Are Readjusters Republicans?

The leaders Of the Readjuster party
have gone to the Republican party, and
they expect to carry with them the rank
and file. In this they will be very
much disappointed unless we greatly
mistake the good sense and patriotism
of the masses of that party. The VAL
ley TSrgi'sian states shat the leaders of
the Readjusters have fully identified
themselves with the Administration,
and that any success which may here
after attend the Coalition will be the
success of the Administration. In other
words 1t is an enlarged edition of the
Republican party, and will be 80 read
of all men,"
It is now understood that, whoever
in the future acts with the Coalitionists
does it with the understanding that he
is to be considered Republican. Hon
est Democrats, who were merely Read
justers and not Republicans, will no
longer act with that party. The ques-
ton of readjustment is no longer an
issue. The simple question now is.
whether the voters will take position
in the ranks of the Democratic or the
Republican party? There are now but
these two parties in this State, and the
voters will determine by their votes
whether they wish to be considered as
Democrats or Republicans.

HOLDING THE ADMINISTRATION TO

Gov. Cameron, accompanied by Sena'

tration should stand to the bargain it
made with Malone, and should give
him the exclusive control of Federal
patronage in the State-that he might
turn out of Office whom he pleased, and
fill them with whom he pleased. These
two members of the Cabinet are re.
ported as having promised Cameron
that his demand should be complied
with. This furnishes food for thought
on the part of the present Federal office
holders in this State. Will they hum
bly, bow and cringe that thrift may
follow fawning ?"
