THE repudators of Virginia at the late
elections were Republicans, as certified
by Postmaster General Key, who stated
in a recent interview:
ut is true, that the majority who vot
ed for the reacjustment or reputation
are non-tax payers and negroes, to whom
the passage or defeat in the measure
would make no difference. And there
was another trouble to this Virginia debt
matter" added Mr.. Key. "You know
the indebtedness was contracted when
West Virginia belonged to the parent
State. Just how much of the debt should
be paid by each has been a question oI
contention; and these unscrupulous pol
iticians claimed to the people that the
General Government was to blame fol
the division of the State, and should as
sumo part of the debt"
