That's candid. "In all the appoint
ncnts," Mr.. ARTHUR has befriended ana
benefited Readiusters, and therefore the
Nrcs will fqrsake the Democratic party
and Join the Republican. "ln every in

scouting the Democrats Of South Corolina
that Senator BUTLER had TO leave his seat
In the United States Senate and go home TO
aid in their defence. Mr.. ARTHUR is the
ally Of CoNKLING, LOGAN, CAMERON, w. T.,
CHANDLER, and the rest OF the Radical
leaders who belong to the immortal 3O6.
Let us quote the NenS further. 1t says:
1.-the logical position OF every Readiust-
or IL that Of q supporter Of Mr.. Arthur's
administration. The Administration sup
ported the Readiuster party in the cam
paign Of 1851, and il has persistently and
consistently recognized the Readiuster
party since that event in every act touching
the interests Of Virginia. Every appoint
ment TO Office In Virginia has been made
from the ranks OF the Readjuster party,
and the moral power OF the Administration
has been and is now expended unreserved-
Nv in support OF the Readiuster policy. In
the coming campaign for Congress the dis
trict nominations must be and will be con-
ferrcd on those only who are in full accord
and sympathy with the Administration"
Look out, FULKERsoY. We quote again {:
"Nothing would so well please the Bour-
bon enemy as a departure from this line OF
policy. Nothing else would more surely re-
instate the waning fortunes OF the great
defeated. To do otherwise would be TO
engrift Big-Fourism on to the party stock.
The Readjuster who cannot stand this test
IL ready for the dissolution Of the alliance
which defeated Bourbonism, and which
alone can peypetuate its defeat. The talk
which breathes the spirit OF disloyalty TO
the Administration because the debt ques-
ton has been settled is Bourbon talk. 1t Is
not only unsound in policy, but uniustifa-
BILE in morals. II is bad politics as WE'LL"
Let the Big Four beware! We quote
again:
"Eext November comes the first oppor-
tupity for endorsement from the people,
and they will answer promptly and loudly
that the President has kept faith with and
deserves the confidence and support OF
every Readjuster in Virginia. That OPP
portunity will be used TO display the fact
that the Bourbons condemn Mr.. Arthur
for his support Of the Readiuster party,
which in its turn will yield his administra-
ton u bold and hearty support for his en-
dorsement of liberalism in the Old Do
minion.
"Now let every coming Readiuster con-
vention broadly and boldly speak this Ian
guage, and put in the field for Congress
such men as viii carry that flag right in
the face OF every Bourbon in the State"
We like that article. 1t toes the mark.
1t realizes what was told the voters last
year that there can be but two parties in
this country.
