Dczcndorf Against DczcndorG

In May last the Hon. John +. Dezen-
dorf, Republican member of Congress
from the Norfolk (Na.) District, addressed
to THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN n letter,
which appeared in our issue of May 4. 1t
discussed Virginia politics, strongly urged
that Rcadiuster convention be held,
and that the ticket therein nominated be
indorsed by the Republicans in u
State convention of their own. He
believed most fully in coalition, but notin
amalgamation. Let us make this plain.
General Malone favored single anti
Bourbon State convention, the delegates
to which should be chosen by all voters,
without regard to previous party atlilia-
tions. who were opposed TO the Bourbon
l'undcr party. This he called amalgamat-
ing all the anti-Bourbon elements. This
was opposed by some Republicans, who
favored coalition but not amalgamation.
They wanted Republican State conven-
ton to be held and indorse the Readjus-
ters. The reason given by them was that
ton of the Republican party in order to
keep up the party organization.
Mr.. Dezendorf was one Of this class.
That he has changed since and become
somewhat violent in his opposition to the
coalition which he earnestly advocated
in May is greatly to be regretted. AT a
meeting held at Portsmouth, Va, on the
23d instant, Mr.. Dezendorf waxed very
warm in his newly-espoused cause. We
give below the conflicting views of the
