the Virginia Liberals. George G. Gorban,,
editor-in-chief refused to give the card place,

was hustled out of the office by his friends,
who were uncertain as to where the matter
would terminate, aad Jorgensen took the

this liberal national principle alone, lnde-
pendent of any local differences, the Repub.

Gcnrge &. Gorhanl.
WASHINGTON, April Yesterday
National Republican, commenting on the
recent visi. of delegation Of Virginia
straight-out Republicans to the Executive
Mansion, took occasion TO express sarcastic
doubts of the sincerity of Congressman Jor-
gensen's reported disaYowal OF sympathy
with the usterances OF the speakers whom
he introduced. 1t also described him as 'the
recognized Head CeHter OF few Republicans
who favor a side-show to the great Bourbon
circus in Virginia next summer" and as being
greatly exercised lest his privileges as q
disbuyser of Federal patronage shall be
pruned. To-day's Post publishes q cau-tic
rejoinder froJn jorEensen, addressed to Geo.
9. Gorhana, as the Republicans political edi.
tor. In this Communication, which was re-
fused publication in the Republican, Jorgen-
sen explicitly defines his position, and then
carries the war into Africa. He contends
that the Virginia Republicans should main
tain their party oIgInization and not merge
it with any other. He says: THE State
Central Committee should call & Republican
Convention, whose province it should be,
through the regularly authorized repre-
ssntatiyes of the Republicans throus hout
the STATE, to do whatever would be most
conducive to the interests Of tee Republican
party, its success in the future aud the main
tenance OF It's principles. whether that should
De an alliance with the Readjusters or not.
The latest information that L have of Senator
Mahone's view is that tie Republicans
should amalgamate or fuse themselves with
the Readjusters. This | look upon as sui
cidal to the future of our party in the State
OF Virginia, and monstrous proposition. y
He points out that the Republicans at the
last election cast $1,000 votes, and the Read
justers only 10000. and expresses his decided
opinion that no sane Republican of honest
convictions can, ia view of these figures, ask
the Republicans of Virginia to abandon
their organization, amalgamate with the Re-
ol5 oil , =, lo+
By their votes. Jorgens concludes his letter
to Gorham as follows:
And now, here should like to know who are
yoll that you should act a censor OF my nduct,
and that you should construe my motives, and that
you should taunt me with failing to perform my
duty to the Republican party of Virginia OF the
nation? 1t seems to that your assurance is al
most boundless. Taking into consideration the fact
that have never been anything during my lifetime
bnt Republican of the straightest sect sustaining
its principles under all circumstances, and almost
going through hell in maintaining them, and
through dangers and prosecutions III up
holding them that you never dreamed
of, that you should be the one to attack me thus,
passes my understanding, for are you not the very
same man who only two short years ago narshaled
and led the Bourbon Democratic cohorts in Califor-
MIA and almost succeeded in your efforts to destroy
the Republican party there? Are you rot the man
who nearly every Republican in California is de-
nouncing in the bit rest te: ms, AID thanking A.
10 ire party YOU nearly destl Dyed. And in mputirg
themotives that you do-that am actuated only
by my desire to control patronage--do you, who
charge this to me, not ow that the whole country
Irrespective Of party, sees in this interest Displaced
by you in the Readiusters success in Yi.5i,ia that
it is surely for the purpose of securing Office
through the influence that senator Malone now
possesses? No, SIR ] >.iyise You TO extract the
beam from your o"l eye you eCdeavor to take
the mote CIT OF mine. Be more charitable 10
imputipg motives to fellow Republican,
and permit him an expression OF his honest
opinions and convictions, remembering all
the time that he is kicking inside OF
his party traces, and not outside of them. I call
upon you in justice TO myself, to publish the above
letter, FOR am unfortunate in not having a news
paper OF my own in which to express my OPINION
and As you have been employed By the Republican
Stockholders Of the National Republican news
paper to publish such matter as would advance the
cause OF Republicanism, / trust that having an
identity OF principles and interests with them Will
be pernitte 70 have the same opportunity with
yourself in setting myself right before the public.
Very respectfully, yours, etc.
