the white men of Virginia can thoroughly
reconcile themselves to the idea of parting
company with Judge Nowlin.

MAHoNEIsM DooMED.-The last Vdlley
Virginian published a number of lette-s
from prominent Republicans who will not
support Malone, and in an editorial head
ed "Mahoneism Doomed" it says
s'The condition and the times are pro-
pitious for free declaration of the resent
ment by the Republican voters of Virginia
of the tyranny and the treachery of Malone
ism. They have borne, with astonishing
patience, his insolence-his aggression up
on their rights-his reckless purpose to
rule or ruin, and have determined to settle
accounts with HIM once and for all time.
The deep undercurrent of outraged feeling
that pervades the great mass of the Repub-
lican voters finds voice in the bold, brave
utterances to which we give medium today,
and which will be given more forceful
method of expression on the 9th of Nov
ember. The verdict then will inform the
world that the Republicans of Virginia
have ceased to be the abject slaves of Ma
honeism-that their manhood has been STIR
red: their self respect aroused, and that the
incubus of Mahoneism has been thrown off
now and forever"

The Republican circular arraigniug the
Democratic party on the charge of an enor-
nous increase of ''eXpenses of the stale
government" is, unconsciously, a strong
endorsement of that party to the colored
voters of the State 1t shows that the
Democratic party has maintained in good
faith the educational and charitable obliga-
tions of the State to its colored citizens
Not only has the party kept faith in the
past in this respect, but if Governor Lees
recommendation signifies anything, it will
frankly and bravely meet the obligations of
the future. Only few days ago Governor
Lee was quoted as having recommended
the building of another asylum for the col
ored insane now crowding the jails and the
poorhouses of the State. The Democratic
party does not aud ought not to pause at
the matter of expense when the expendi
ture is necessary and prone. That party
has no reason to feal its record in the mat
ter of expenses.-P Petersburg Hder- Appeal

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THE FARMERS. -~
The Richmond State says that Malone ex-
poets to be elected by the neglect Of farm
ers to 60 to the polls. He surmises that
they will be so sure of his defeat that they
will not deem it necessary to attend the
election, and, as it will be busy time with
them, they will not go to the polls. The
State says
"The Importance of a full Democratic
vote is thus apparent The absolute neces-
sity for immediate organization is par
amount. Farmer Democrats, organize at
once! Farmer Democrats, be on your
guard! Your votes are absolutely needed
to overthrow Mahoneism."
We think we can promise for the farmers
of this county that they will do their duty
by going to the polls and voting against the
"political pirate" as some of the Anti-Ma-
honeite Republicans denominate Malone,
however pressing the labor On their farms
may be. They will be at the polls on cleo
ton day if able to 60.

mable lady had reached her Slst year, and was

at an early day settled with her husband,
Christopher Beard, Esq, in the woods near

member ofthe Methodist church for long
series of years, and died at peace with her God

The!RestrictiOn on the Ballot and Whipping
Post

WE. Craig having claimed in his speech
in the County Republican Convention that
it was Malone who ''had the capitation re-
striction on the ballot removed and whip
ping-post law repealed" the VaNey Vir.
ganian says that Malone was chiefly respon-
sible for their existence, and that SIS. Brown
Allen and W. E. Craig were clamorous for
their adoption" and in the same article
says
''Gen. Malone was candidate for the
Democratic or Conservative nomination for
Governor, but was defeated in Convention
and Holiday selected. It was then when
bis party kicked against his power and
against his plots, that he determined to
bolt from the party and organize new
one. His Mozart plan was simply form.
ulation of the positions the Republicans
maintained upon the public schools, the
capitation tax, and the whlpping-post He
did not demand the removal of the brazen
wrongs which he had been mainly instru-
mental in inf1icting until he saw that he
might make capital out of them. He took
advantage OF his own wrong doing to win
the support and sympathy of the victims of
his cruelty, and availed of their necessities
to gain their support for his new political
relations. He was moved by no high mo-
tive to atone for the injury he lad inflict-
ed, but was animated solely by selfish
consideration and to crafty an inordinate
thirst for revenge and power"
"But even if he had accomplished all
that is claimed for him, he was well paid
for it. The colored people owe him no.
thing. They have made him what he is
politically, and it is not a job they should
be prond of. He has used them for his
own exaltation and for his own selfish pur-
poses, and all the thanks they have receiy.
ed is his contemptuous and sometimes bru-
tai treatment. The case of Langston meas
ures his respect for the negro and the inter-
est he feels in his character and advance
ment. He uses him when he has selfish
end to effect, and abuses him when he will
not obey his orders. He is a harder task
master for them, with the light of freedom
beating upon them for quarter of CEN
fury, than they endured when the shackles
of slavery oppressed them. He owes them
everything. They owe him nothing but a
strong, vigorous kick, as rebuke aud
punishment for his insidious efforts to
break up the Republican party and build
upon its ruins a Malone party. This he
will get, if all signs do not fail, in Novem-
Der next, and his unseemiy career as a poll
tical marplot and conspirator, be effsctual-
ly ended"

MALONE, THE ENEMY OF THE WORKING

MALONE, THE ENEMY OF THE WORKING
MAN.-Tha Richmond State says:-
"The Virginia Workingman has never
had more persistent, bullying enemy than
the creature who now has the assurance to
ask his vote. When he was in power as
the president of the A. NJ. and O. road he
treated the employees on that road SO
brutally that leading member of the
Locomotive Engineers Brotherhood decar-
ed over his name that he had worked on all
the principal roads in the United States,
and the two meanest men to their employees
were William Malone and Jay Gould.
Such treatment wac the act Of a coward
who took advantage of poor laborers' neces
sites. At a salary of twenty five thousand
dollars year he feathered his nest, while
he forced them to take rotten meat for pay.
AS senator he went against the laboring
men every time. In every relation he has
been bitter enemy of workingmen when
he had them in his power"

"Brother Shepperd will fiud that the
people of Virginia are not for sale That

"Mahonsism, in fact, exposed itself psst-
ty thoroughly last Saturday. and showed
very plainly that it was Mahoneism pure
aud simple. It showed its weakness, its

animate it, and that it is entitled to moth
