The VALLEY Virginian, the leading and
aost influential republican newspaper pub
lished in Virginia, closes an active aud Wig
orous campaign against Gen. Malone as fol
lows:
Honestly believing that Gen. Malone is
not qualified for the impartial discharge OF
the grave duties Of Governor of Virginia
believing that he is corrupt, malignant ana
revengeful to an insane degree, and that his
election would prove an absolute calamity
to the State, as we'll as to the republican
party, we have opposed him. In this we
have nothing to regret. We would do the
same thing over again, under similar cir
cumstances, because of q sense of duty to
the position we occupy"
When Virginia republicans talk this way
about Gen. Mahone,it can hardly be possible
that any self respecting end reputable man,
or any other sort of man interested in the
welfare ofvirginia, VINO has heretofore voted
the democratic ticket, will cast bis ballot
for the General next Tuesday.

the fact that Judge Wood Of that State who

votes, and who subsequently reversed that
decision and decided IL Was not, unleas 1t
could be proved that its Instructions had

from Attorney General Miller, upon whom
it was refscted By President Harrison It
Is understood tue whole matter will be ex
posed. No wonder the President doesn't
invite Col. Dudley to dine with him. He
naturally thinks that all he owed the Colonel
was paid when he kept him out of the peni

Judge Perkins of Kansas, who has been
stumping for Gen. Malone in Virginia, has

the fact that tavern keeper at Orange C.

bis patrons would be in no danger of drink

does not mention the fact that by the con-
sttution Of his State no ex-CoDfederate can
vote there until his disabilities shall have
been removed by an act of the legislature.
