Gated by every member Of the two houses
CONGRESS from Virginia; and is suDporte'
by almost every Conservative paper IN ~
commonwealth that has remained at al
times aad under all circumstances true Y
that glorious party.
We saw it is bareiaced holiness iof tne
few papers which support the mozart, ne. !.
faction TO claim TO be Conservative, IN view l''a
y, tho facts we have Just rehearsed. bu'
what words can express the shameless I'M
nndepec OF those papers when their re
coras .rc taken into consideration? Ineft
j. known to us not one single one OF thelh
!, published in a congressional district II
which there was regular Cohsef'"'i''
nominee, that did not last year dese'1 tue
Conservative party and refuse TO sustain IT,
Nominees. not one such that ola not op'
pose The regular nominees OF the Cohsel'a''
tive marty: not one such that did not adVo-
co,e the election OF Greenback candidate
to Congress. We do not now reier 10 INC
Petersburg appeal, and the other Cohsel'-
alive Journals which think the act'on OF tae
State Central Committee was unauthoriZ"ds
hut we allude to the half-dozen papers
which side with the SIozartcrs in their
opposi.ion to the MCCULlocH settlement.
The Richmond Whis advocated the cleo
ton OF ", w. NEWMAN over the old veteran
General JOE JOHNSTON, and the election OF
other boilers in other congressional dis
tricts. The Abingdon pirginian, the NOR
ion Herald, the Wytheville Dispatch, and
the Salem Register, all bolted the nomlha-
ton of Colonel j. B. RICHMOND. the regu-
chosen Conservative candidate. JAMES
A. Frazier, the editor OF the Rocicbridge
ENTERPRISE, was the bitterest opponent OF
RAN. Tucker.
Those are the papers which denounce the
Conservative State Central Committee.
These are the papers that talk MS il they had
right 10 voice in the councils OF the Con-
se-va,.ve party. II they are Conservative
naners. then the Conservative party is
rore Of sand-a mere mob. II is not desefV-
ing of the name OF "party." It is the prey
OF the demagogue and the scbemer. II IS a
contemplate crowd OF nobodies, ana has
no organization which boilers need respect;
no rules which dcmagogues and piacc-hllnt-
ers may not with impunity disregard; ana
no claim to the support OF those VINO are
said to be IFS adherents.
But have we named all the sclf.styled
Conservative papers which are puol'shed
in congressional districts that had regula:
Conservative nominees last fall, which OPP
po.e the McCuLLoCH settlement? Let lib
see. The Bristol NeacS ,oaS opposed TO That
settlement, but its editor has assured the
pubic TINT he Is NOT m rnvor of %
repeal the MCCULLoCH act. The Abingdon
Standard supports the settlement. So do
the Christiansburg Messenger, the Newbern
People, the Wytbeville Enterprise, the So
lem Conservative, The Fincastle Herald, the
Bedford Star, the Bedford Sentinel, the
Pearisburs Virginian. the Floyd Reporter,
the Clinch Valley Ne,cS, the Hillsville Vlr'
qinian, the Lynchburg Neaos, the Lynch
burg V,rginian, the Farmville Journal tae
Farmvile Mercury, the DanVille Neaos, the
Danville Register, the Duntille Times,
the Chatham Tribune, the Mscklen6urg
Democrat, the Petersburg appeal, the
Norfolk Ledger, the Norfolk pngln-
ian, the Norfolk Landmark, the Freder-
ricksburg Ne,rs, the Fredericksburg Star,
the Fredericksburg Recorder, the Alexan-
dria Gazette, the Warrenton linden, the Cor.
louisville Gazette, the Staunton Spectator,
the Stanton indicator, the Harrisonhurg
Old Commonwealth the Roctinghans Regis
ter, the Shenandoah Valley, the Winches-
ter Ne,os, the Winchester Times, the Lees
burg WQShingtonian, The Lersburg Mirror,
the West Point Star, the Ifdelcatcr Inder,
the Hampton Monitor, the Nelson ETana-
liner, the Amherst Enterprise, the Char
lottesyilie Chronicle, the Charlottesville
Jefersonian, the Lexington Gazette, the
Suffolk Herald, the Portsmouth Enterprise,
the Orange Virainian, the Halifax Record
the Northern Neclc Nevs. the Blue Ridge
Echo. the Manassas Gazette, the Warren
Sentinel, the Clarke Courier, the Franklin
Gazette, the Charlotte Gazette. We THINK
Their, are some others, but we cannot no"
recall their names. Some half-dozen OF
these papers did not wish the Central Com
mites 10 exclude the Mozarters from the
Conservative party, but they all support the
MCCuLLoCH settlement.
TIL, Paqe Courier, the Highland Recorder
and The Rockingham Spirit ct the Valley
are opposed to the McCuLLocH settlement
but as there was no nominee for Congress
in their district last year, we cannot say
whether they would have boted or not.
The Portsmouth Times we do not exchange
with, and therefore we do not know its ex.
act position.
Now, why pay any attention 10 the bolt.
ers? They bolted last year, and yet did not
succeed In defeating single Conservative
candidate for Congress. So next fall, the
boilers Iill be again defeated almost every
where. Instead Of. electins a mai ority OF
two thirds (Which majority they must have
bsiore they can override the Governors
Y.to), they will not elect ane third OF the
