we arrive ut the very important anu suIls.
factory conclusion that not more,tuan ope

/ AS satisfactory as this EXHIBIT IL, Dackeo,
we believe, by entirely reliable data, II lnuse
be remembered that this faction now uia-
king war against The CONSERVATIVE patty
although christened at Mozart Hall III rep
rt,ory lust, has been in existence lor scVe
raj wears. True, iI did not manifest it;et
in an organized form until Mr.. Rludie-
berger declared in public speech In the
Mozart-Hall gathering that the " purpose
of the convention was to organize ne"
party and crystalIze sentiment 10 cicct
new General AsscmblY," but every inteill-
gent observer Of public events must nave
known that in the dark and secret places OF
the Commonwealth there was growing up
party under Il housekeeping leadcr, which
ONLY waited for increase Of numbers to I'M
mask its real designs and transfer the nox-
ious and poisonous theories OF Reputation
from the cellars and hidden places in which
these schemcrs concocted their plans for
elcctine n new General Assembly to the
sunlight OF public opinion.
That time has now arrived. The neglect
| to stamp out this hydra in the past for fear
Of disruptins the Conservative party Feed
not now be referred to. The errors OF the
past must not be repeated. Action is now
the word. Not only action, but thorough
union Of the entire Conservative party must
at once take the place Of that line OF policy
which would, by indifference, supiness, and
Il want OF properly approaching the crisis
now threatening the State, transfer the
honor, the rights, and the roSpcrity OF the
Commonwealth TO party forming but a
1.-THE of the voters OF the State, and whose
intention is to strike down all who oppose
it, take possession OF the Offices OF the State,
and reward their leader with the great prize
OF United States senator, for which he pants
as "doth the hart for the water brook"
The camp of the enemy shows activity
and determination. Let the Conservative
party fling out its banner TO the breeze, and
while the clarion notes Of our prominent
speakers ring out to the people their words
of eXhortaion and OF caution, the voters OF
the Commonwealth should organize for
such victory as will put the Jack CadeS OF
the Commonwealth in the same position to
which their illustrious English predecessor
was so Justly CONSIGNED No2toiE Lecgcr.
