hone will be Overwhelmingly defeat
ed. Malone had said a man could eat
crow and call IL Antolan. This, the
speaker said. might be so. He could not
take "a buzzard ticket He announced his
intention to vote for Slcmp and Lurty. and
said the Democrats would get no consola-
tion out Of him. Had Lamb been nomi-
mated hc should have voted for him, ana Tor
WYATT NJ. Elliott he would have stumpcd
the state. The trouble, in large measure,
was that Malone was surrounded 10y men
who tri;ied with his vanity and did not
deal with him az sQuarely as they should.
He gave Malone q very severe scoring, but
in other respects his speech was quite con-
scrvatyc.
Mr.. Wise rejoiccd that he came into the
Republican party. II was alleged that nc
did so through passion, but be was now
Republican from principle. ana intended
20 remain so hcnccfOrth. aud no Democrat
could pun hiid out. he looked upon VIZ
ginia rs State in which every cause opc-
rates in favor Of Rcpublicanism;
This was no happy reunion, but most
dcplorable occasion for the Repuollcan
party of the State; Vet ne thought n best
for the party that the issue should pe
souarcly made aud let Mahoneism, when
is IN no sense Rcpublicanism, be crushed
forever. Tor many years he believed Ma
hone TO be a disintercstcd server OF the
State and o true friend OF his. but now he
believed neither.
STRUCTURE or MALONE.
In opening his speech Mr.. Wise offered a
long declaration 20 which he proposed that
the names Of all present should be- signed
plcdgiug themselves 20 work against Ma
hone. The first few paragraphs give an
idea Of the character Of the paper.
General William Malone has made man
F. l. l. hot l1l anHl and
aims as leader Of the Republican party Of
Virginia are purely selfish, and not for the
benefit of the party OF the state. lie has
demonstrated IN many campaigns an utter
inrapacItt 10 reconcile dlscOrd or % cOun-
sci or secure the harmony indispensable to
any victory. and has constantly tomented
d.scords leading % defeat after defeat,
He is so intOlorant of difference with ms
own views and so Jealous and vindlctiye
towards his opponents in the party that a
victory for him would only mean defeat
and punishment 10 them and 10 every Re
publican who has not been lls bind tool
and uureaeoning follower. He is response
Bile alone for the plan of organization wmch
constitutes him autocrat of the party and
destroys all popular voice, &C., @c.
