DEFERRED MATTER.
Consistency.


Public men are very sensitive about their
consistency. They generally take very su-
perficial view Of what consistency is. A DEM
ocrat considers it inconsistent to assume
the name Of Republican, although he may
pledge himself to carry out Republican prin-
ciples. There is not an honest Conservative
in Virginia who is not as much Republican
rs we are, if he is to be believed. They all
say they accept the situation-favor the EN-
forcement of the laws and Constitution as
they stand. That is precisely what we say.
The difference is, that we accept the party
that gives the laws vitality, that made
them and is pledged to their enforcement
They hang to party name that represents
all the opposition the laws have ever had. If
Wade Hampton carries out his pledges given
to the President, he is practically as much a
Republican as we are, or as President Hayes
is. Mr.. Key, the Postmaster General, says
he is Democrat standing on Republican
platform, to carry out the policy of Repub-
lican administration. He Is as much Of a
Republican practically as the Presldent.-
The inconsistency is, when men recognize
the justice of principle, not to assume the
party designation that reflects the principle,
All the Democrats Of Virginia idolize Hamp-
ton. He is pledged to do precisely what we
have been insisting on for the past five years
simply to give free and unembarrassed OPP
Grafton to the laws and Constitution. Not
to be misunderstood. we accepted the name
of the Republican party as well as its princi-
pies. and in this we are consistent. The fact
is, we do not care much for names, and what
is called, generally, consistency. We aim to
be consistent with what We believe to be
right. and if to be thus implies change OF
name every moon, it would make very little
differencewith us.
