the question of the organization of the
Conservative party of Virginia beg leave to
make the following report and drecommenda-
tions, for the consideration and action of
the caucus of the members of the Conserva-
tive party of the Legislature Of Virginia.
In consideration of the expense and
general inconvenience that would attend
the assembling of q convention of the Con-
seryatiye party Of Virginia, the committee
are of opinion, and recommend, that it is
ineXpedi cnt and unnecessary to call con.
yention at this time, in view Of the fact that
there are no State offices to be filled at the
next general elections. o..
"The committee are of opinion that it is
of the utmost Importance that the ConSer-
vative party of Virginia should be tho
roughly re0rganized for the approaching
fall elections. They therefore recommend
81. That q committee of twenty-three
members be appointed by this caucus, con-
sisting of two members from each congress
sional district in the State and seven men,
bers from the city of Richmond, who shall
be the Central Executive Committee of the
Conservative party of Virginia, to continue
in office until superseded by regular con-
vention ofthe people; and that seven men,
bers of this committee shall constitute q
quorum for the transaction of business.
'''2. That the organization of the Con-
servative party maintained during the last
YI1hprnDfnrill nj
fected upon the basis of the plan adopted by
the convention held In the city of Richmond
on the 18th December, 1867, except as herein
otherwise indicated. And to that end that
the county and city superintendents of that
canvass, or such others as may have been
substituted for them, call meetings of the
Conservative party Of their respective
counties and cities, to assemble at their
August courts, or at such other suitable
times as they may designate, for the ap-
pointment of county and district superin-
tendents, and to adopt all measures neces-
sary for the perfect organization Of the
success. Where thereNare no county or city
superintendents then meetings may be
called by any Conservative voters.

each county to present candidates for every
office to be filled at the approaching cleo
tions, to be supported by the Conservative
party at the polls.
