My Dear Smith:
AS soon as the fall sets in Twill buckle on
my armor for the struggle in this election
| over the debt question meanwhile the doc
tors say I must rest. Organization and ac-
| tive eXerton is needed. With these we
must succeed. Your friend,

LYNCHBURG, VA, August 3, 1879.
Hon. C. Z. Smith,:
Dear Sir,-I intend going to Richmond
| Thursday, but have some fear lest shall
be disappointed. II I do not get there |
wish TO give you authority to cast my vote
| for all measures which in your judgment
are necessary to thoroughly organize the
party, and which have in view an active
canvass of the State in support OF the &C
ton OF the Legislature in the settlement
they have made of the public debt. Let us
| give the reputation agitatOrs such an over
throw as will silence them for the future,
and it seems to me the people only need to
be informed and enlightened and they will
rally around the standard Of honesty.
'. Yours, .&c., Til. Y. WILLIAMS.

yoll would submit it to the committee:
ReSo1ced: That in order to preserve the
unity ana integrity OF The great Conserva.
i've party OF virginia it is absolutely ne
ccssary that those persons who are seeking

political organizations should be no LONGER
regarded as Conservatives, or admitted to
any place in the party, until thew have
purgcd themselves OF acts which constitute
rebellion to Conservative principles and
policy.
