This Last Week.

From the manner of campaign MIR.

we expect some little whipper-snappers
IN this section to scatter through then

Likely they will pattern after (for they
can t originated the CITIZEN four years
ago in getting up Judge Mann's record
on the Jordan bill. We did not under
stand his vote then, and thought he
showed weakening on his vote, and sc
published it. but these same men and
paper that took issue with us then, anc
supported Judge Mann, are going to
take issue with us now, and not support
the Judge now.
So you may look out for their publish

want them to do it (but preferred their
doing it earlier so we might have quoted
them against themselYes).
It might be sufficient answer. how

made lis feel that, probably, while right
on the recorded vote, We were wrong in

The Tidewater Democratlabors
under the impression that the
VIRGINIA CITIZEN and the North
ern Neck News are fitting over
this campaign. Wehaveleft that.
for once, to our Southside
brethren. While allowing it's col
umns TO be used by scribblers and
correspondents to defame Mann
and Curlett, happily the Northern
Neck News has not engaged this
paper in any discussion of acri-
mcny or bitterness to speak OF
during this campaign. This is as
we most heartily desire at all
times; and we hope our Warsaw
contemporary will not allow it's
columns to be perverted this
last issue before the campaign,
breaking the general good feeling
and at the same time giving us
no opportunity to reply. Last
week we observed two editorial
slips, but they are hardly worth
attention. The News denies oul
allegation that Malone turned
Republican ayear after the Mann
letters were written. The records
and all writer's ON the subject
bear us out iH-this, and the News
is of. The other is that the
Richmond News Leader had re-
manned neutral up to the time OF
the Malone letters. Evidently
the News writer has not been
reading the Richmond paper. In
a leading editorial more than a
month ago the News Leader an
nounced that it had concluded to
support Tucker.

EVEN friends of Mr.. Wexford
are censuring his newspaper and
correspondents for the fierce at
tacks upon Mr.. Curlett and rcpu-
date the vile methods. But Mr..
Wexford has not asyet measured
up to the man of the hour
to disclaim sympathy with the
methods.

The officeloafer CHS tribeexists
in many States), after a more or
less careful perusal OF our ex-
changes, concludes that if Vir-
ginia newspaper reports and edi-
torlal utterances are to be ac-
cepted as truth, both Mann and
Tucker are dwelling idiots and
should be assigned to an asylum
for the feeble-minded. Perhaps
criminally insane would better
fit their cases. The only safety.
he thinks, for the democracy OF
Virginia will be to perform n
miracle and resurrect Henry 4
Wise and thus rescue the party
from destruction. That his

Gated his political Judgment goes
without saying-but then the
office loafer is peculiar genus
and is therefore harein and hereby
immortalized.

We have not maligned Mr..
Tucker. and if he should be nomi-
mated viii pull off our coats for
him-even though he made the
brash promise last April to an
office of gentlemen near here. that
''if elected Governor

Fisheries. :" Although too rattle
Drained, in our opinion, to be a
good governor. Mr.. Tucker is a
gentleman and we will gladly
work for him if the winner. The
editor of this paper is not hank
ering' after the lob. and per-
sonal cupidity does not enter into
his support of Judge Mann. We
say, once for all, that the posi-
ton is not essential to his sup
port or happiness. If he does
not render ''value received" to
the State he should be turned out.
