ADMINISTRATION INI'ERFER ENCE
IN VIRGINIA.

In referring to the report that President
Harrison will not attempt to aid in the re-
election of Mr.. Evarts as Z. S. Senator
from New Y DIRK, the Milwaukee Sentinel,
(Rep.), says: ''That is all right. Let the
people of New Y DIRK manage their own af-
fairs free from Administration interfer-
ence." That ought to be the doctrine for
every State, but it can be reversed in Vir-
ginia without exciting Republican COM
ment. Here Harrison has interfered with
the affairs of the people to the extent OF
backing Malone with all the patronage of
his administration in order to debauch the
voters of the State and elect him. The Of
ficials of the administration ale securing
the State over, making speeches for Malone
indeed, about his whole home oratorical
campaign force is composed of Federal Off
cials-U. S. Marshall Farr, Revenue Col!ec-
tor McCaul, District Attorney Craig, and
Deputy Collector Brown Allen. No man
saw such scene of Federal Interference in
State affairs during Cleveland's admins
tratlon, either by the President OF by Fed
eral officials.

Gen. VIM. Skeen OF Allegheny, a promi-
nent member of the Republican party, who
spoke in Staunton Sept. 23d, in opposition
to Malone, is out in a letter in the Allie
ghany Sentinel defining his position. In
it he states, as he stated in Staunton, that
he is a Republican from principle, and goes
on to say that if there was Republican
candidate in the field for Governor he
would vote for him, and if between now
and election day a Republican and man of
character shall be put up by represen-
tative Republican convention he will
certainly vote for him and support him
with all his ability. As there is none in
the field now, and as convention of over
a thousand of the most intelligent men of
the Democratic party have ''honorably NOM
mated Virginian and a gentleman, P. w.
Mckinney" he will vote for him. If in
the future, Gen. Skeen says, 1.-The Republi-
can party of Virginia-not Mahone's
spaniels-shall nominate candidate Of
character" he will support him with all his
might and main. The General made a
speech at Warm Springs last week uttering
similar sentiments.

VLRGLNLA'S FOREIGN WAR.

1t appears that the people of Virginia
are to have school teachers from abroad in
large numbers, to teach them about theiI
State politics. Gen. Malone is having the
assistance of Congressman Houck Of Ten
nessee, Congressman j. G.. Burrows of
Michigan, John Barbiere of Philadelphia
w. c. Plummer Of. Dakota,an MI. E.
G. Darlington and MI. Pat. O'Farrall of
Washington, in informing the people. Con
gresham Mckinley of Ohio, is expected
later on. This might be called Virginia IS
foreign wharf.-the British bondholders, the
foreign congressman, and the Federal offic-
ials are camped before her gates.

ANOTHER WORD OF WARNLNG

The Democrats of Virginia cannot be
reminded too often that this campaign is a
fight. not walk over. Gen. Malone is
never to be deSpiSed as al enemy. least of
all when he is a candidate in person. He
is fighting this campaign to the best of his
ability and that is saying a good deal. The
hopes based by Democrats on the Republic
can split are full of danger. If they bring
over-confidence and inactivity, as they are
doing, they contain not only danger but
defeat There are hardly twenty days in
which work may be done, yet remaining be-
fore election day. and what has been done :?
Mr. Barbour and the Executive Com
mittee may lay out the work; MI. Lynn
and the County Committee may arrange its
details, but if the Precinct Chairmen and
Precinct Committeeman of Augusta coun-
ty do not do that work it will come to
naught.
1t is seldom that SO short a time in td
vance of an election there is so little stir
in Augusta; so few clubs at work as there
are now.
And yet the fate of the Democratic party
in Virginia is held in the twenty days to
come.
Since writing this, we find in the Rich
mond Dispatch letter from its Petersburg
correspondent, saying that a conference
was held there Sunday night at Gen. Ma
homes residence between Assistant Post
master General Clarkson, the Administra
ton headsman, and Gen. Malone, who had.
returned to the city that morning for the
purpose The correspondent adds:
eff it were possible for the Democrats of
Virginia to learn one half of what transpires
at the Republican headquarters in this city, or
to be informed of the names of all the men
who visit there, it would incte them to even
greater efforts to save the old Commonwealth
from the fate that threatens her.

