few men who are hungry for Office and

places to which no Northern community

objection whatever to the admission Of
Virginia. We can speak only for our.
selves, but we know there are great
many others who nave become exceed
ingly disgusted with the behavior Of a
portion Of these carpet baggers who now
claim to represent ail the loyalty Of the
South. II was notorious fact that the
votes Of such men were openly offered
for sale at the Chicago Convention, and
that the votes Of such men in Congress
are not always the wiscst, nor are their
reasons the soundest No party can af-
ford to make itself responsible for such
men very long, and we do know that the
ablest and most independent Republicans
are very tired Of their everlasting cry
