son and the demands made on you at home
YOU have answered with patriotic zeal. and
come from the Potomac 10 the North Caro-
lima line. congratulate you on the proud
position YOUR party holds in the politics OF
ibe country. 1t is no longer heralded TO
the world as a pitiful party, but You are re-
cogDized everywhere as the honest and only
debt.paying party in the State. [Appause. ]
You have established yourselves through
out the broad limits Of the country as a
party jealous OF the honor Of your native
STATE. and ever Jealous TO protect her
rights. You say you mean to pay, and you
world that YOU mean TO pay to the
llsI dollar sll that Virginia honestly owes.
The vile and liberal policy OF your party
has commended il to fair minded men in all
sections. For fifteen years politicians and
neWspapeTs have talked and written about
toe restoration Of iraternal feeling, but II
bss remained for the little Readi iuster party
q Virginia TO come forward and break
down the barriers Of hate by proclaGinS a
liberal policy. During the last ten years
parties have risen and tlOurished for time,
But they soon became absorbed in one OF
DO other Of the national organizations.
The Rfadjuster party Of Virginia is the
only independent organization OF them all
that has made Itself felt in the poll
ilcs OF the country. And now, with
his encouraging outlook before you, re-
member YOUR small beginning, and how
you bad no friends anywhere until within
tie lat twelve months. | invoke a spirit OF
harmony and fraternity in your delibera-
ton.. ard trust that you viii rival each
other in magnanimity and generosity, so
ibsl We may depart from here the same solid
body We were when we met; and that VINO
ever bears of the honOrs viii feel that they
are followed by united band. ln conclu'
