WE HAVE OUR RIGHTS.

We take it for granted that THE
SPECTATOR has as much right to sup
port one man for Office as another.
We have as much right to support Mr..
Martin as the Richmond Times has to
support Mr.. Tyler. This no man will
deny. We learn now for the first time
that THE SPECTATOR is the servant OF
monopOlies, and trusts, and corpora
lions. 1t is for fighting these that
some people have taken deep and
lasting aversion to THE SPECTATOR,
and if it's course has been consistent
in one thing 1t has been i'll this. Our
opposition to Mr.. Tyler may be called
by any name, it may be impugned to
any motive, but we regard him as the
demagogue of the season, chronic
office seeker, and small man.
Had he not accepted office
from the very party he is now
denouncing, andlhad he as governor
done anything for the farmer he pro-
fesses to love so we'll, We might see
some reason to put him into another
office, but we have searched his record
in vain, we have begged our farmer
friends who profess to love him be-
cause he lives IN town and owns a
farm in the country, to give us statls-
tics showing wherein he has done any
thing to advance their interests, and
they have been as dumb as oysters.

MARTINS METHODS"

Gov. Tyler has seen fit to lnveigh
bitterly, from the beginning of his
canvass for the Senatorship. against
what he is pleased to call the ''meth-
DDS" of his adversary. He has done
this at length, in his Wytheville
speech and elsewhere; yet without IN
dertaking to say what those ''meth-
ods'' were. His charges are vague and
indefinite, and are ad captaaadum.
Gov. Tyler was Lieutenant-G Cover
nor OF Virginia in 1898 when Martin
was elected U. s. Senator, and presided
over the State Senate at the time OF
that election. Gov. Tyler appointed in
part the legislative committee which
declared absolutely untrue all such
charges against Martin as are now in
situated in the Governors interviews
and speeches. The Governor himself
kept silent during this time. 1t he
had known anything against Martin,
and bis methods then, why did he not
make it known to the public? Why
did he keep this fearful secret in bis
breast until his announcement of his
own candidacy as Mr.. Martins antag-
onist? Did Gov. Tyler condone Mr..
Martins methods from 1898 to 1899?
Or is it that the Governor is conduct
ing a. losing campaign, that makes it
necessary for him to raise this clamor
about methods p
Why didn't Gov. Tyler talk about
methods" sooner

from "Dear Ned" and vouching
Quesenberry, both of them his friends
and kinsmen. Wingfield repIied-and
''Dear Ned" and Quesenberry left the
Governor in pitiable plight. So that
now he announces that he will speak
no more, neither will he reply to Wing
field. The inference is that the Cover
nor gives it up, seeing the hand writing
on the wall. The governor ought to
give it up. The constitution OF his
State. that he has sworn to support,
says that the chief executive of this
Commonwealth shall be vested in a
governor who shall be elected for
term of four years, and that he shall
'be ineligible to the same office for the
term next succeeding that for which
he was elected, and to any other Office
during his term of service" Cover
nor Tyler is violating the spirit OF the
constitution, if not the letter thereof,
in his candidacy for the United States
Senate. That instrument was intend
ed to prevent the Executive from u.s.
ing his power and patronage to re-
elect himself or to obtain other office
in Virginia while Governor. And be-
cause of the constitution, if for no
other reason, Governor Tyler ought
to be defeated, as he will be.

The correspondence between Mr.. j.
R. Wingfield and Governor Tyler is
published In full in this issue of THE
relative to whether Mr..
Tyler had supported Mr.. Martin or
Gen. Fitz Lee. 1t must be admitted
that Dear Ned" puts his relative, the
Governor, in a sorry light in several
places, and that the Governors mem
DRY was very inaccurate. Any one who
reads the testimony of Dear Ned"
the man whom Governor Tyler claims
was go fortunately present, must see
that Governor Tyler has very bad
memory, and shows that not only Mr..
Wingfeld, but DR.. Magruder, regard
ed Tyler for Martin.

A Gard from Or. Maqruder.

DR.. Magruder has made the follow
ing statement in addition to the one
in Mr.. Wingfeld's second article.
The doctor says: AS my name has been
mentioned in connection with the
Tyler WiRgfield interview in Lynch
burg in 1898, from sense of justice to
those gentlemen as well as to myself, l
feel it incumbent on me to make som e
explanations which may throw light
on the controversy and correct wrong
and unjust impressions.
Both of these gentlemen are my
warm personal friends whom 1 value
co ua.ly and greatly, and do not in
one, if can prevent it.
My telegram-''Yes; almost exactly;
use name if desired'-was carelessly
and unfortunately worded, as it was
written hurriedly and not intended for
publication. l meant to say, "Y es,
with notification; but the proper
word did not occur to me at the time.
l did not know that this telegram
would be published, but the Governor
evidently misunderstood my intention
when gave him permission to use my
name What did mean was. that my
name might be used as a reference in
order to help establish the main point
that he wished to make as to his past
lack of active utilization with Mr.. Mar
tin's cause and the general tone of the
interview With Mr.. Wingfield 1 did
not mean to endorse the personal allu-
sions to Mr.. Wingfiel6, which might
put that gentleman in any unfavorabie
light. lHence my modified statement
to Mr.. Wingfeld.)
In reviewing this matter after the
lapse Of six years, | am forced to the
following conclusions formed from my
own observation and recollection:
1. Governor Tyler is right in claim.
ing that he declined to give or wished
to give active aid to Mr.. Martin g cause
and hat he was opposed to becoming
and would not become to much extent
identified with it.
2. Mr.. Wingfeld is right in claiming
that Governor Tyler said enough dur
ing the course of the interview to
create the impression that he would do
something in the interest of Mr.. Mar
tin. The Governor has already admit
ted this.
8. My own impression was that
whatever aid was promised and intend
ed by Governor Tyler was more in de-
ference TO Mr. Wingfield's wishes and
out of friendship for the latter than
from any friendly inclination to Mr..
Martin.
The Importance of this aid depends
upon the point from which one views
it.
