DOES THE SHOE PINCH ?

The Petersburg Index-Appeal. and
some other of the smaller fry. are
much worked up over what they call
Governor Montague's argument, tone
of voice, and turn of expression" car
rying with them IAN insinuation of
trickery, deception, smallness, and
incompetency of Senator Martin"
The Index Appeal has said:
Every speech that Candidate Monta-
que has made in the present campaign,
from Spottsylvania to Bedford, might
be cited in Justification of the charge
that his course in this campaign has
been calculated to bring Virginia into
contempt abroad by creating the i'm
preston that two democratic Ieglsla-
lures have elected man to the United
States senate who is not only lncom
petent but unworthy and that such
elections were procured by question:
BILE if not corrupt methods. If this is
not fairly mplied-almost openly
charged-in every reference to the
election of Mr.. Martin over Gen. Lee.
then there is no pertinency whatever
in the reference to that election What
does it mean if it does not mean that
Is it reputable. by implication or in
situation, to arraign a representative
of Virginia in the United States SEN
ate for having attained to that high
position by corrupt means aud the
legislature of Virginia as party to
that corruption on unsustained sus
picion? Does it not imply the exis-
<>fo 1iCrorntnhIa ann6Itinn of
politics and morals in this State when
every body knows that no such condi
ton exists Is it reputable to deny
credit to faithful, intelligent and
ergetic public servant for services
which everybody knows he has render
| ed, and which are matters of public
record, for the selfish purpose of pro-
noting ones own candidacy? Is there
another instance of such an example
among all the candidates in the pres
ent primary campaign or in any pre-
| vious democratic primary contest
Has there been anything like it in the
canvas made by Mr.. Swanson, by
Judge Mann, by Col. Willard, by Mr..
Ellyson, or by any other candidate
1t is not always fitting to quote dead
men, but as Gen. Fitz Lee, whose
death we are now mourning, has spok.
en- openly on the manner in which hif
defeat for the United States senate
was accomplished, it could hardly be
expected that others would net quote
his words or possibly concur in his
sentiments. Gov. Montague need say
nothing, he could read what Gen. Lee
has said and let the people judge. True
an investigation did not disclose q
case of fraud such as would GUST the
successful candidate, but it is needless
for any body to deny that the odOr Of
fraud was thick in the atmosphere
about Richmond when Gen. Lee was
defeated, and that the defeat of Gen
Lee by Senator Martin is considered
the sole cause which led to the pres.
ent primary plan. That an unknown
man would be able to carry the Vir.
ginia Legislature over such a man as
FitZ Lee, and over instructions of del
egates for Fitz Lee, will never be ex.
planned away in Virginia, and Mr..

Whales in Delaware Bay.

Men in one of the off-shore boats of
the Harris Shore fishing crew at
Bowers Beach, Delaware bay, Satur-
day, spied what they thought looked
like men on raft far out in the bay
Casting off their end of the seine, they
pulled Justify, expecting to rescue ship
wrecked sailors. After a mile of hard
work the raft and men, they say, loom
ed into three whales. They estimated
that one whale was about lis feet long
and the other two each about 60 feet
long. The leviathans were spouting
water 20 feet, they say, and when last
seen were floating up the bay with
flood tide.
