Friday MORNING. JAN. 80. 1880.

We can see no reason for the Conserva-
tive organization of the State varying one
hair-breadth from the course it has always
pursued, always excepting that reading out
nrocess. which is thing of the past, and
something we hope not to see repeated un
1oss IN a different issue. Let the Cen :
tral Committee meet at tho proper time
and call the State convention to send dele
oates to the Democratic National Con-
yention, If they will look at the field they
will find that there is nothing else they
ran do. There are two other political Or
oanizations in the State-the Republican.
which has already moved in this matter.
and the Readjusters. About the first of
the two it is plain sailing; about the second
not so plain. AS far, however. as any
published evidences of its purposes that
we have seen 60, it proposes to maintain
it's present organization intact as far as it
is able. and 90 into the Presidential cleo
tion with Readjuster electoral ticket-a
rather queer element in national politics.
The prospect, therefore, is that there may
be three tickets in the field. 1t will be-
we think, pretty hard task to convince
the Readjuster- Democrats of the State
that instead of voting for ticket pledged
to the nominee of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, they must vote for an
independent electoral ticket. pledged to
nothing and nobody, and as likely to give
the State to one candidate as another. and
we apprehend that the new party will not
have an easy time in keeping it's members
in line.
The plain road for the Conservative Or
panization of Virginia is to march strait
along, no side issues, no reading out. no
making terms for anybody or with any
body. If the Readjuster Democrats shall
20 into the Conservative primaries, carry
them and thus get the control of the Or
ganization, let us take it as the fate of war;
if they decline to participate In them ana
prefer to go with their new allies, very good.
We may be defeated2 True! But de-
feat is not SO terrible. Much worse things
may happen to party than defeat. De-
moralization for instance.

considered himself a great poet, and ;S "a

prod uced as crazy a piece of doggerel s-On

would have written.
A year or 80 ago the writer saw in New
York paper some account of this Same I'M

Presbyterian church in that city, wh en- be
was allowed to address the cOngreg. stion.
In all the newspaper accounts that have

to suspect that as lunatic he is not re-
