date. But the mission OF the Conservatives
is not yet fully performed. There are other
battles to fight; other victories to win.

WORDS TO THE GREESBACKERS.
DIR. Quesenberry hoped that in the exodus
which took place awhile ago all the Green
hackers did not leave the Theatre. The
Doctor confessed that he bimself had been
very much impressed with the greenback
| idea. He wanted to confer and commune
with his Greenback friends. Laughter.
| He came from the country, where the peo-
| ple generally are poorer than in the city:
though be knew that there were plenty OF
poor people in the city tho. His country
men had suffered greatly from the financial
stress, and they we're looking around and
about for help and hope. Could they ind
it outside of The Democratic party? He
Thought not. SO in this contest he did not
want to see any man who had ever been
Conservative out Of ranks. He wanted to-
hear them all answering the roll-call as sug-
l.gested by Colonel Young.
| . ONLY TWO PARTIES.
| There can be but two parties in this coun-
try for years to come, said the Doetor-De-
mocrats and Republicans. The Greenback-
l:crs, of course, say that the present miserable
i3condition OF things has been brought about
by the Republican party; and yet they pro-
pose to aid and encourage the Republicans
by dividing the Democrats |!
! All that had been said and done in aid OF
greenbacks was by the Democratic party,
and he thought it base ingratitude for the
Greenbackers to forget that. In his opinion
the very result aimed at would be struck
deadly blow by the disruption OF the Demo-
| cratic party. .st
| OUR OLD ENEMY.
| In reference to the Republican party OF
| Virginia The Doctor said: "1t is not dead.
1t can scarcely be said that it sleepetn. It
| is watching for the only opportunity 1t VIII
ever haye-the disruption OF the ConserVa-
tive party. II you were to divide the Con-
| seryatives here and the Democratic party OF
the nation, you would be committing sin
| for which there would be no apology"
For, said DR.. Quesenberry, no sane man can
dream OF a way out Of our financial difficult
ties, but through the Democratic party.
| He told The people that they were more
interested in electing General Johnston
than General Johnston was himself, for the
place would impose upon him burden OF
res possibility any man might Well shrink
| from.
THE NAN WE WANT.
| DR.. Ouesenberry said that when man Is
placed among two or three hundred others
. great deal depends upon his prominence.
Send INV friend Newman-and respect
him highly, and wish be would not make
so much noise outside e'-[aughter]- and
where would be be? Who would know
him2 What could he do in Congress :" II
we send him there and he does nothing we
cannot blame him. You have no business
to send him there. Laughter and ap-
plause.] You all remember the fable OF
the birds and the beasts. The bat didn't
want to be considered either bird or Il
beast. Colonel Newman will be like that
| Int,
parties. No; he will not do in Congress-.
"Now. il you wanted hermit there
Newman would be the man. He could not
possibly have any influence with either
purity. Let him otlera bill. Nobody would
| feel any interest in it. His election would
be fruitless, while the election OF General
Johnston would be credltable and useful to
the district and qualification to the friends
of the Lost Cause everywhere" [Ap-
| pause.I
| SHALL GREENBACKS WHIP OLD JOE?
"Now, my friends" said the Doctor, '' il
YOU want to show that you are rot divided,
| and are rot to be rent aSundcr; il you IN
| tend 10 show to the Radicals that your arm
is still strong, follow the flag. [Applause.l
Come into your places when The roll IS
called. and when your name is pronounced
step forward and support the Conservative
nominee" lApplause.l
DR.. Oucsenberiy said that Colonel New
man is a gentleman. and he was therefore
the more surprised to find him in bis pres
ent position. =,
There was one strange thing he had
heard of the convention" which nomi-
mated Colonel Newman; that was the srnti-
ment expressed and applauded that green
backs bad whipped Joe Johnston once and
would do it again. The expression might
he taken in q variety OF ways. lie would
not construe it to mean that money would
defeat General Johnston in the canvass.
But there was the admission that green
backs whipped Johnston in the war.
It was true. But is that subject OF con-
graduation? Is there anythiGgin the memo
ry Of those sad DAYS to make Yirginians re-
| ioice? A defeat OF our candidate now.
the Doctor thought, would put us in false
| position.
Said:he: LAS you stood by him in the
past, 50 stand YOU by him now [great and
prolonged appiausel: so let every man who
| stood by the lost cause: every one WHO re-
yeres the memory OF those who gave their
| lives for us. Let US see that we reverse that
evil prophecy. and at the November election
| come out with flying banners and glorious
| victory gained for our Candidate" Jap
| piauSe.
Lenn ". Daniel.
Calls were now made for Major Daniel.
| Colonel Young introduced him - Is second
to none for eloquence and logic" and iIn-
mense cheering greeted him As he came to
| the front.
| Major Daniel said that this was the first
time he had met Richmond audience since
4 majority Of her representatives had con-
ierred signal honor upon bin by giving him
their votes for the highest office Virginia
could bestow. With his first words OF Sa'u-
tation he would recognize the partlallty
which had selected him for favor from so
many others more worthy to receive it.
Those who were successful seldom lacked
friends: but it had been his good fortune to
have their friendship when success had
dropped her sceptre. lie bad nothing else
to give, but he would lay the humble offer
ing of his lifelong gratitude and his hearts
affection at their feet Appause.l The
invitation sent him two days ago to address
this brilliant meeting had found him en-
gagged in court, but he had come at the tap
OF the Conservative dunn to add his feeble
voice to the acclamations OF faithful peo-
pie who gathered around beloved chief.
For himself. he has never had but ttoo poll
Observation-Disclosures and Conservatism. The
glorious memories Of the one and the pre-
sent blessings OF the other were united in
the one person OF their to-be representa-
tive, and il was JOY to enrol himself again
amongst his cohorts, as he had done before
| in 1861.
Great causes always crystallized In few
general principles. The great general prin-
ciple which should now be held in view, like
