The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-04-01


e : very thin one. and will hardly deceive
ANYBODY. At this very moment the Con-
scfva,iyc party and the Republican party
are variuc war against each other. Tney
have nothing In common that we Know Oh
The Democrats arc not expecting 10 maAc
converts from the Republican ranks, nor
are TIC Republicans expecting TO make CON
yeris from the Democratic ranks. ioe W.
nuh;Icaus intend to vote for the nominee Oh
the chicago Conyeation. The Democrats
intend 10 vote for the nominee OF the I'm
c,rnsu Convention. And yet the wing
which n few days ago was taking ABOUT

yeution. For no other reason a' '"'

mentioned in the Whig, are WORKING LOT
the nominee Of the Cincinnati Convention.
That would be an impossible state OF things,
indeed.
Nor is il "iair journalism" 10 represent
the Dispatch as calling the R"Sdiusters
either mongIcls" or "repudiators OF

know, because we discovered aud an

yember election, that the sooner the white
men of Virginia came together again, the
better for the country. We have since
done all that we could consistently to In
duce The whites who left the Conservative
party last fail to return to their allegiance
We have credited the most OF those men
with being sincerely DESTROYS oil securing
the election OF Democratic President.
For sueb. therefore, We have had no word
even OF unkindncss. We call those OF them
Repudiators" who are willing TO desert
the standard Of the Democratic patty and
form "Mougrel" ticket Of presidential
electors; not the R,adjusters proper.
The Dispatch intends to act hereafter as
heretofore. II will support win all It's
might the nominee OF the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. We Intend to make
war, as heretofore, upon unprincipled car
pet-baegers and scalawags if OF these tribes
any be left amongst US. We intend TO stant
by the white mans party. Four years ago
tho WHO, as a journal, and its editor as ar
individual, stood side by side with us II
the ranks OF that party. How can tina
paper do otherwise now? Has it changed
or hos the Republican party changed
Does it expect its unpledged electors Il
vote for the Democratic candidate! Then
why should they not pledge themselves Il
do so? Does it expect them to vote 10
the Republican candidate! Then, w
ask again, why not pledge themseive
to do SO? 1t is Impossible for al
Of them TO vote for both candidates
Would The Wing have them ciyid
their vote as between the twOs Why hay
a ticket AZ all il the votes Of one ba
its members are to neutraiize The vote
of the other half? Are these eleven yot'

How many OF them would have dared
