Ex-Governor Cameron and Gen Malone
10 an interview in Petersburg on Thurs
day In reference to the meetings held in
that city to send delegates to the Norfolk
republican convention, ex Gov Cameron
said
81 have not been to ward Meeting slnce
1877. 1 purposeiy absented myself on
Tuesday night, knowing what the tactics of
the minority would Do. The politicians
known as the Mahoneites In this State are
only acquainted with three elements OF
management-force, ffsut, aud finance.
The strikers furnish the force, the great
chieftatn furnishes the machinery for fraud,
and the deluded northern republicans far
n!sh the 6nancs. What l hear of these
meetings is to the effect that. as usual. the
anti Malone voters elected all the delegates
and secured none. 1t Is an insult to the ia--
telligence and manhood of the respectable
republicans In Virginia to presume for oae
minute that they wilt fuhmt to such treat
msnt. Look at the proceedings in Lynch
burg, Portsmouth, Shenandoah, and in
fact, everywhere else, aud it viii be seen
that the same pirsical system has bten fol-
lowed. The history of Pennsy IvaniA in the
Pattsou campaign aud Of Tiden in the
New York Campaign indicates the remedy
for this condition Of affairs. Our people
everywhere should refuse TO have anything
to do with Mahono'5 convention at Norfois
or support the ticket that General Ma
hone may name there. This Ia my advice
to them, and hope and believe that many

EXANDRIA-.
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST IT.

The Talley Tirgiaian, the oldest and most
influential republican newspaper In the
State, In leading editorial In favor of the
"kiokers," says:
with these men 1t ia self respect, 8 con.
yiction that Mahonism is not republicanism,
spd that its success would not be victory
for principle, but the enforcement of one
man as the dictator of Virginia, and men
ace not OILY to the best interests of the
Commonwealth, but to the republican
osrtv of the Nation \ In view of the
positive and transparent purpose of the
State Chairman to absorb the republican
party Of the State into himself; to direct
and control, directly or indirectly. every
step of the proceedings from the first to the
last, and impress alone his will not only
upon the deliberations OF the convention,
but its results, we can see no reason or pol
icy for any one 10 participate In the primaries
who does not agree with Gen. Malone In all
things and rscogniZs his right to dictate
the whole action of ths State convention, in
c!uliug its nominees. The only effect OK psrtici-
pating in the me tings would be to bind those DO
lug so to the action of the convention, let that be
whst il NAV, and to make those 30 participating
parties to whatever may be done"
The Tirginian thus correctly voices the
views of all the Virginia republicans whose
political actions are Influenced by principle;
aud not by selfish motives; by all who are
unlike Mr.. Dave Bailey, the recently ap
pointed assistant U. s. attorney for th'
western district of Virginia, who said he hat
eaten bushel of dirt to get an Office ant
would eat two bushels more to affect tina
object. But still, with this patent evidence

republicans are now working more harmon
iously than usual" 1t seems impossible TO
newspapers printed outside of Virginia tt
represent correctly the true condition of he
affairs. No matter with what high hand
General Malone may boss bis party, expe
risnce proves that all its members will sup
p,rt him on election day, but for news

moriously now doesn't reflect much credi

Depth to Set Posts

Some say that two feet is ample
depth, while others i'm list ON three
feet Both may bc and probably are
right The depth mus, vary with the
probable freezing Of the soil. The
bottom Of the post ought to be at least
six inches below the probable depth of
freezing. That amount Of soil will
remain packed about the foot Of the
post and hold it down. Something
also depends ON the material of which
the fence is made. Boards offer too
much resistance To winds. and at the
top of the fence net ON the post as on IA
lover, twisting IL out OF the ground.
Fence rails attached To posts have the
additional objection that their weight
says the post so soon rs the wind
causes 10 to lean. Careful farmers
now make post and rail fences with
one or two strands of bArbcd wire at
the top. Aftcra little experience with
this fence by leading stock up To it
they generally learn To give it wide
berth Such fence will not blow
down nor easily sag IL the posts are
sunk below frost depth Michigan
