MONTAGUE SCORES MARTIN.

While his friends we're losing in
the Richmond city fight on Friday
night Mr.. Montague was addressing
the Montague club in Manchester.
The burden of his song was an attack
on Senator Martin, charging the
Senator and Mr.. Swanson with using
offices to trade in, and scoring Mr..
Martin because he was supporting
MIR, Swanson, saying that the Senator
had taken up headquarters in Rich
mond to manage the campaign for
his candidate.
This speech is the talk in political
circles throughout the State. Those
friends of the Attorney G eneral who
delight in mud-slinging are jubilant,
but the more conservative ones feel
that their candidate "lost his head"
and in doing so will probably lose
his tight. There is no turning back
for him now. They recall how, two
years ago. Congressman Jones made
similar grave error, and what the
consequences were. 1t pleased few
but the larger part of the right
thinking people revolted at this
method of campaigning, the conse-
quenoe being that Senator Martin
acquired friends that might other
wise have gone to the opposition.
The people of Richmond know.
notwithstanding the efforts of news
papers to make it appear otherwise,
that there is no shadow of truth in
the statement that Senator Martin
has opened headquartersin Richmond
for the gubernatorial campaign.
He is very much interested in Mr..
Swanson's canvass he admits, but
goes to no other extent than to use
his personal influence. with friends.

reasons for supporting another can

mond for day or so occasionally.
and while there occupies the room
at the Westmoreland, which he is
wont to do upon other occasions. In
no sense has he opened any head
quarters. But the truth OF these
things do not appeal to partisan
papers and people, so We suppose the
song will he sung throughout the
canvass. In the meantime Mr.. Martin
remains quiet, with the dignity
becoming U. S. Senator, aud Mr.. |
Swanson makes no claims, but goes

port Nesos telegram.
Yes, Swanson men have done the
same thing i'll Alexandria-taken
snap judgment upon their oppo-
nents, but they were not the fret to
begin such politics in this campaign,
and we have good reason to believe
that it would not have been started
by the Swanson people. Having
started such game it is high time
for the Montague people to stop
believing at the ''machine." They
called the first election of delegates
(Mancbester), and it has been pretty
lively followed up by both sides;
but Fredericksburg's Montague Com
mittee easily carries off the palm,
they having held their election by
mass-meeting with less than four
days notice.
Mr.. Swanson has steadfastly re
fused to talk on the subject of these
snap conventions, but some of his
supporters are inclined to criticise
the action of the Manchester Com
mittee for starting the ball. One
of them said; cit is very amusing.
in view of the fact that Mr.. Monta-

Now that he has given bis oppo-
nents an excuse it is very probable
that Mr.. Montague will be beaten at
the game.

men than Mr.. Montague have seen
their end come through unwise
criticism of their superiors. Two
years ago we had such a campaign
against Mr.. Martin as Mr.. Montague
seems now to have re-opened, and
well, we think the gentleman is sorry
