Had Grant been the KepuDncan HoWiucc

variation of the programme to the extent
| Of endorsing Grant and putting 1ui' ne
publican ticket in the field. Tue zeal OF
| the boss for the Democrat nominees Is new
born. He complained OF the Conserva-
tive Committee, falsely charging II wiih
| reading him out OF the party, and the COM
mittee retired. He complained OF Funder
| influence In taking initial steps to SEND dele
gates to Cincinnati, and he was cordially
Invited to cooperate 70 the fullest extent OF
| hi, boosted strength in selecting representa-
| live men. He spurned every overture,
denounced every step looking TO concilia-
ton. When Readjusters dared TO cooperate
with the Conservatives in putting the most
available Democratic candidate in nomina-
ton. he denounced them as Judas lscariots
| and Benedict Arnolds. Democratic princi-
pes set as lightly on his shoulders as prom.
lses 10 public creditors. ana he has deter
mined to huzza for Hancock simply be-
cause be sees tie defeat OF Garfield written
on the wall. The lhusiasm awakened for
the soldier-s,atcsman in Virginia and all
along the line Of States mas shaped bis pur-
poses. He knows it suits just now the
hungry gang at his back 10 be in at the
death OF Republicanism and the distribu-
ton OF lOayes ana lSnes.
Democratic contemporaries outside Nlr-
ginia are urging our fusion with the Boss.
L. cannot be done. Ii Malone had partici-
mated i'm The Cincinnati Convention and
given evidence OF where be stood political

III he had participated in the Richmond
Convention to send delegates 10 Cincinnati
and name an electoral ticket, we would have
supported the ticket named, though all cleo
tors upon il were Readiusters. Al Stsunton

alesce with the Radical party and make
himself the State. Our friends a, a
distance reed feel no apnrehension>
for Virginia. Malone will draw more
largely from the negroes won to his
embrace by promises that Halter them
with more perfect equality than from the
Democratic. Conservative element, and the
result will be the election Of the regular
ticket by decided plurality. In the last
GubernatoriaI Convention the Boss claims
TO have nominated Holiday and made the
platform. and In the late State election to
have obtained a majority Of The popular
vote. But it is known that he controlled
that Convention simply by the non-agree-
ment OF two-thlrds majority politically

nor j. he Conservative. He is merely
bull" or "bear" in politics-a specula-
tor, "on the make" with a command over
proseytes that has sealed their lips in halls
of legislation as we'll as on the stump when
called on TO answer how he stood on ma
tional issues.
With man having so bad an eminence.
fusion is not desirable. The day for fusion
has passed, and the day for an active, red-hot
campaign, on plans matured after the
gravest consideration, has come. All the
fusion possible to effect has been effected,
and tue names OF such prominent, ReadiuSter
leaders a. Barbour, and Menefee, and Hale,
and RPdd, Dr. MOfiiett, and Others, is guar
antee that Reldjnsters from conviction,
and not Readiusters for place and plumber,
will support the regular electoral ticket.
We do not disguise from ourselves or from
others that in making a straight-out fight
under the circumstances there Is work, hot
work, and an abundance OF il, before all
who have at heart the election OF tue Gin
cinnati nominees. But the greater the task
imposed on us. the greater will be our rea-
son for triumph and the prOuder will our
pulses beat when we meet to celebrate with
bOnfres and rejoicing the great victory OF
the Hancock and English electors over
treacherous friends and open foes. Ring
out the regular ticket in every hamlet, and
down with the Boss and his gang!
