As WAS TO BE EXPECTED.-Senator Rid
dleberger followed Mahone's lead, and
marched into the Radical Republican camp
with the red shirt flying above him. He has
thus shown himself to be destitute of the
nerve to stand Up against the will of the
"Master" eff the "new issue" Republicans, |
and has lost an opportunity which can new
er return to him. This was to be expected, |
and we presume no man hereafter will be
bold enough to pretend that the Malone
ties are any thing other than ''bloody-shirt'
The issue could not be more
clearly defined than it is, and he who is not
for the white people of Virginia new is
against em.-Norfolk Landmark.
