Harrison declines ''the responsibility for
Mahones candidacy in Virginia, and says
that whatever assistance he gave Malone

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
Baltimore SUM-
Shrewd observers have been predicting
that President Harrison S hopes would be
showed under in Virginia, but, as CORES
pondent puts it, they did not foresee an
avalanche. The Virginians are spirited
people. They resent the attempt of his
administration, aided by such men as Quay
and Dudley, to foist upon them a boss
whose methods embrace every bad practice
known to modern politics.
Richmond Dispatch.l
The rebuke that she yesterday adminis-
tered to the moral traitor and those who
would bring about return to the political
orgies of the reconstruction era will go
ringing through the land as rallying cry
to patriots, summoning them to their duty

whose influence on the future of the repub-
lie cannot be over estimated.
