marty in Virginia independent ct both the =
Republican andShe Conservative parties Is
mere talk, The scheme Is impractIcapie-
totally impracticabIe. The Republicans Wlls
not allow the negroes to be taken OUT OF
their hands. And as to the Conservative
party. a.larse majority OF the whites oeans
still true to the party, and having Foted
with the party at the late elections, u
T,llews that all nominations for ONCE
will be controlled by that large majority,
though they may support ReadjuSsers.
The neg,oes will fave no casting
vote in Conservative conventions, nor
in Conservative primary elections. The
nresideutial. campaign will be, an active pro-
gress when candidates for Congress are to
be nominated; and the Republicans Will
command every negro vote. Where will
the RtEdiusters be them? viii they run
candidates OF their own, knowing that the
Republicans would. by so suicidal aud un-
justifab,e a course on their part, be ena-
bled to elect every congressman to be
chosen IN Eastern Virginia9 What would
they gain by it,? Who would be benefited !?
Whe. would be injured? And then, when it
came to choosing presidential electors, can it
be supposed for moment that the Read
jnsters would nominate and vote for set
Of electors OF their own, thus insuring the
election OF Repu bican President by the
vote OF Virginia? We have better opin-
ion Of the great mass Of the Readjusters
elected to the General Assembly than to
suspect them Of such treachery to Virginia
and the South; and as to the white people
who voted for those members, we don't be-
Iieye there is one in ten Of them who would
countenance such a course. What then
Why, they will net acknowledge that they
were ever outside Of the Conservative
party. but will resume their places as II
nothing had happened, taking their chances
for Office along with the rest Of the Conser-
yatiyes.