THE ANGELS TAKING A HAND.

One of the most curious political appeals
curious to those who do not understand
the spiritual ideas of Il majority of the col
ored people-has just been issued to the
Negro voters of Alexandria county, by j.
H. Lob, a Malone man. He reminds them
that the spirits of George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln, and U. S. Grant, ale in
heaven watching them in the coming cleo
ton, and adds:
''They are angels in heaven, and call upon
you to do your duty manfully. Let no future
political promise, no filthy lucre waive your
manhood. Eyes are upon you. On the day OF
calling your spirit to the kingdom of heaven
they will be there to meet you and greet you
upon the golden path with an everlasting life,
for the life and principles so cheerfully given
you through the days of the Republican party,
with party manifestations and their great good
and pure friendship.

AGAINST CANDIDATE
MALONE.

The anti Malone conference at Rich
mond adopted a brief, but one of the most
trenchant indictments against Candidate
Malone as a manager of his party that we
have ever seen. While reading it, a free
Democrat who has none of these things to
complain of can well put question to him
self based on this expose of the General 5
fecolections of Gen. Mahone's autocratic
rule of the State in 1872. He can ask
himself whether it is not of the last i'm
portance that he should not only see that
his own vote is given in November against
the candidate of the Malone faction, but
also see that his neighbors give theirs ?
Here is the Indictment
We Republicans from all parts of Virginia
in conference assembled, declare that Will
liam Malone
l. Made it impossible for the Norfolk ticket
to be elected.
g He has deceived the national committee
by pretended compromise, the conditions of
which he has not only made no effort to carry
out, but violated both in letter and spirit
g. He has taken from the Republican party
their plan of organization which was found
ed on the will of the people,
4. He has adopted plan of organization of
his own, which is both hateful and tyrran-
meal.
3. He has driven from the councils of the
party the ablest and most popular men in it.
6. He has removed county chairmen in order
to pack conventions to do his will.
Z. He has tried to force the unit rule to ear
ny delegations to the national conventions to
represent him and not the people.
8. He has refused to abide the decisions of
the national Republican party in convention
assembled
8. He has refused to hear any grievances,
and treated our overtures for peace with con-
tempt.
10. He has placed himself at the head of a
ticket and labeled it Republican, without the
consent of the Republican mass.
H. He has debauched the party and made
loyalty matter of merchandise
u. He has meddled with and in many in
stances dictated county nominations
Is. He has forfeited his right to the conf
dence of the people of Virginia.
II. That the defeat of William Malone is
essential to the salvation of the Republican
party.
Is. That it is the sense of this conference
that no recommendation be made as to the
course to be pursued either by the members
thereof or those throughout the State who are
in sympathy with us; but each voter on elec-
ton day be advised to take the action his indi-
Vidual judgment approves, looking to the end
we all have in view

The C0lored Mans Trouble.
[From the New York Age, colored organ.l

From the New 0fk Age, COlOfed Organ,1
The Republicans of Virginia have placed in
nomination for Governor General William
Malone, who does not disguise the fact that
he considers it too soon toggive colored Re-
publicans an equal chance in the party with
white men.
The Republicans of Mississippi have placed
in nomination General James r.. Chalmers,
whose massacre of colored soldiers at Fort
Pillow was one of the most infamous Incl
dents of the war, and who somersaulted into
the Republican party after his disgra ceful
record as a Democratic politician made his
further preferment in that corrupt and dis
graceful party an impossibility. When the
Democratic party of Mississippi spews out
anything, whoever takes it up must be in a
bad way
The Republican party of the South is de-
moraliZed. When colored men are called
upon to decide between four such men, Gen
Malone and Gen. chalmers and their Demo-
cratic opponents, surely their position is a
pitiable one They should not be subjected
to such test of their Republican faith and
principles.

