Such Is plain, unvarnisbed tale o! Tue
course and purposes OF the leaders OF Tue
July Convention with respect TO the Ma.
tionai Democratic ticket, and In the llgnt
OF this statement let every virginia Con-
seryatiye answer for his duty.
For fifteen years the Democracy OF the
Union have longed for this hour, wnen,
their internal dscords healed, Federal in
reference with elections measurably pro-
bibited, and a Congress, Democratic in both
bouses. securing an honest count. they might
take I'D the burden OF executive admins
tratIon and resume the record OF glory,
peace. prosperity, and fraternity where in
1880 IL was unhappily closed. To crown
these bopes or blast them is the high alter
native proposed to Virginia Conservatives.
To maintain the regular ticket is to secure
the State-to abandon it is to put it in
great peril, IL not certainly to transfer its
eleven electoral votes to the Republican
column.
How in such a contingency should a Viz
GINA Conservative act? Let each patriotic
citizen answer.
We ask no man to abandon any position
his sense OF right may induce him to favor
as to State questions. 1t is not pretended
that any Federal matter is susceptible OF
solution by State party. or that any purely
State question enters into this national can
vass. Least OF all that in the great struggle
now impending for restoration OF true
union the subject Of rcadiu.ting the debt
OF Virginia finds any place. Nothing OF
good can come from the support by any
Conservative OF the July ticket to any cause
but the cause of the enemies OF the south
and popular liberty-the Republican party.
Already and universally the political
managers OF that party throughout the
country see and glory in the advantage the
July Convention has given them. Every
Republican organ in the North applauds
this Malone movement, and as soon as II
was coBsummated Mr.. Jewell, the chairman
OF the Republican National Committee. an
nounced for the first time bis confident hope
Of carrying TO the Republican candidates
the vote OF Virginia.
1t remains with Virginia Conservatives,
the lifelong foes OF all that Republicanism
represents, to say whether they viii aban-
don the regular ticket OF their party and
justify these hopes Of their enemies, and
this at the bidding Of men now in notori-
Gus alliance with Virginia Republicans, and
but recently plotting to transfer the vote OF
Virginia to Republican candidate for the
pre- .idency, so bound up with all that is
corrupt. profigate, and tyrannous in the
administration Of this Government that his
own party have turned their backs upon him
forever. A. NJ. hElLEY,
Chairman Executive Committee.
