GIVING UP THE CONTEST Washing

GIVING UP THE CoNTEsT.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York ,Sta
says:
SENATOR Riddeberger is man of very
little discretion at any time, and when sur
rounded by boon companions is exceedingly
careless in his talk. A short time since,
while in town here one night in a coffee
house discussing the situation in Virginia,
be said that, while Wise was likely to get
the more votes, Lee was certain to be the
next Governor of that State. The remark
was, of course, construed by those who
heard it as reflection on the election ma
chinery of the State, now in the hands of
the democracy and in that sense was re-
peated.
every recently it found its way into print,
but was commented on by the democratic
papers in the Old Dominion as indicating
that the Senator had no heart in the fight
and had already confessed a result adverse
to his side. This began to prove very dam
aging to him, especially since his loyalty to
the republican ticket had from the first been
matter of some doubt. Wise and Malone
got very angry, and have remained so until
now, when Senator Riddleberger finds it
necessary to deny the remark attributed TO
him in toto. 1t was his only way out Of the
en- barrassment."

IT IS UNDERSTOOD that Senator sherman
has become aware that Investigations now
in progress of which he is the subject are
revealing facts if possible worse even than
those of which the country is already aware
concerning the ways and means by which
he acquired his immense fortune, and that
it is for the purpose of raising dust SO as
to obscure those facts that he has unturled
the bloody shirt and is waving it furiously.
But, as his ex colleague, Mr.. Thurman, used

fortune but the people, of whose taxes that
fortune is composed, will know the means by
which it was acquired.