The Magic City, of Roanoke, as it
seems to us, owes MI. Jas. A. Pugh of the
Roanoke Herald, somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Lately he inaugurated
and engineered meeting there of the Press
Association of the State; got something less
than hundred city and country editors to-
gether, and filled them full of admiration for
the town. Their papers since they got back
home have teemed with columns describing
the birth, growth, enterprise and advanta-
ges of Roanoke, which if paid for simply
as advertising matter would have cost
about $4,000. We question if Roanoke in
all it's history ever got SO much free adver-
Using before.

Ex-senator Riddleberger dates candidate
MahOne's weakness for the British bond
holders, from the time he got into the U. S.
Senate where millionaires did and do abound.
In his paper, the Woodstock Herald of last
Friday he says:
''When Gen. Malone went to the Senate he
became the greatest of the aristocracy He
eXcelled them all. He was the only one who
would not receive a card from constituent,
and had standing orders at the door to send
none. His associates were aristocrats He
soon got to their way of thinking Oh the debt
question. When the Democrats endorsed the
Riddleberger bill at Lynchburg, he was per-
suaded that his opportunity had come to swap
sides, and put himself in line with the great
bond holding aristocracy. He was persuaded
that preferment in any cabinet OF other high
place would be open to Southern man who
would plant himself on such high ground
He fell down and worshipped. He has been
worshipping at that throne ever since. He
does not now expect to be elected Governor,
but he wants to soar into higher empyrean
than ordinary Virginianism. He is looking
for 1892 Good Lord, deliver him -

Judge A. W. c. Nowlin, late editor of
Richmond Wing, some weeks ago declared
for Malone, in a long letter. The reasons he
gives all existed before the election of Pres
ident Harrison, against whom he voted.
and therefore will carry no weight now.
In concluding his letter he says: II will
be arraigned for inconsistency but | care
nothing for that" That is an enviable
frame of mind and one that is important to
a man who takes a step involving such
glaring inconsistency as is contained in
the following expression which the Lynch
burg News says, was written by the Judge
when editor of the Danville Register:
''Another reason why the Democrats should
not consent to Joint discussion is in order that
every man may see for himself the difference
between Democratic audience and a Repub-
can one, and then determine which one he had
rather associate with. If any white man after
having an opportunity of comparing the two,
can determine to cast his lot with the Repub-
lican crowd, he shows deprayity of taste
which proves him eminently fit for his asso-
ciates and which should thoroughly reconcile
the Democrats to the idea of parting company
with him.

WOODSTOCK, Oct Z.
This county seat is noted for the heat
which is displayed on court-days at politi-
cal meetings by the members Of all parties.
In Readjuster- Funder days it was the field
of many an angry debate, and many more
angry fisticuffs. Those two political divis-
ions having passed away, their places have
been taken by three others-the Democrats,
anti-Mahone men and Malone men
equally as pugnacious. The last court-day
here was one which exceeded all that had
preceded it-sO the oldest inhabitants tell
me- The melee arose from an attempt of
the Malone men to bulldoze ex-senator
Riddleberger the leader of the anti-Mahone
Republicans. The history the VINDICA-
TOR gave of it showed that the pluck of the
ex-senator made 1t a failure. In that his
tory, however, there is one thing to be
corrected. 1t stated that Mr.. Riddleberger
in response to an invitation from Z. G.
Darlington Of Washington, to divide time
with him, told that venerable centenarian
to go to well to a place where there has
been no joint discussion worth the name
since the brief one between Dives and Laz-
arus, and in which Col. Dives was SO disas-
trously worsted through the neglect of the
committee to provide water. This is not
correct, the remark was not addressed to
Mr.. Darlington, but to a younger man
standing near Riddleberger at the time.
