THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1889.
Quay and Malone.

Mr.. QUAY, the chairman OF tne me-
publican National Committee, is expect
ed to furnish to General MAHoSE
thousands of dollars to aid the latter TO
become the ruler OF the State of Nir-
GINA. OF course, MALONE endorses
QuAYs policy. and has promised TO make
all the Republican congressman from
Virginia whom he can control stand by
OrAYs measures IL the National House
of Representatives and QUAY's methods
of accomplishing political results
Quay would as soon furnish cam
paign money to a Democrat as to pre-
tended Republican who would not agree
TO be bqssed by Quay as MNHoNE's
henchmen are bossed by MALONE In a
word, MALONE is a lit,le boss, whilst
Quay is a big boss MALONE issues or
ders only to his small gang Of Virginia
whites backed up by more than hun
dred thousand negroes. whilst Quay is
sues orders to nearly half the white men
in the nation.
We all know that the negroes have no
State pride. They constitute a large
majority of the little bosss followers,
and are oil in full sympathy with Quay
in his efforts 10 humiliato the southern
people and bind them again in the chains
which they threw off IN 1877, when
HAYES was made President and the car
pct baggers and scnlawags we're COM
PEELED TO surrender South Carolina and
Louisiana to the true men of those
States. The white men in MAHOSE's
party are not 80 open as the negroes IN
their declarations Of n desire to see the
elections in the southern States placed
under the control of Republican Off
Gals. but of course they are at heart
Just as DESTROYS rs their negro allies Of
seeing QUAY's policy adopted by the
next Congress, and the southern States
reduced again TO the condition of Sd
trapies, governed from Washington
through negroes and unprincipled adj
venturers.
But is this QUAY's policy? Is it his
purpose to compel MALONE and all the
other southern Bepubhcan leaders to
whom he disburses campaign funds to
desert their own section and take sides
with tho enemies Of this section There
need not be any doubt felt upon this
question. There is no room for doubt
We have only to read the proceedings Of
the PENNSYLVANIA Republican State Con-
vention held few weeks ago to learn
exactly what sort of work Quay requires
and will continue TO require at the hands
of his subseryient tools in the South.
The platform adopted by that conven-
ton reeks with hatred OF the South.
Here Is one Of the reasons which QUAY's
most obsequious henchmen-those,
namely, in Pennsylvanis-give for sup
porting the Administration of Mr.. HAIR
RIsOS:
because it aims to secure by ade-
Quatc legislation protection against the
offences OF suppressed and miscounted
ballots, or perverted returns and false
certificates Of election, and of murder
Gus methods Of maintaining the insuiier-
able wrongs which now stain the records
of southern States and touch the honor
of the southern people, making of cleo
tons in most of them a fraud or farce,
whose fruits are a large body OF Demo
cratic usurpers now assuming to repro
sent those States III the legislative halls
of the nation.
This language is so plain that there is
no such thing as mistaking its mean
ing. Quay is bent upon having a
national election-law. In Virginia he is
70 have the support in securing such a
law Of the originator of the tissue bal
lots. And what DO QUAY and MAHoNB
purpose TO do in respect OF this matter p?
Nothing less infamous than to have ne
groes and other partisan election officers
appointed under national law TO make
the returns Of all congressional cleo
tons in the South correspond with the
census returns That is to say, in every
negro county in Virginia or any other
southern State majority of the votes
must be returned for the Republican or
negro candidate for Congress.
Read. too the libels which MAHoNE's
boss, QUAY, applies to the southern peo-
pie. Suppressed and miscounted bal
lots and perverted returns and false
certificates Of election" this miserable
QuAY, backed by the worse though
smaller, MALONE, lays to the charge OF
Che best people in the South. These
hbels are repeated by the negroes in
their negro meetings and in their negro
organs, aud the mass Of the negroes are
thus taught TO believe that the leading
men of the superior race are notorious
iaw-breakers.
VIII our people allow Quay and Ma
TONE 10 tell the next Congress that Viz
ginia hos declared in favor Of national
clection-law? II we elect MALONE
Governor a national election-law viii
certainly be passed il the Republicans
shall find themselves strong enough
in the House OF Representatives to
pass such law. The Senate and the
President -ondorsers OF Quay and Ma
HoSE--are ready even now for the in
famous work.
The Next House.
The election OF a Democrat In the
