4 FOXY MANIFESTO.

For a statesman who carries brevity t.
the length of signing on hotel registers
S'Mahone, Va" Chairman VIM. Malone is
out in manifesto of extraordinary length
He gives the members of the Republi
can party reasons and directions for Austen
ton from placing Republican candidates
for the legislature in the field alleging
that their votes will not be counted
and many other of similar v9racity
He does not allude once O the
real reason that the party is split
into two factions and that Malone
candidate OF q ''Kicker'' candidate would
be literally knitted by the Republican voter
on the other side Of the family fight The
condensed English of this manifesto is
this:
''Our divided party has not ghost of q
chance to elect anybody this fall. Let us
play again the game of 1877; put up no can
didates of our own, and see if the Demo
cratic Alliance men won't split off in 1891
as the Democratic Readjusters did in 1877.
MALONE,
Chairman
And now if the Democrats in and out of
the Farmers Alliance will show ordinary
wisdom, ''Mahone, Va.," will have set his
snare in vain. A cool head is worth a
great deal of money in Virginia politics
just now.
