unjust that they resolved not to submit to the pro-
posed charges until, through a regularly cousti-
tuted committee, appointed at public general
meeting of those using the instrument, report be
received based upon intelligent facts and data usti
flying the system and rates contemplated by the
company. To that end, and, as was supposed in
good faith. such a committee met the officers and
certain of the stockholders of the company, and,
under tender of willingness and anxiety by
them, as expressed through the public press
of this city. published by the admitted
authority Of one or more Of the companys officers
The result Of this meeting appears in our former
report and is probably fresh in the mind of every
member of this association; the attitude at this
meeting, and since, assumed and maintained by
the officers of this company toward its patrons the
members of this association, is not, in our iudg-
ment, such as to tend to close the breach now ex-
listing between them and while it is not our pur-
pose desire to dictate terms TO this company and
while willing to pay reasonable rates, based
on reliable statistics, We do claim aud
insist that due regard and respect should and must
be had for and toward this association and that
whatever terms be agreed upon OH arrangements
made for the use of this commodity by its men,

of the questions at issue, shall first be submitted by

THE READJUsTER's CONVENTION
met at Richmond, Va, yesterday
Ssven hundred and thirty-eight dele
gates were present. The Convention
gave very enthusiastic reception to
Gen. Mahoue, who made one of his
Characteristic speeches and called on
his followers to use every effort to
unite upon popular and efficient candi-
dates. But the Convention was ex-
tremely boisterous and lnharmonious.
Up to one o'clock this morning it fail
ed to agree upon candidates, and, after
the second ballot, Mr.. Lindsey Gre
atsd a great sensation by stepping to
the platform and nominating MIR. Rid
dleberger for Governor. He declared
that this was life and death struggle
and that failure meant the exile from
their native homes of every Readjuster
in Virginia. The nomination OF Rid
dleberger set the Convention by the
ears, and there was likelihood Of
stampede. Mr.. Riddleberger declined
to be candidate. Gen. Mahone's
name was then proposed fol- Governor.
In the turmoil that followed Capt.
John s. Wise proposed an adjourn
ment. He followed this up with an
eloquent appeal and secured a majority.
So the Convention will have another
day before it. Should Malone be
nominated for Governor and accept
and resign his seat in the Senate it will
be perhaps fortunate for the whole
country.

The Origin of the Quarre

From the st. Louis Republican.
Do you know that the later politics o

much more than is generally suppose,

For instance, during that winter mucl
occurred 10 disturb and embitter the Der
sonal relations of prominent men in the
Republican party. Have yoa observed
that ever since that contest CoakIiDe and
Edmunds have. not affiliated cordially
with what has come to be known as the
Ohio crowd OF Republicans?
1t is an interesting historic fact that
during the winter of 1sT6-77 that crowd,
including Hayes, Garfield, She rman, ana
Foster, were the leading spirits in a
movement, or you may cali ii a con.
spiracy, to bring about the counting OF
the electoral vote by Ferry, who was
then President pro tenn. OF the Senate
and there is every probability that they
would have succeeded had IL not beer
Tor the determined and indignant oppos.
ition of Conkling and Edmunds. These
two Senators labored night and day to
thwart the scheme which The Ohio clique
we're attempting to carry out. For theil
Efforts they were in private denounced
and hounded in manner and measure
winch naturally eXasperated them, and
from that day to this they have had bul
little respect for or confidence in the
Ohio crowd.
You may remember that elaborate
TWO days speech made by Conkiing OH
the Eiecto raj Commission bill. Instead
OF discussing the merits of the bill, he
devoted nearly all his time and strength
to an argument against the authori OF
right OF the President OF the Senate to
count The vote or TO decide any disputed
question whatever. That speech was in
tended to crrsh that Ohio conspiracy,
and it DID, although John Sherman Ia
the Senate and Garfield in the Eouse af
terward attempted TO counteract the eff.
feet OF it by making ingenious craft,
pleas In support OF the theory that tbe
V lce-Presiden6 had the constitutions
right to count the vote.
In the inner movements at that crjsi,
many things occurred which tended tt
widen the chasm between Conkling anf
ths Ohio crowd; aud il has been CROWN,
wider and wider from that day to this.--
Public sentiment just now appears to b,
strong against the recent course Of Mr.
Conkling; but the public is ignorant @
much that has happened daring the las
hve years. Mark this: Senator Ed
munas, Though be may not approve O
Conkling's bold method of opposin
Garfield and Blaine, has no more respec
Tor those two leaders of the administra
ton than has Conkling.
