proof of the advances, and ravages
IF this power, behold the order

from Headquarters by one " ana
asker who is clothed with little

times larger than BiIlMahone's. AS
another proof Of the dangerous en-
croacl ments and u.urpations OF this
centripetal power, now Installed IN
command at Washington, look at
the case of the State Of California
against Nagle.
By the command IF another one
Of Harrison'5 ADVISORS, Miller, whose
sou! is not so large as Wanamaker's,
this man Nlgle a deputy United
States marshal, fellows Federal
Judge across the continent; and Il
citizen Of the State Of California st
hotel, slaps the Federal judge in
the face simply to insult, thereupon
Nagle draws his pistol and shoots
tie citizen dead in his tracks with
out cause or proyOCatiOn as to him
In steps The u. S. government, the
government of Washington, JefTeC-
son, jackson and Lee, no | am mis-
taken, the government OF Grant,
Harrison and Malone, and says to
Il sovereign state of California, it
is sure n agile violated your laws and
tramp,e them under foot and killed
your cit zen but he was ordered by
authority from headquarters to pro
tcct judge Fields, and besides lie is
a Federal official, and cal Violate
your Lass and kill your cit.zeas with
inpunity, and you have no jurisdic-
ton IN the matter, and you mus: not
lay your hands upon HIM.
And Bill Malone endorsed all
this and said it was right. In other
words, one of yOIr citizens may
think himself wropged by Judge
Bond, and no doubt many have been;
as well as yOaT constitution and the
constitution Of the UNION and may at
a saloon, hotel, en- the cars or else>
where, it matters not, insult the
Judge 10y splitting in his face, slap
ping his jaws, pjaching his ears, or
by making ugly faces at him; there
upon up steps Federal, attacks and
kills your citizen for the insult given
the Judge. Ma. Harrison and bis
party say the attack is guilty Of no
crime, and so says Bill Malone by
his alliance with Qlay, Clarkson,
and Ben Harrison And so says
every man in Virginia who votes for
Malone. | would prefer to vote for
the blacklist negro in the State and
would feel like the white woman IL
Mississippi who married a negro, land
upon being Qulzz:d by a Yankee
Why she married a negro instead of
white man said: 'Umph. done
heap better than my sister she tuck

Now l say Judge Fields ought to
have killed ex-Judge Terry, but no
other man on earth would have been
eXcusable or justified.
How can eny VirginiaD vote for
Malone and preserve his self respect.
and be fit to sh1ke hands with his
wife or daughter, who has farmed an
alliance both offensive and defensive
With her bit'erest and most deadly
enemies, with the enemies not only
of Virginia but Of the entire South,
with the enemies Of the constitution
of the Federal union as framed prin-
cipally By Virginia patriotism and
craftsmanship, with the enemies OF
his own blood and race, and his own
country and home! it is hard to
comprehend how any white man
born and raised in the State car
make up his mind to support the re
publican party with Malone at its
head But as Peter said Of some o.
Paurs writings, they are hard to be
understood. With you it is DOT ;
question as to whether one of two
gentlemen Of different political faitl
