The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-04-13


che lotima,los Of the New vcwk Times that
che Chicago Convention utgat refuse to ad-
nm sucn delegation to sesss 10 that body.
Nov, We did not and 10 net understand The
7smss 10 mean siupsy that a delegation
con possd Jointly es R&diust~s ana Re
pusMcans would probably be refused sd-
nlsslon, but thM tse stausSon Convea-
elem should tusu ont TO beaansion conVe"-
ssen. and shossld agree to form fussco
,paectoral ticket, the Chicago Convention
vould owe Il to stseIf to keep delegation
sent nv sueh body outof Republican Ma
tiouai Convention. II was cot to any psfsioa'
lar men that the Times supposed that the
convention would oijed, but to the princ'-

very irgr uious In the fnteiiigenccr to sup
press what The Ji@es SAYS, comment
upon therairuess of the Dispatch, ana then
exhibit dts own regard for fairness by 'cao-
ing lie readers to infer that 1t has CORRECTLY
stated the purport OF the singing remarks
of It's New York contemporary but T" u"
device which viii not deceive anybody VINO
resds The article OF the Times carefully.
That paper, 1t is true. speaks OF "ias'on
de,ess,esv to Chicago; but that Is not all
It speaks Of. IL objects TO coalition Tor
auv purpose. We again Reproduce its Ian
gusge:
"Wbjle this result might be obtained,
howeyer-tbat Is TO say while 1t Is rea-
sonably certain that union OF the Repub-
urans and Rexijusters on the presidential
<,uesfiop would lead to the defeat oil Tue
electoral ticket put forward by the Virginia
Dem ,crats-it Is still more certain thit any
sucb union and its sanction by the National
Republican organization would 10 the
marty incalcuiabie injury throughout the
country. The Convention OF Virginia he
puhljcaus which on the 21st instant meets
at Stanton to elect delegates to Chicago
should bt guided only by the example or
the national leaders Of the party, who have
so frequently declared in favor OF honest
money, ana the honest payment TO The last
penny OF all debt, pubic and private. The
Republicans OF Virginia, standing upon an
honest platform, Can better afford to be de-
feated by the trickery, ballo'-box stui1in@,
and false counts OF their antagonists than
they c,n to succeed by q union with set
OF INSCRIPTIONS demagogues and repudia-
tors. II, despite the warning OF their best
friend, hoping for little temporary al
ya0tgge. they make such union ana SEND
fusion delegates 10 Chiclgo, it Is question
whether or not tue National Convention
coul0, in justice 10 itself, admit them"
What docs that language mean! 1t is
plain. 1t needs no Interpreter. 1t denounces
"un,on OF the Republicans and Reid
justers on the presidential question mot
in the mere matter Of elecilng delegates 10
Chicago. "Any such union, and its sane
ton by the National Republican orgaulza-
ton, would do the party lncalculable injury
throughout the country" Wbyi Not be-
cause the men deputed to Chicago might be
party is g. in favor OF honest money and the
honest payment to the last penny OF all
deb.s. public and private" and because de-
feat h u be preferred to success won by
"union with set Of INSCRIPTIONS dema-
gogues and repudintorS."
Regulators" il the telling word. The
National Republican party pluOes itself
upon us record US debt-payiDg party-as u
party thai has upheld the credit OF the ma
ton, made It's greenbacks as good rs gold,
funded its debt at low rates Of interest, and
thus brought up to the support OF That party
the moneyed men OF the northern States.
For The Chicago Convention to admit dele
gates sent to that body BY State Conven.
ton which had formed an electoral ticket
composed 10 part OF Republicans and in
part OF "repudiators" would be to abdi-
cate its functions as the highest representa-.
tive body OF the Republican party, aud to
lower itself to level with "demagogues
and repudIators This is what the Times
meant, and his vigorous protest Of The lead
ing GRANT organ in the United States viii
be respected by the Republican National
Convention.
The scheme is entirely imprac,icable and
foolish unless Genera, MALONE intends u
put mp his delegation to the highest bidder
not directly IN money perhaps, but in
directly In money because in patronage
What else can the MALONE organs mean by
their declaration that 1t will place virgipi,
10 commanding position" In a posi-
ton to command" whata They would
never answer, Money" What then
Iuasnnch az the Democrats have contro
OF both houses OF Congress, the un
pledged electors cannot g. command >
any consideration for Virginia whicl
the Democrats Of that body would no
much more readily grant to Demo
cratic electoral ticket than to an uppIedget
electoral ticket. What, thea, can the an
pledged" 'commandf NOthinx bat patros
ages nothing but Office; soothing but tht
spoile. Virginia Is TO sell her vote TO Gene
ral GRANT on'condItion that be shall turn
over the Federal Offices in phis State to thu
genuine Republicans are opposed to such q
scheme. 1T would be strange II they were
not. And as TO The Democrats, IS would h'
o reflection upon their rerard for tb,
honor, reputation, and w,lfare Of their be

they viii consent 60 soc her electoral yot,

But what is i'll that Is to give to the un
