1t is somewhat amusing to see republi-
can papers repelling with hot indignation
the charges of fraud brought by Gen. Ma
hone against the democrats.
They (the kickers' organs) seem also to
think it strange that some of the Northern
republican papers have taken up and en-
phaszed the Malone cry.
But what else could they expect? These
northern papers have heard after every re-
publican defeat in Virginia these charges
iterated and reiterated by the Virginia re-
pu )lican press an. politicians, including
these very 'kickers'" organs.
When a bird fouls his own nest he ought
not to be astonished when other birds lend
their bsst assistance to that i'll work.
