MALIGNING JUDGE MANN.
Petersburg Index-Appeal.

concerning the speaking in Bath
county last Thursday, there was in the
correspondence describing it a great
display of headlines and marked exap-
geration OF language and style to con-
vey an impression detrimentalto judge
Mann's interest. But the matter in
the letters did not justify the method
OF treatment. to say nothing of the
evasion of and the departure from the
truth In the statement. The fact is as
we are reliably informed. it was an
nounced on that occasion by Judge
Mann's friends that he was there ready
to accept the challenge to debate, which,
1t had been announced with a orest
flourish of trumpets, Mr.. Tucker would
send him, but which he did not send
though he had previously announced
that he would do so. We are also re-
hably informed that Mr.. Tucker made
no such attack on Judge Mann as was
printed IN ssomefQf the newspapers yes
terday. = ~
We mention these circumstances. not
because they are intrinsically impor-
tant, for they are not. Judge Mann's
nomination is as sure as anything in
the future can be, and the devices of
his enemies to injure him are but BOOM
erangs to their inventors. We point
them out only that the public may fair
~ estimate them and that no one NAV
be annoyed or disturbed by them.

UNFAIR METHODS

There is a column going through
some State papers on "Organiza-
ton abandoning Mann" In
some papers it appears as a news
item, while in others it is labeled
as an advertisement. A similar
thing occurred a few weeks back.
when cooperative sheets pub
llshed some Tucker stuff as news
from Richmond, and there was a
Kick from honest editors since it
was found to have been paid for
from Iuckerh headquarters. Aside
from the questionable method of
advertising, it looks as if Mr..
Tucker would like to have fol.
INN the Organization" which he
so much condemns.
