CURRENT NEWS AND COMMENT


Virginia in the days OF readJust'
ment have not forgotten that capt
Lurty was not Que Of them.
General Groner aud his com
nittee are wasting much valuable
time. Thousands OF Republicans
have made up their minds and few
are waiting for further counsel or
direction. Meetings aud speeches
are of 10 avail now. We must
beat Malone for his treason If we
would save Virginia aud the party.
IL is not ouly consistent with
trus VirginiaUism Tor NlrginianS
to vote against MahOue, nor with
true National Repubhclnism to
vote against him, bnt 1t is a VIZ
ginians duty, in oOr opinion, and
the better Republican he Is the
higher the obligation. This is not
the Malone we all thought we
knew so well up to few years
ago.
Frank Hatton says the Virginia
campaign has developed the walk
ing orator TO perfection, Bless
Franks tiny soul Genl. Malone
has monopoly Of that, only he
should say stalking instead OF
walking. Col. Lamb is the only
man We know who makes Malone
his model 10 that style. We hopehe
has quit his bad imitation. 1t is
a style OF oratory that requires
corset citing vest and coat, picker
ed breeches and no. , hoes.

against 1t. why put it this way
To recommit a bill in the Senate Is
considered equivalent to indefinite
postponement. This is the oldest
dodge Of the old stagers when they
when they tear defeat on a vote.

Riddleberger dramatized the
Major Lacy story aud pat it upon
the Loards IN the campaign Of 1881,
carrying it throughout the State
Major Lacy, himself, told the whole
story to the writer, and afterwards
laughed very heartily WREN he
saw it enacted at SpOttsylvania.--
Major Lacy then, however, men
toned Rev. J. Vim. jones' as
third hearer OF this talk of Genh
Lees, and also placed the name Of
Gordon before Malone. The
writer told 1t a hundred times
without onitiDg any Of the parties

will recOllect it.

General Mahoae's circu ar directs
the appointment Of three men at
each precinct 10 bring in voters e.,
To whom he will pay 10 cents a
day. aud 3 cents per head for each
voter registered. THIS is a boom

are registered and all at the polls
THIS leaves nothing for the Dem
Gratis to do but get in their work.
Bot this is not the view to take
of the matter. A man who will start
out to organize personal party
in this corrupt way IS not fit to be
governor OF Virginia. 1t is intend
ed to breed Illegal registration and
voting, especially in the Black Belt
aud makes money more powerful
than men.
