UncaIIed.for Abuse.

The letter of Gen. W. G. Wickham,
the most prominent Virginia republi-
can, announcing his purpose to sup
port the Democratic State ticket, has
aroused tho ire of the New York
Times, and in very brief editorial 1t
manages to denounce him as . "rene-
gade" and ''hypocrile," and charac~
terizes his purpose to endeavor TO re-
susticate the republican party OF vir-
ginia after the fall election as "a piece
Of impudence that will be appreciated
outside of the State II not within its
borders, where he Is better known."-
This ill.natured criticism of manly,
independent expression comes with
bad grace from paper now engaged
in supporting ticket whose principal
stock In trade is q claim for ssfree
| bsllot and q fair count" Freedom oi
opinion seems not to be embraced in
the Times's vocabulary Of political
virtues as applied to the Virginia can.
!; vass. Gen. Wickham has served the
republican party faithfully and ably
without seeking reward, and, az II
we'll known, has impaired quite ai
much responsibility to that party In
Virginia as any man In the Common
wealth but he 10 man Of determined
will, and will be as little likely to b
influenced by the Times's abuse ~ h'

him to 60 over to the coalitioniats
