FRIDAY MORNING. MAY Ie. 1890

we lay before our readers the following publications
which have appeared in the Washington papers. They
speak for themselves. Mr.. Randolph has thrown aside
all decency in regard 10 himself all respect for tbe
dignity OF the Senate and the nation and all responsi
oIlty for his defamation of private Character We
near 10 retaiate on ms pr ivac Character thouqhthe
names of Mrs. Governeur Morris, James Currie.
and st. George Randolph, tnay suggest to him our
ability 10 do SO with success aud 10 humble his a,isto
cratic pride TO the dust.
we have that respect for the man who represents
the State of Virginia in the Senate of the u States. for
ourselves, and for private character which that Sena
tor himself has forgotten, which orBids this course
we can comniserate too, much as one of us has i;f
tered from 1t, that msanthropy which, originating in
personal misfortune. seeks relief by nlicting on all
mankind IFS own unhappiness.
Unjust as such spirit is and the converse of chris
any, the misfortune which produced it disartns reta
aton, and egitimacs its offences Though, therefore,
fore, hosts human gcneris, Tie enemy of the whole
human race, and rayaging ndiscrimnatev those nos
sessions which are far dearer men than their proper
ty-ther characteristics Senator does not deserve The
brief measure which mankind have unani.nousiy award
