Mahone's Supporters
Who are the persons who favor the
election Of WILLIAM MAHoSF to be Gov
ernor Of Virginia? Look at hisrecord as it
has been presented by US and by others,
and answer the question yourselves. Can
you take the risk Of olecting a man whom
you know 20 be utterly unscrupulousy One
single fact ought 10 deter every true
white man from voting for him-namely.
the fact that without the support of the
negroes MAHoSE would be III so hopeless "a
minority that hcwould not dream Of being
a candidate. No Mah0neite who has "a
4 reputation for veracity 20 preserve will
deny that fact The MALONE party Is
certainly q negro party # that Is a
negro party whose very existence is de-
pendent upon the votes Of negroes, and IN
whose membership the negro element
largely prc3ominatcs. Take this city as an
illustration ln lsSG. there were cast here
14.47l votes. or these s.2OG were cast for
CLEVELAND and G,2C7 for HARRISON; and OF
the votes cast for CLEvrLAND more than
eight thousand were cast by white men.
whilst of those cast for UMEIsON we can
rafelv that more than FIVE thousand were
cast 10y negroes. Walk the streets, consult

Controvert Your views rs "a Democrat II
need no ghost 90 come from the grave to
tell the white men Of Richmond that Ma
HONE has little strength here amongst the
whites.
Again The northern men who support
MALONE are enemies If the southern pco-
pie Amongst his northern allies are % be
found the most malignant of the South
hatcrs. Few indeed aye the true friend,
whom our section can claim in the North
outside the pale of the Democratic party.
IT We travel ~ the New England States, or
the northwestern States. or elsewhere IN
the North, we expect 90 meet with a SYM
pathizug friend in almost every Democrat
and with AN enemy IN almost every Repub-
lcan. Those white enemies north Of
Mason a DIxoN's line are tEc men VINO stir
up strife between whites and blacks in the
South. aud 10 whose efforts IS due the
hostile attitude which the negroes here
maintain towards their white employers.
john SEEEWAN is one of MAHoNEs warm
st supporters. lie IL was who said once
that anything was justiGable in law or
morals that would enable the Republicans
q defeat the Democrats lie has been the
lifelong prosecutor Of the sunny South.
Before the war between the States began
h. was numbered amongst the bitterest re-
vilers of her men and her institutions. For
more than thirty years h. has been at an
times ready and willing 20 cripple this fair
portion of our common Inheritance. lie
j. a malignant of the worst type. He was
invited 70 this State "a few years ago 10y
MALONE. fIc came and spoke even in Rich
mond against the party represented here
as above stated, 10y eight thousand white
men and for the party represented by more
than FIVE thousand negroes
FoRAKEG j. another Of MAHONE's allies
and an unrelcnting enemy of everything
distinctively southern. He Is the man who
raised such a clamor in his official capacity
against allowing the Confederate flags to
b. restored TO the rebels" that even Mr..
CLEVELAND bent before the storm of vitu-
peration and threatenings, and refused TO
allow the flags To be restored 10 the per
sons entitled to them. FoEAELg also was a
few years ago invited to Virginia by Ma
HONE, and came as far as Charlottesville
whence he soon made tracks for Ohio
for what reason has never been revealed so
far as we know. He il now engaged in
stumping Ohio in his own interest as
candidate for reelection as Governor. In
that campaign he has never kind word
for the rebels He fayors national
elcction-law. II he can have his way The
South will under such law be remandcd
10 the tender mercies of the negroes, car
pet-baggers, and scalawags.
REED, of Maine, il another ally of Ma
HOMES, and of course is deeply hostile to
the southern Democracy, or. il other
words, to the southern white men. He.
too, is an advocate of the policy of
having all congressional elections conduct
ed from Washington. The States are 10 be
mere satrapies. The principal election
officers will be appointed by the President
of the United States. In this State these
officers would Of course be designated by
MALONE. Then he would rule us with a
rod of iron. He would take vengeance
upon the white people of Virginia for
having refused 10 how the knee to him.
lie would push through the State Legisla-
ture all his destructive measures. There
is no telling what diabolical schemes he
has matured in his own mind as means of
humiliating the real people Of this old
Commonwealth.
So that whether you search through the
North or through the South, you will find
that the real friends of the white people
the only real advocates Of white supremacy
and white rule-are Democrats. You will
find that the negroes are nearly all Repub-
licans, or rather mere tools of such Repub-
hcans as MALONE.
-Four weeks from to-day the people Of
Virginia will be called upon to decide as
between their friends and their enemies as
represented respectively by Mckinney and
MALONE. Can there be any doubt as to the
result!
