Mr.. Finley has not descended from the high
ground that individual aspiring to the statioe

As Mr. Finley appears to have . penchant for

Mr.. Finley, or his Richmond friends, tell the peo-
pie what were the reasons urged against him
suitable person to discharge the duties Of Cashier
! Of the Branch Of the State Bank when il was a.
bout being established At Richmond s-Wll they

SELF tell US, whether he did. di6 not, while Ed
itor Of tho Richmo0d Palladium, call On, and So
licit, prominent indiv idual Of that Borough, to
write communications for that paper, charging
''bargain and corruption in the transfer Of the
Post Office in Richmond from Mr.. Reid to Mr.
Borden, and then skulked from the responsibility
by telling the people he could show a responsible
name for each communication
| think, Mr.. Finley, when you digest these mat
tiers and give US your legal opinions on them
your fund oflegal lore will be nigh exhausted.
