WILL MOL SUPPORT MALONE.
The valley yirginian SAYS Why It Will
Not.

The VaHey VirginidH. uiepublican)
OF Stanton. comes out III the Issue OF
Yesterday against Malone.
The VirginidH will not support Cen
eral Malone for Governor, Tor the fol-
lowing. among other reasons:
The body that nominated him was not
a Republican Convention, representing
the sentiment Of the party IN the State.
The primary meetings were not repre-
sentative of the sentiment OF the party
in the precincts
The County Conventions were not re-
preventative of the sentiment of rir,
party IN the counties;
They were all engineered by Malone
through his self perpetuating plan OF
organization. to suppress popular sentl-
ment and record his wishes in the nomi
nation for Governor that was presented
at Norfolk.
His nomination makes the issue, the
People against Malone. and precludes
the discussion OF the economic questions.
State and National. which might have
been fairly and properly considered dur
ing the campaign.
HIS election would. we believe. be a
calamity to the Commonwealth. IN that
it would paralyze industrial progress
arrest the inflow of tine capital and en-
terprlse: and inaugurate reign Of hate
and revenge that would disturb aud az.
era, ate every relation of business and
every influence that contemplates the
material progress of the State.
If elected he would not. in our jldg-
ment. hesitate one moment 90 prostitute
the dearest interests Of the State 10 his
own personal ends and ambition. just as
he has pr0stituted the Interests OF the
Republican party.
Ii would be a menace to the Republi-
can rarity of the Nation, IN that 1T
would be an endorsement OF boss'sfn.
through the aid of the chairman of the
National Committee. and revive the ma
licn influence that on former occasions
has threatened the disruption of the
party. but which has been reDuked by
the people. as often as 10 has been pre-
scented before them.
His defeat would be- a protest against
his self-perpeiulilng plan ot orlan.zl-
ton. To which he owe, hi. nomination

that the supply would be exhausted be-
