Hon. H. w. Blair.


United States Senator H. w Blair, of
New Hampshire. spoke in the Skating
Rink, on Tuesday night to a well-flled
house of our citizens, of all political
persuasions. His object was to aid in
the election of Gen Malone, under the
delusion that he is a Republican. The
speech was an able exposition of the
tariff and the Blair Educational Bill, and
a general discussion of Republican poll
cies. We did not hear it. but learn it
was very entertaining and instructive
and was carefully listened to. Mr.. Blair
is one of the original thinkers of the
times-conscientious in his views and
logical and forceful i'll his arguments.
He is gentleman for whom we have a
high admiration, and who naturally has
no use for such political Adventures as
Malone, but being under the impression
that the contention in this State is
between Republicanism and Democracy
as he understands them, he delivered an
able Republican speech. He had spoken
on Mondayat Lovingston, and last week
at Pulaski and Radford to large au-
diences. He will always receive friend
ly greeting from the people of Virginia,
regardless of party.
The Washington correspondents of
eastern papers are giving tn tip for the
loss OF good pile of money on the Vir-

ginia by from 10000 to 15,000-that Bar

money line-that Barbour is very much
disheartened-that Malone has all the
money he wants, and will buy enough
white voters to secure a large majority
This kind of rot is sent out column

Mahone's Washington literary bureau
is busy sending ont sensational state
ments about his certain election if not
defrauded, and that 'if' is a saving
clause. He will be defeated by the votes
of at least 10000 majority of unpur-
chased and unpurchasable Virginia free
men.
1t would have been intensely interest
ing to the Republicans of Staunton and
Augusta, if Col. Allen had told how
many Mahoneites 'stood shoulder to
shoulder" in his meetings in Rock bridge,
and what the Col said of Malone at
Fairfield.

Senator Blair admitted at the Rink,
that Malone did not vote for the Blair

litical gamblers, whether Democrats or
Republicans.
The Tissue ballot was used by Malone

Malone has kept hundreds of Demo |

should go to Republicans.
The way to secure free ballot and a
fair count is to vote for personal liberty
of thought and action.
Political disclaimers, who abuse Ma
hone in private, are loudest in his praises
on the hustings.
The Tissue ballot charge has teen

never disproved.
Remember that Malone is not an adj |
