n. xo,efs Oh yitgtnia may well ask j
.A..m.e,yes what the agitators are aitef. z
lVf,at object can these disturbers OF the
nri,,llc peace hope to accomplish by Eeepang
40 ! constant agitation Of the question q
he reiundlng Of che public debit Those
Who know the leaders In this movement |
need no information onalhis point. These
enemies OF good government are xnown to |
he actua,eti by the most selfish Ut motives,
and to be aiming Al nothing else tAan the
promotion Of their own ambitious Schemes,
They are Is destitute Of pnitsathropy as
OF genuine patriotism, and seek the welfare
OF nobody except themselves. They would
rather rule in he'll than serve In heaven.
Their designs are evil, a.d evil only.
But are not maiority Of tue voters Of
Virginia in favor Of acquiescence IN The set
element made by the McCULLocH bill? So
we think, and so we have said repeatedly.
How, then, eau it be true that the restless
aeitators are striving only 10 iurther their
own ambitious plans? Wcsanswer first
that there are localities where the deceived
voters are in the m%iority. We say the
ssdeceived voters" be cause there are very
few men in any count y, city, or town, Weo
!. knowingly vote W. ons. dn such locar-
ties the disturbeTs Of the public peace
11pd it to their interest not to allow
the eyes Of their victims to be opened.
But, secondly, the. main reason why these
agitators contiuu Q ibefr labors in oeposi-
ton to the wis hes 81 "a maioriry OF the
& Conservative VIC tiers issfhat their only hope
Of obtaining OFF '.ce Is BASED upon the possf
biIiry Of drawn * on q portion OF the coz
serya,ive voter from stheir party and get

AGs We say ssese men iiaye;no more hope OF
Z, securing appointment position In the Con-
servatfvc party than any enc OF them has
OF being President OF -ttesTnited States.
WHY theygery idea OF promoting these men
in partyIwbichT boasts Of such leaders as
render illuslrieus the Conservative party is
; absurd and preposterous. Think Of elecs:
!, ing one ps ,them to the United States Senate
over the statesmen of:whem Virginia can
still proudly boast. Think ct, AlA ssEY, the

no hope inside Of tue Conservative party.
They KIN ox full we'll that their ambition
will never be 'gratified il theyswait for pro-
motion in that party. Indeed, it is evil
dent that they bad made up their minds to
this effect before they went last February
into the M0znrt. Hall Convention, formed
new organization, and cat shemselyes off
from the Conservative party. Surely they
no loneerc!aim to belong 10th aatter party,
or to have anght to do with dts manage
ment, its hopes, its nominations, its con-
ventions, or cts future movements. We
certaiHly shall refuse to go into any con-
yentioH with the organizers OF the Mo.
zart-Haal party, or to support any OF them
for any office unless they renounee their
new organization and .ask to be received
back into: the Conservative party. They
voluntarily went out Of tie, Conservative
party, ssd. surrendered all their Claims to
be considered as members OF it. They or
ganized q new perty, and are pledged to
!, promote its fortunes ut. the expense OF the
old one. Ehey are, lin a;word, not Eonser-
/: yatives, bat ngitators and repcaiers men
i devoted ts their oWa interests, and Having
neither past nor lot in the Conservative
party Of Virginia. egg
