unprecedented.

quently retracted the charge, that the
Democrats were revolutionary, Hoar said
he had not made, but wou' d now make
that charge.
Senator Pendleton said he would leave
Senetor Brown to make him retract the
charge, as he had done before.

scheme to destroy Democracy in Vir
ginis through the installation of Senator
Riddleberger. and paid employees of the

consecrated to the discharge cf great pub
lie duties; dedicated to the service of all
parties, but for partisan use of none, and
prevent it to be used for political warefare
and spoils of petty triumph. The Re-

lar. revolutionary. reasonable, bat the
Democrats weuld prevent q great
wrong, and appeol to the
American people to decide the right.
