gals speak.
SO here we have shown that Mr.. ingalls,
l. not only constant visitor and IN
innate OF Hanna's. but that he Is on
equally good terms with Mir. Joseph
Bryan. the leader Of the Democratic
boilers IN Virginia. Now, take that fact
into consideration. along with the state
mcnt OF the Washington Post that there
Is an understanding between the Chesa-
peako and Ohio Company and other big
railroad corporations OF the country 10
defeat Bryan and elect Mckinley. All
Of our people who have not read tho
statement to which we refer would do
well 20 DO so.
They will ind II I'm our issue OF ycster-
day: and VIC may add that the Post IS
very friendly 30 Mr. Ingalls,. Only
week ago II had - editorial puff OF Mr..
Ingalls's Clifton Forge speech.
ii seems to US that President ingalls,
IS rapidly developing into second VIII
liam Malone. observe the line Of Co
Incidence: Malone was at the head Of
great railroad system. SO IS ingalls,.
Malone made liberal use OF the power
OF his position 10 further his political
ends. So does Ingalls,. Malone pro-
rcssed 10 be a Dcmocrat-"a better Dem
ocrat than Ben. Hill" ingalls, processes
TO be Mckinley Democrat-and we
know from tho reference he made TO
John W. Daniel at the Academy Of Music
meeting that he thinks ne is a better
Democrat than Daniel. Again: Malone
was enabled to gain power and do
ninion in Virginia. because at first our
voters could not imagine that beneath
Mahone's patriotic pretences there could
be aucht Of selashness. ingalls, and his
coalition VIII gain power too--if our
people are stupid enough to believe that
bo has come amongst US from the North
rs a missionary intent upon doing MS
good at the sacrifice Of mis- own comfort
and money.
That there IS already a coalition be-
tween the Virginia Republicans and the
Democratic boilers of this State we feel
well satisfied. That an actual agree
ment has been reached between the bolt
ers and the Republicans OF the Third
District we are sure. This agreement
IS to the effect that. If a suitable sound
money Democrat can be got to run for
Congress. the Republicans will make no
nomination here. but VIII throw the
negro vote in favor Of the boilers can
dilate
In short, there's no use in mincing
words-we are confronted by n powerful
coalition. the backbone Of which Is Presi-
dent ingalls,, and this coalition purposes.
we suspect. not only to crush out and
defeat Willie Jones, John Lamb. Sidney
Epes. Peter Otey Jim Hay, j. +. Rixey
! CLAUDE Swanson, Sam Williams, and Harry
Flood; but, II they should be success
! ful this year, viii see to It, as far as
! they are able, that no Democrat OF the
John W. Daniel type shall be sent to
/ the United states Senate next year.
This is the situation, and Hanna and
/ ingalls, and their associates are raising
a large sum Of money TO use upon the
| Democrats Of Virginia and bring them
| into the coalition. Mr.. ingalls,, In his
/ Academy OF Music speech, gravely in
| situated that the elections IN Virginia
are fraudulent; yet he was at that very
time. and IS now, in a combination TO
raise millions Of dollars TO thwart the
| WIN Of the american peoplel This money
and this influence will be felt in Virginia,
/ bat We cannot he made TO believe that
| &c viii accomplish the object designed
/ by the Hanna and Ingalls, crowd.
| Tho people Of Virginia have had one
/ coalition regime; they have had one Ma
/ hone. and their experience in that sad
era Of our Commonwealth does not in
cline US 70 wish for a repetition OF those
evil days. But, II we would escape a re-
petition Of the disastrous campaign Of
1879. we must open our eyes to the fact
/ that President ingalls, IS the Malone Of
| the present combination. and II we don't
| rise up against him now he Will soon
have us fastened down so that we may
not be able TO move without his consent
/ for years to come.
