Did Riddleberger write it?

Since the article we publish in this issue
taken from the Woodstock Virginian, then
owned and edited by Fl. II. Riddleberger,
was put in type, we have seen dispatch to
the Richmond Wing which denies that Rid
dleberger wrote it, That article was pub
lished as editorial in Riddleberger's paper
in its issue of Sept. goth, 1882. Would such
an article be published as editorial in his
paper if it did not express the views of the
editor? Those who are acquainted with
Riddleberger's style can judge whether he
wrote it or not.
If he did not write it, we would like to
learn who did; for we are curious to know
who can initiate his peculiar style SO well
And we would like, also, to have the reason
assigned why such an article was published
in his paper as editorial if it did not express
his views? If it had been communication
merely, the editor, of course, would not
have been responsible for it; but it was an
editorial, for which the editor is response
BILE. If it was written by another, and did
not express his views, as the publication in
that form implied, it was his duty in JUS
tice to himself to have made that fact known
at that time.
Though he is an adept in reputation,
would he have repudiated that editorial if
he were not now supporting Blaine for the
Presidency?

ssThe Republican party has made some
mistakes. One of them was too hasty a
reconstruction of the rebel States. Troops
should have been maintained in the South
until the people were willing to obey the
law; but since they have been withdrawn
and the States turned over to the civil au-
thorities there is no alternative left to the
colored voter but to become as familiar
with the use of firearms as the ruffians
who domineer over Them and give them as
good as they send. Whenever the colored
man shows that he is willing and able to
protect himself, he will at once command
the respect of his oppressors and they will
grant him his rights. Mrs. Livermore says
that the one sin which men will not forgive
is the sin of weakness. This is what places
the colored man at disadvantage with the
semi barbarians among whom he lives
He should know his rights, and knowing
dare maintain them "-Perw (Indiana)
Republican.
:. The above, from Republican paper of
Indiana, shows the feeling of the Republi-
can party of the North towards the people
of the South. They denominate the peo-
pie of the South as "ruffians" and "semi-
barbarians," who should have been kept fo1
a longer time under military rule, and adj
vises the negroes to 'become familiar with
the use of firearms" &C., and yet this is
the party that Southern men are asked to
support. Let those who believe that the
South should be governed by military rule,
and that they are "ruffians'' and ''semi
barbarians" do so.

ALBANY, September 23d.
My Dear Sir,-I very much regret that
pressure of official duties prevents my join
ing you at the meeting to be held in Colum
bus on the 25th instant hope the meet
ing will be complete success, and that it
will be the means of increasing the enthusi-
asm already aroused for the cause of good
government. believe that the voters of
the country are fully alive to the necessity
of installing an administration of public af-
fairs which shall be truly their own, not
only because it is the result of their choice,
but because its selected instrumentalities
are directly from the body of the people
and impressed with the peoples thoughts
and sentiments. They are tired, think,
of rule so long continued that it has bred
and fostered a class standing between them
and their political action, and whose interest
in affairs end with partisan zeal and advance
ment of personal advantage. Let me re-
mind the people that if they seek to make
their public servants feel their direct respon-
sibility to them, and careful of their inter
ests, their objects will not be accomplished
by blinded adherence to party which has
grown arrogant with long continued power
Let me impress upon the people that the is
sue involved in the pending canvass is the es-
Enlistment of a pure and honest admins
tration of their Government Let me show
them a way to this, and warn them against
any cunningl designed effort to lead them
into other paths of irrelevant discussion.
With these considerations before them,
and, with an earnest presentation of our
claims to the confidence of the people and
of their responsibility, we need not fear
the result of their intelligent action.
Yours very truly,
