titude OF Virgioians than at this hour."
Is there anything tn the above to which
INV GOOD Conservative can take exception
Would such men allow RIDDLEBERGER,
MARTIN LfrCoNs, McMULLrN, MALONE,
and the other agitators who organized a
new party in Mozart Hall in this city last
February to come into Conservative meet
incs and aid in nominating candidates for
the Conservative party? The State Central
Committee did not need to excommunicate
those persons. They had voluntarily With
drawn from the Conservative party, and
set I'D a new party. Nevertheless, il any
OF the Mozarters have repented, and WISH 10
return to the Conservative fold, they can do
so. Nobody will object. But they must
bring fruits meet for repentance. They must
renounce the new party, which toaS orga-
aized for the purpose of defeating the Con-
seruatiue party. Surety no true Conserva-
tive would wish to allow these persons to
be recognized as Conservatives before they
renounce the new party. This new party
holds its own meetings, dominates Its own
C ndidates, declares that it will vote for no
man WHO supports the McCuLLocH settle
ment; and yet we are told that the State
Central Committee had no right to excom-
municate them. We quote again from the
committees address: ..' -. rl.,.a.
"In the midst OF the Iabors OF this Legis-
lature, when every patriotic member was
earnestly surviving to -oifoot a beneficial set
Element, this faction appeared. Under call
for caucus Of all the opponents Of the Nc
. Culloch bill, convention composed OF In
dependents and Republicans assembled at
Mozart Hall, in Richmond, on the. 25th OF
February, 1879 and proceeded to organize
new party, with complete party ma
ehinery, outslde. Of the Conservatiyeorgnni-
cation. The leaders Of this faction, who
call themselves Re&diusters,', without
waiting for the results of any amendments
q or notifications to the bill then pending in
the Legislature, proclaimed their hostility
, to 1t, and avoWed their purpose on this SIM
gle issue TO set up q rival and competing
party organization throughout Virginia
pledged to resist the McCullocb bill no mat
ter by whatimposing weight OF Conser-
xatiye Judgment the bill should be passed.
They openly invited into their organization
=, recruits from all sources. They tried to
induce Republicans to Join them, but they
i have had only small success in this. They
resisted every remonstrance and appeal TO
forbear from sowing discord In the Con-
sentative ranks, and TO yield, as & loyal
and reasonable minority should always
yield, to the expressed judgment and will
OF an overwhelming majority OF the party
whose name they claim 10 wear. Deaf to
all such appeals. they deied the counsels Of
the Conservatives, and went on with their
dlsorganizing work OF setting up new
political party with rival and conflicting
claims and candidates to those Of the Con-
servatiye party. From the day Of their
doings in February to the present hour
this faction has steadily prosecuted their
. political and personal designs, until now,
> without disguise, they are working the ma
chinery Of IN Independent, party ALL over
Virginia are calling conventions TO. put
their candidates for the Legislature In The
=, feld. land are seeking to ill all branches Of
the State; government with persons pomi-.
mated and TO be elected under theiIdarty
machinery. There can be no denialto the
plain inference from all these doinss-that
- !shis faction is seeE,ug to rule or ruin the
Conservative party II they succeed In
their plans the disruption and downfall of
: our party is ineVItable. No clearer
duty could be imposed upon us as
committee charged with maintain
ing the organization and vindicating the
principles and policy ct our party than 10
invoke Conservatives ia every county and
. town to brand with their reprobation, these
facttonists and their schemes 10 erect new
