MIR. JOHN CoLLlNsoN's Report, OF NoVem-
ber.23, 1878, page Sd, paragraph 5tb,l came
on; Yesterday in furious articlcin defence
oi--what does the reader suppose :-of
the Conservative party's organization. Are
we not mistaken? Read for yourselves.
Here is a specimen OF the article:
ASA step towards this desirable end VIZ, pu r
ing the (onscl valve party of all VINO no NOT aetec
biii FIR The reauilslmcnt Of the public debt should
frat be passed. and then n convention OF inc toh-
tion Of the conservative members of the Lcgisla-
t,rp In nassiur it, y. Those who oppose
viii have u convention Of their OWN" &c.
We indulge our readers with this choice
extract from the Richmond Dispatch that
they NAV see for themselves how far the
fundcrs arc from having rclinqulshcd the
idea 81 disruptipg the Conservative party.
For here is deliberate proposition TO 90
What TO call 4 Conservative convention 10
decide a question Of difference between
Conservatives 20 cal! funders' conVeh-
ton TO make declaration on qucSlloh ol
domestic policy? OH. no! But actually 10
call convention OF Tie Conservative party
TO consist only OF those who agree with
Il lnr ,,,rn H.
tiop Of conservatives from which all VINO
cling TO the Conservative platform are to be
excluded.
What does this mean: Il means 10 READ
ont OF the Conservative rauks every man in
virginia who conScientiousy opposes the
brokers bill. 1t means to assert that no
man is 2 Conservative who secs, or thinks
Ie secs. that the reimbursement o! Mr.. McCus-
loch neither brings the annual interest With
in reach OF the present revenues OF the
State, nor places the public creditors upon
terms of equality. 1t means that the
Nine-and-Thirty have constituted them
selves tribunal to accuse and ostraclse the
rea6iusters.
Here is a clear surrender, or we fail to in
terpret correctly what the Wing means.
We understand 1t to be distinct admission
that the '' disorganizing faction" is AFRAID
to 90 before the people as the antagonist OF
the Conservative party, Notwithstanding
that the Conscryatyc-party leaders are will
ing to be handicapped (as the Wing regards
it) with the MCCCLLOCH bill. Here is rich
ness for YOU! The Funders haven" rclin-
oulshed the idea OF dlsrupting the Con-
seryativc party! The FundcrS make
"dclibcrate proposition" to "call Conser-
"yatve convention to decide a question OF
.ditferencc between Conservatives Hor-
rble! And this from the chief Touter OF
the Mozart Hall convention!
But we need not repeat the Wings Ian
gUasc. Read it and rccoliect THAT that
paper not only aided in organizing new
party on the very issue which it now depre-
Gates as an unfit one to raise between Con-
seryativcs, but has denounced the State
Central Committee Of the Conservative pal
ty AS the mere tools OF funders, bondhold-
ers. &c. Pray, what was the MoZart-llall
convention held for? What vas the new
party organized for? What was new
State Executive Committee created Tor, II
not in antasonism to the State Contra! Com
mittee of the Conservative party2 What
were the chairmcn OF county and city COM
mittecs appointed for, il not to supersedc
the chairmen OF county and city commit
tees Of the old Conservative party?
The members OF the House of Delegates
may he assured by this surrender that the
Mozart Hall party is already failure.
