lNorthampton Times. Cape Charlcs


Seated at single table of local
hosiery few days ago were some half
dozen citizens, representatives of the
intelligent thought of their respective
quarters of the State; wherefore the
editor listened with respectful interest
to their sayings, especially as the same
pertained to politics which came in for
liberal share of the discussion. Apart
from the singular unanimity with
which, of the two gubernatorial candi-
dates, Judge Mann was conceded to
have the lead, the amusement with
which one of the gentlemen seemed to
regard the attitude of those newspapers
who processing favor for the principle
OF local option repudiate the candidates
who stand four square with them upon
that proposition was patent; how, in
other words, despite the oftrepeated
! and time honored Measures.
not men, the heart of man-editor
tho he be-can and will, at times. so
far deceive itself as to imagine itself
free OF that human and very common
intirmity, personal prejudice.
While The Times is unprepared to
follow one of the sextette mentioned
in his professed belief that whatever
ones record, in or out OF office. servile
acceptance of all the theories and va
carries of certain dailies is in it's final
analysis the price of their plaudit, there
is nevertheless a growing conviction
that with some contemporaries what
one may do with impunity would con-
denim another in their esteem: and reluc-
tant as we are to admit it causes for
this Apprehension are not entirely want

spect to the excellent journal (for there
are other equally prominent instancesl.
commissioner Lee, one of the most ac-
tive and devoted officials now in the
service of the State, could not. if he
would, please the Times-Dispatch.
Small wonder, then, that men conceive
the ideas they do, and the resultant de-
cline OF influence on the par: of city
dailies in shaping statewide thought.
Judge Mann need not therefore ex-
perience either encouragement or
wounded sensibility to find himself
lacking of cordial support at the hands
OF our daily press. There is nothing
whatever new in the practice of plying
one who stands for a great principle
With "hard questions;" it was so of

NO PART OR LOT IN 1T.

This state is too large for the pen OF
the editor of the Richmond Journal, OF
any other newspaper, to WELD any
influence over the best men composing
the democratic party, especially when
1T resorts to unfair means TO accomplish
its ends. Such charges, in our estima-
ton, will revert back to the paper max
ing them with re-doubled force. We
believe the two candidates in the field
should stand on their own merits and
efficiency for the Office they seek. Such
mud singing" is incompatible with
good citizenship as well as good demo-
cratic doctrine. -Westmoreland En-
quirer.
a campaign of such mud sling
ing, and started so early, by the
Richmond Journal is TO be greatly
deplored. In contrast to this we
have yet to see a paper or man
that is supporting Judge Mann
dealing on any but the highest
plane with Mr.. Tucker. We recall
the last Senatorial campaign,
when department runner and
other opprobrious epithets were
cast by one of the candidates
and hissupporters, and the result
was a crushing rebuke. Remem-
bering this, Mr.. Tucker may
well pray to be delivered from
his friends. The Times-Dispatch,
not supporting Mann, undoubt-
edly recalls the aforesaid cam
paign and result for so far it has
dealt courteously and fairly with
the Judge.
The friends of Judge Mann
should find no fault with the
penny Journal, as it is making
him friendsevery day through the
violence OF its attacks, as wit
ness the great wave of protest
sweeping over the country press.
In newspaper circles it is not be-
lleved that the editor ormanager
OF the Richmond Journal is
grinding out this vitriol, and
the frequent visits to Richmond
OF one Captain Bullitt, famed
for plotting Noel and his Repub-
llcan allies in their Legislative
fight on Judge Rhea, casts a
suspicion that there is a vicious
press agent venting his spleen
upon Judge Mann.
For one chalk us down, along
with other friends of Judge
Mann, as dealing in this cam
palgn courteously and fairly with
Mr.. Tucker, who is also ourfriend
and would doubtless make Vir-
ginia creditable Executive.
