A straightout Republicans Views.

To the Republican Voters of the Eighth Con-
qressional District of Virginia
A circular is being widely circulated,
signed By o. E. Hine, crilicising the COM
mittee appointed to issue an address to the
republican votsrs of the district. The com-
mittee was appointed by the straightout re
publlcans on the adjournment of the Man
assas convention The charges Major H'ne
makts against the rest Of the committee /
cannot answer, to7 admit that voted Tor
the de eg4te from MI district, tut say he
BETRAYED the confidence / had In him ss
republican by casting his vote at the coz
yention in favor of the independent demo-
cratic candidate Claim that 1t Ia dishonora-
BILE for shy usn or set OF men to undertake
to deprive the republicans Of the district o.
the right to vote for Iaau to represent their
principles ia ths 52I Congress, and also
claim that Malone was traitor to the
principles of the republican party when ne
advised non action Ia his private circular let
,ers 10 his trusted ieutenants alter express
ing his willingness to leave it to the people.
I expected to hear some of the prominent
gentleman at the convention state why we
should not be allowed to cast our vote for
man who was in sympathy with the princi-
oles OF the republican party, but the only
reason offered was By one delegate, that he
was tired Of putting up money and working
for nothing tired Of putting up good men
and having them shot down by Lee. Ii
m, kee no lT,rence to me If am to be shot
| ~ the enemy, who fires the shot. IL will
hurt none the worse If fred by general
ubsn pr.v6te III have been rightly in
| ormed the msj Or has been playing with the
| ienocrstio oBrs for some time and Will
probably make good oarsman Tor Inc re-
| form candidate, but it Is 30 use Major, TO
! steer up GOWN, for there are no republicans
here who will mind ycur pleadinRs NOS to
suurn the oversures made to them by the
liberals I doesn't look very liberal when the
Independent candidate aud his few independ-
ent foil wers want The epubiicans to sacrifice
their principles and join them 10 reforming
the d-moora ic Larry. They want The NIL
noriy to ruie the majority. II the
against charges be true the reformers make
Gen Lee, tha independents knew them
wo yrs,s spd foor years ago. Why did
hey support him then and now belt End cry
reform. re!or n II they ere tired OF the
,rickety, fraud aud Chlneee methods that
they CAIN exit in their psrty, Why don't
thew leave it? We @iil welcome them on
con6ition shat they fellow but not attempt
to Lad, ior 70 ora tifed of being led by -uch
leaders. . u sorry that SO many @eu voc
call themselves republicans sre being led CT
into s,.snge ompapy. Evil communities
tions corrupt COED manners. Bad company
makes bad msn. have bean Informed that
Mr.. Hire di5 not vote fur man 90 the TT
publican ticket lest fall because Mshoue
was on it, bpC he now paddles the canoe and
dances while Mahone whistles bis tune and
BEATS ime with his foo, for him to follow
the reformers of the democratic party. l
