"The hampton affair had no bust
ness in the columns Of the public
lpress-ft was q mistake to have given

with all respect to Governor Varda-
man, in manner highly creditable to
the sense of justice, intelligence and
self-control of the people of this COM
munity; therefore, it was an act of
objectionable impertinence for him to
enter his dissent from the wisdom
of our citizens and by his extrava-
gance, not to say criminal -utterances,
seek to lash the passions Of some into
a fury"
