that the statement Is untrue. Inc hepuo-
licans have fought in Congress measures
for educating the people simply because |
thoy are not willing For the races 20 be
educated separately, and here the speaker
brought forth the record OF Mr. Burrows,
Mshone's importation 10 Virginia, VINO
voted in the House Of Representatives
against educational measures because the
whites and blacks were to be educated
separately. And the Republicans say
they don't want social equality. but that
is Just what they are working for"
wnrTE MEMS MONEY AND MICRO CHILDREN
Continuing his argument on the school
question, Mr.. Massey said in substance:
Is there any Just reason why the best
people of Virginia should be taxed tor the
purpose of educating negroes, who az soon
thcv are entitled to vote are banded against |
thom? Ont Of S401. coo raised this year for
school purposes, $4,000 was paid by the
whites and only 500 900 bv the negroes"
lie was in favor Of educating the colCred
pcople. but only out Of the money paid by
them for that purpose. But there VIII be
no objection if sherman, Foraker, and
other South-haters chose to contribute 10
thisjcause.
COULDN'T DRIVE THEI.
"'But' saba friend Of mino short time
ago. won't this policy of harping on the
NEGRO drive them away from You IN the
clcctions' 7 replied TO hun, How can
they be driven away when they are not
hcre?' But still it ought 10 fix unchanged
bly, the vote OF every white man.
no OBJECTION.
| don't see. said the speaker. how Ma
hone could object TO his children gong TO
school with negroes. He should not when
he makes his living out OF them. Mahone
could. if he would, teach one OF the
schools. But that wouldn't do. as morality
if nothing more-should be taught. and
Malone couldn't teach that lAppiause.I

WHY IT WAS sPTST
General Malone would be n very re-
mnrkaJlc man If he didn't say some things
which were true
He spoke of the present increase Of State
expenses as compared with those OF Came
ron's administration. But there are a lew
things that Malone mint speak about. Inc
APPROPRIATION 20 the Soldiers Home and
So 200 paid last year to the manned and
disabled soldiers Is not mentioned by him.
But then Malone evidently doesn't Ike
soldiers. Only the other day the speaker
heard o veteran talking on the tram; ne
said when he went 10 General Lees head
quarters during the war he walked in IKE
q man. but when he went TO Malone tent
be had TO take OF his hat and DIDN'T dare
TO take q seat.
Mr.. Massey wanted 10 see al old soldiers
cared for. lie had nothing to say against
the pensioning of cx-Federals. but thought
il was also well not to forget those nearer
home.
NOT MENTIONED.
Mr.. Massey then continued to enumc-
rate some expenditures Of state money
which Malone didn't care 20 specify. lhey
are he appropriations for the new central
and Southwestern asylums, judgment OF
SIS, 900 procured against the State on ac-
count Of the acton Of Malone IN the Ken
dall matter He told Of how the contract
for the asylum at Petersburg was gwen to
o man who hid $4,000 more than COM
petitor, and how Elssan lthe competitor /
sued the State and gained his case, thus
suhiecting the State to total loss OF
$4,000.
CLOSER IHAN A BROTHER.
"Who sticks closer than a brother?'
continued the speaker. Il don't know
unless it is q brother-in-law. Brown Allen
had br0ther-in-law named Hamilton. lie
gave him the task of collecting taxes from
a railroad on commission Of 20 per cent.
against al law and Precedent. And when
General Mickham notified Allen that he
was going to pay the taxes in Richmond,
Hamilton came down from stanton to re-
'cpive them, and actually had the audacity
to charge the State with his expenses III
addition to his fee, which amounted TO
$4,000
CONTBADICTs HIMSELF.
General Malone is proclailuins to the
world that the State debt is increasing at
the rate Cf ~ 100000 per year. Malone
never made the same statement twice !
about the debt When he owned the u hig
he put the debt at Sl5,0O0000. Later he
said il was S2l, 100000 but when be figured
Mt il he made It S23, 900. And now Ma
hone says he viii II elected Governor be
able to settle the debt quickly. Probably
there j. as much truth III this 0s III his
other statements.
THE KICKERs.
You have had in the city of Richmond
recently a remarkable gathering who made
some remal kable utterances. There were
about 200 OF these kickers here, and yet
Malone says he can count all of them on
the fingers Of one hand. If the respecta-
bic Republicans of Virginia can't take Ma
hone how can you take him:
THE LAST INTERVIEW.
General Malone and myself, continued
Mr.. Massey, We're associated together III
an endeavOr to settle the State debt. In
Nav preceding CamerOn's nomination we
had a conference, ut which the following
conversation took place: General Malone
opened by saving: 70 my utter surprise
Billy Cameron has aspirations for the gov
ernorship. What has he done to deserve
it, When you Massey were canyassing
Virginia alone and ut your own expense,
and carried the State, Cameron couldn't be
gotten 10 canvass one county. sixteen
years from now if at all will be time
enough for him to think OF being Cover
nor. And there is little Johnnie Wise.
lie has cot notions in his head. But little .
Johnnie is q good fellow and can be easily
disposed Of. II the people are let alone
there will be but one name (yours) before
the convention and YOU Will be nominated
by acclamatiOn. But continued Gene
raj Malone. these two Wise and Came
ROM have pledged themselves to 90 with
me wherever | 90 and to be with me what
ever ! do, and want you to promise the
same"
General Mahone," replied. ~ hope
you are not going TO do ANYTHING do not
approve of or 90 anywhereI would not 60,
but that is promise | will make no man"
That was the last time | ever spoke TO
Malone, and he has been against me ever
since.
JUDGE LYBRO0K.
short time since Judge Lybrook in
trOduced me in handsome style to an as
semblage of voters in his county. In doing
so he stated that he could only support the
tail of the Republican gubernatorial ticket.
During my remarks | took occasion to give
Lynrook rebuke, telling him that / was
surprised that man of his standing would
follow the tail of an animal whose head
was so dirty he couldn't touch it.
And there is Judge in Franklin county
commonly known as the lizard judge. II
Tom Claiborne can't support Malone how
can any decent man support him!
THE INDICTMENT.
Mr.. Massey now read the charges against
Malone as formulated in the kickers' "
address. When he came to the charge that
he (Mahonc) had corrupted and de-
bauched the Republican party, he said
he felt like the old man in the church
who was in the habit of expressing
bis appreciation of what the min
lister said by calling out Amen" The
congregation objected TO this, and he was
warned that it must be stopped One day
the minister said something which the old
