Those gentlemen who will be members

what they can do as those outside of that
organization are about what it will do.
Auditor Mass ey who knows, we presume.
quite as much about it as Senator Malone
was unable to say up to the date of his
speech at Leesburg, last week. He is re-
ported there as protesting against any af-
Citation with the regular Democratic Or
aanization and yet admitting that ''a con-
tsnoe,acy might arise in which they would
support the nominee of the Cincinnati
Conyention.'' Further on he said that both
the national parties having by that time
made their nominations, the Readjusters
of Virginia could s'choose between them, -
but in concluding he remarked that the
July Convention "might deem it more pol
itic to adjourn without naming an electo.
raj ticket at all, and leave each individu-
al voter free to exercise his own judge
ment. We suspect the Auditor neared the
right thing in his conclusion. When you
try to bring the intelligent individual
Democrat voter to accept Republican
nominee for President, or to make hi
voting for Democrat dependent on {
contingency, you have undertaken al
impossible task, and Mr.. Massey is neares
right in concluding that there will be NJ
electoral ticket adopted by the July Con
vention. This talk about a contingency
may be addressed with possible ghost Q
chance Though hardly that) to the col
ored Republican wing Of the Readjuste
organization, for besides two door-keepeI
ships, it's chief reward in state affairs ha
consisted of contingencies, but it will nc
