rEahOne,s Generalship.

The Virginia readjustera enter the political
canvass more like old veterans than new re-
cruits. Their convention was harmonious and
expeditions. II must be conceded that 10 get
ting bis party ready for tue field Senator Ma
hone has displayed the highest order Of politi-
cal tact and ability, as well as undaunted firm
ness. 1t was hardly TO be supposed that the
dlscordant elements, which made up the large
convention, could be held together for the
transaction OF all the Decessary business with
out some outbreaks OF dissatisfaction or rebel
lion. There were some who wanted q ticket
made entirely OF democratic readiusters; others
Insisted upon republican representation
upon the ticket. There was sharp
competition for the gubernatorial nominations
and Indications OF serious dissatisfaction on the
part OF the faction which should witness the
defeat OF Its favorite. Malone quietly deter
mined upon his program and his ticket in
advance, AID both were adopted by the conven-
tion. The readJusters begin the fight in good
shape. They are united and harmonious They
are ably led and are evidently hopeful. The
party is fearfully handicapped, however. by the
RiddleOerger bill That measure, plainly
defined, means fOrclble adjustment OF
the state debt; IT compels the pubic creditor
TO accept less than he believes to be due him.
under the threat that he must take what Is
offered him or get nothing. This Is too much
Ike reputation TO receive the endorsement OF
any large proportion Of the people OF this coun-
try. The readjusters have reaffirme1 their
faith In and adherence TO the Rlddieberger
bill. and this part of their platform ought to
overthrow their party. especially If the demo-
Gratis take broad and distinctive ground In favor
OF the honest payment OF the state debt.
