The New York World IL referring /

The New York World in referring to Ses-
sions short history of himself, and his APP
parent Indifference to public opinion says:
But the opinion which is of any practi-
cal value or interest to man is the opinion
of the people he lives with, and Sessions is
under no apprehensions about the effect of
his testimony upon the opinion of the peo-
pie he lives with These people are the
the Republican members of the Legislature,
the Republican State officers and Republi-
can politicians generally. They all as
sociate with Sessions freely, for anything
that appears, and they will continue to as
sociate with him even if Bradley's charge
proved against him beyond all cavil,
although in that case they may not con-
tinue to intrust him with difficult and
delicate case of corruption. Why should
Sessions be mealy-mouthed in telling of
what he has been and done, when all the
people he knows all about him already and
think none the worse of him? The people
of Chautauqua and Cattaraugus know all
about him, and continue to send him to
the Senate to sell his own vote and to buy
the votes of his associates. No doubt SEES
sions is a disgrace to the human species,
but he may be pardoned for not being con-
scious of that fact, when neither his fellow
Republicans in the Legislature nor his Re-
publican constituents at home show any
consciousness of it.

ed by the capitation tax which applies
alike to all lelectors in Virginia. Of every
color go ade They arenot iisfranelis-
ed a u. 1hes are lawful voters who are
only disabled from delivering their votes
by their own refusal, neglect, or failure to
pay small contribution to the support of
the government in which they wish to par
ticipate. 1t needs no change of any law
to give them such a participation. Hneeds
only that they should make a small contri-
button to the support of government in
stead of looking to government as paupers
for support. Whether there be forty
thousands or forty millions of electors in
Virginia who are non contributors to the
support of government, there is no moral
or equitable ground on which they can
claim any right to participate in actual
government, nor on which they should be
suffered to do so.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-06-17

The is one difficulty in arriving at the
exact truth of that Albany matter. No
one doubts for moment that the men
backing Depew are perfectly willing to
bride anybody and everybody, and that if
previous experience goes for anything,
they have every reason to believe that the
men voting for Conkling and Platt could
be bought, But the trouble is, it is case
where it is for the direct advantage of
both parties to lie, and when it comes to
any question of veracity between half-breed
and stalwart, the judge or jury is in a sad
box No one doubts that both sides would
do about as much lying as they thought
necessary on any occasion, and both sides
have in the past shown an ability that way
that would make the typical false witness
turn green with envy. So in the present
instance the matter of previous record does
not throw much light on the subject.
