The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-07-02


The Valley Yirginian. which Ia evidently
in a bad humor with Itself and TIE world,
declares that the Richmond Dispatch Is
putting itseli 20 unnecessary trouble about
the position OF the Hirginian 10 the APP
preaching campaign; and adds that we GER
tainly need not fls,icr ourselves with the
hope that that paper will advocate any
policy that would likely aid the proscrIptiye
and !atolerant sentiment whichit says the
DtsrascA represents In pcrpetuating control
in Virginia.
The gYgiaian Of last week described the
Regdjasiers as follows:

That was week ago. Below we copy

this week gives TO those enemies Of the "vi-

Tie Valley ViTginidn says:

We should aim TO choose the least. We
