that they ssissiuetly asset that their parry Is

negroes and whites, ns well as both Repu D
lIcaus aoa Conservatives, united by ttes
which connect them only with one another
and not with either the Republican party or
the Democrat,cpartN We quote from the
central organ. Iu tits issue OF Saturday
says:
..Tbcs come 10 the Capitol not as the re-
representatives. Of .a;Sarty, but as the CHOSEN
champions Of the people. They were chosen
nv the sseople hl*sontempt OF tie nat O!
party. They were chosen In opposition 10
the nominees efsrsrty. They were chosen
by the people irrespective OF party. AS
Legislators, and rs regards the issues Ia.
yolyed in the recent cunyass, they stano
pledged TO no party. For their speecnes
and their yoles'tzDon these issues they Wia
be responsible to DO party. When tney
come TO render an account OF their stcwaTd-
ship 1t must he to n higher power tnan tnat
welded by any mere party organization
Thrv were elected in opposition to the most
strenna,,s efforts OF one political body in
Virginia, aud without any aid or counte-
nance whatever from the recognized auti'or-
tiles OF the other. Against the machines
both al Richmond and Washington the
DeopIe have rebelIed, and to that revolt
The revolt OF "A sovereignty against usurp-
ers-the majority Of the incoming Leglsia-
ture owes its"telng."
That language is plain enough. lt is not
simpig an admi ssion that the Readjusters
have nothing to do with the Conservative
party, but is boast that they contemn both
the Republican and the Conservative par
Ties. Wehnew 1t will be said, IL not BY The
Republicans at least by the Conservatives,
tha, that language is intended to rally the
Republicans to the support OF General
MAHoIE for the United States Senate, and
NAV be rcpuiiated by the Rcadiusters so
soon rs they shall have secured that high
place for tue General. But they cannot be
allowed to play that little game. What they
say they are now they must be held to be
when the time comes to send delegates to
the Democratic National Convention; and
they must he todd that they have no part nor
lot in that matter-we mean, OF course,
those OF them who have formed an alliance
with tue Republicans to divide the spoils
between them, and as bride to the Repub-
licans lfnve agreed to partially re- Africanize
Virginia.
The Republicans having called of the
negroes, aud the true men among the Re-
adjuslers ;hayng renewed their allegiance
to the Conservative party, where will the
leaders OF 'that faction be 3? Stranded. They
will be left.out tn the cold. They will be-
long neither to the white mans party nor
10 the Republican party. They viii be re-
cognized as enemies to both.
All that the Conservatives have to do Is
to stand frmtiR line. They only Of all the
parties in Virginia have future. Either
the Republican party has lost its negro
allies, and is 80 longer anything but o
handful OF afiaers commanding no pri-
yates, or else the Readiusters' faction Is in
TINT condition. itrhe negroes cannot serve
in both armies at enc and the same time.
