held its donors so cheap rs that. Suppose
that course had been followed: What would
before November have been the condition
OF the Conservative party? 1t would have
been rent in twain, and the next General
Assembly would have numbered among Its
members perhaps as many MoZarters as
Conservatives. The members would nave
been engaged in much worse wrangles than
those which took place in December, 1917,
when CAMERON was pitted against McDoN-
AID, one WALKER against FRAYSER, and an
other WALKER against SWAMI, and the sup
porters OF each set Of candidates were Vo-
ciierously claiming to be the genuine Con-
servatirc party. Worse scenes than those
Famous ones would have taken place; be-
cause the fall elections would have decided
nothing. The fight would have run into
next year, and the Conservatives OF Vlr-
einia would have found themselves severed
into two factions duriog the year OF a presl-
Dental election. .. .r.-
But how is it now? Why. all is well.
The lines are sharply drawn as between
the Conservatives and the Mozarters, ana
he who chooses to act with the latter VIII
do so with full knowledge that he Will no
longer be considered Conservative by the
men to whom all Of us are accustomed TO
look as our leaders. Hewill thus tbro" his
influence in favor of the enemies of the true
Conservative party; but il he elects bis can
didaie, the member-elect will know MS
place. He will not dare to present himself
at the entrance to Conservative caucus and
demand admission. He will know his place
and keep it:
the Mozarters will be beaten in every Sec
ton Of the State. 1t is impossible that
party can succeed which has nobody to look
to as a leader but such men rs MASSEY, PAUL.
FULKERs0N, and MAHoNE. 1t is not in the
nature OF things that such a party can win
ats way with the people. The Conservative
marty has rallied to its standard every first
class man in the State. Not one exception
can be named. The entire Conservative
nress in several congressional districts is en-
gagged in the support Of the McCULLocH bill;
and taking the State throughout, the papers
that stand by the Conservative party are'
outside of Little Tennessee, as ten TO one'
we calculate. Indeed, we showed yester0
day that the Mozart organs are exactly the
same papers that last year boted the regu-.
lar nominations Of the Conservative party
and refused to support BEALE, GoopE, JOE
JOHNSTON, RAN TUCKER CABELL' RICH
MoSp, HuNToN, &c. So also MALONE, PAUL.
FuLKERsoN, MASSEY, &C., are boilers. Gene
raj MAHoYE's paper opposed JOE JOHNSTON
and Ran TUCKER with bitterness Whlcn 10
the general public was unaccouutable. Gen
eral MALONE, too, was conspicuous IN the
Mozart-H Hall Convention. FULKERsoN OPP
posed the election Of the regular nominee
in his district-Colonel j. B. RICHMOND.

Congress themselves, and would OF course

it is not sufficient to effect that purpose?
Who wants any either Of the presses or the
orators Of the Mozart faction to remain in
the Conservative party? Why it will be a
happy day for our party when those mis-
chieismakers shall honestly confess them
selves to be its enemies. It. will prove to
