Those who Elect Should Select.

It is to be presumed that the State Central
Committee of the Conservative party has at
heart the interests of Virginia, aud would
not willingly do any act which would de-
grade or damage her. That committee has
lately so changed the plan of organization OF
the party as to require that in nominating
conventions eacl. township or ward shall
vote the strength Of that township or ward,
as shown by the last general election. III
seems 10 us that this regulation Is just, pro-
per, and polite. It allows those to select
the candidates who have to elect them, and
presents the representatives of Radical con-
stitucncics from forcing candidates upon the
representatives of Conservative constituent
cics. Ina word, it allows each voting precinct
exactly rs much strength in selecting candi-
dates as it has manifested in c'cctinS candi-
dates. The system heretofore in use was so evil
IDENTITY an outrage upon the Conservative
counties that the committee was almost COM
PEELED to adopt new one. Under the old
system Fauquier, with its 2,220 Conscrva-
tive votes, had the same weight in State
convention as Prince George with lis o31
Conservative votes. In other words, one
Conservative in Prince George had IL much
weight as four in Fauquicr. Warwick with
its 1874 Conservative votes had the same
weight MS Warren with its T04. One Couscr-
yatiye In Warwick was equal to five in War
rcn. These arc specimens of the inequalities
IF tho old svvtrm 'ro name thrm * tV
convince almost every reader that some new
system was needed. Now, what better or
fairer plan could the committee have hit upon
than the one they have adopted? None, that
We can sec. We beg our friends i'll the tadi-
cal ce!:n;ies to ponder the facts Of the case
and come to an honest conclusion. Let no
unworthy considerations influence your jud.-
ment, and we shall not be apprchcnsiye as to
what your verdict will be.

The Liberal Platform.

The following are The resolutions in full
adopted by the Liberal Republican National
Convention at Cincinnati:
We, the Liberal Republicans Of the United
States, in National Convention assembled ut
Cincinnati, proclaim the following principles
as essential to IL just governments:
First. We recognize the equality Of all
men before the law, and hold that it is the
duty of the Government in IFS dealings with
the people to mete out equal and exact Jus
ticc to all, of whatever nativity, race, color,
persuasion, religious or political.
Second. We pledge ourselves to maintain
the union of these States, emancipation, and
cnfiancliSemcnt, and to oppose any REOPEN
ing of the questions settled by the thirteenth,
fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments of the
Constitution.
Third. We demand the immediate and alb
solute removal OF all disabilities imposed on
account of the rebellion, which Was finally
subdued seven years ago, believing that uni
vcrs,l amnesty will result in the complete
lmcifcation of all sections of the country.
Fourth. Local self-goyernment, with i'm.
partial suffrage, will guard the rights of al!
citizens more securely than any centralized
power. The public welfare requires the SUI
prcinacy OF the civil over the military au-
thority, and the freedom of persons under
the protection OF the habedS corpus. We
demand for the individual the largest liberty
consistent with public order for the State 5
SelfSovermnent, and for the nation return
to the methods of peace and the constitutional
limitations Of power.
Fifth. The civil service of the Govern
mcht has become 4 mere instrument Of par
tis;n tyranny and personal ambition, and IN
object of selfish greed. 1t is scandal and
upon our free institutions, and
breeds generalization dangerous to the
perpetuity Of republican government. We
therefore regard thorough reform of the
civil service us one Of the most pressing ne
cessities of the hour; that honesty, capacity,
and fidelity, constitute the only valid claims
to public employment: that the Offices Of the
Government cease to be q matter of arbitrary
tayoritisil and patronage, and that public
stations become again posts of honor. To
this end it is imperatiYely required that no
President sbal be "a candidate Tor reelection.
