WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 70, 1888,
Our Opponents are Republicans.


The enemies Of the Democratic party IN
Virginia are most OF them Republicans
mssoucradng in the gulse OF "Libcrals y
or RcSdusters." The others OF them are
avowed Republicans. The two factions arc
engaged in the same work. Both are en-
deayoring TO defeat the Democratic party
In this State in 1850 as means OF securing
the vote Of Virginia in 1884 for the RepuD-
licxn nominee for President OF the unto"
States. Now, 1t does not in the least iha'-
Ter what these two factions may profess %
"a the issues Of this year, they must DOM
acknowledge when pressed 70 aiis"''
that they will next year DC p"''
and parcel OF the national kepuoNca"
party. We propose to produce some PROOFS
al the fact that the two factions are Dut ono
in their objects. Al meeting OF aNoWeu
Republicans held in Nansemond county On
Saturday Last. they candidly owned thelr
purposes. and unqualiGcdly recognized 'he
proiesscd Readiusters as men VINO are
working with them for the success OF inc
Republican party IN the presidential eiec-
fion. We quote from the resolutions adopt
ed by these Nansemond Republicans Tue
following explicit ayowal of the objects
had in view by both the Republicans ana
The so-callcd Readjusters OF the Coalition
party;
..Tbat recognizing the Importance OF
uniting the hitherto opposing factions OF
the Republican party, we Know IN ibis
Convention no principles save those when
should actuate Republicans and we utterly
ignore the schisms which have crept into
the party.
/" Thai we recognize in General Malone
the indicator OF the Republican party,
and we pledge TO him the full support OF
the Republican party Of Nansemond so
long AS he keeps the polar star OF duty and
right as his guide.
..Tbat each and every man OF this Con-
yention do pledge himself to stand 10y the
action Of this Convention and 10 support
the nominee thereof; and as we now recog-
nize those hitherto known as Rcadiusters
as willing and ready TO help Republicans
defeat Democracy. we pledge the united
and individual vote and influence OF this
party 10 the support OF Judge c. Il.
=
ton party Of the Thirty-SecOnd senatorial
district for the State Senate in Suffolk Au-
gust 4, 1883.
THAT we recognize in President Ar
thur the official head Of our party, and we
urge him TO a continuance OF that liberal
policy which will make Us Il country united
in fact as well as in name.
"That we eXhort all Republicans TO for
get and forgive all past differences, looking
OILY to the maintenance OF those princi-
pies which will contribute to the election
Of Republican President in 1884, and the
defeat OF that Democracy which is repre-
scented in Virginia by Funders and Bour-
bons.'
We saw il stated day or two ago that
General MALONE would probably come out
before the November election Us IN undis-
guised Republican. We hardly expect
him TO do so; but why not What posi-
bic difference can there be between a pro-
fessed Republican and a man who votes
and acts with the Republican party, works
for its success. and supports IFS candi-
dates? These Nansemond Republicans
can't see the difference, and so they "re-
cognize in General MALONE the vindicator
of the Republican party" Vindicator
OF the Republican party" is good. The
General is the great eliminator and the
grand vindicator.
But that is not all that the Republicans
of Nansemond county 'recognize." They
recognize those hitherto known as Re
adjusters as willing and ready to help Re-
publicans defeat Democracy" This is I'M
doubleday the truth. These men who have
"bitberto" been known as Readiusters
are now willing and ready to unite with
the Republicans to defeat the Democratic
party.
Again: The Republicans Of Nansemond
"recognize" Mr.. ARTHUR as the "official
head" of the party which, made up of
men heretofore Readiusters and men all
the while Republicans, is ready and wiz
ing and anxious TO put down the Demo
cratic party OF the Union.
The last resolution calls for the defeat OF
that Democracy which is represented in
Virginia by Funders and Bourbons."
What Democracy is represented in Virgi-
MIA by those whom the NanSemond Re-
publicans term "Funders and B0ur-
bons'? Why, the national Democracy
the Democracy that supported HANCOCK
for President in 1880 and THDEN for the
same Office in 1S7G-the Democracy that
has from 1865 until now never failed in it,
friendship for the people OF the South, and
never refused to do all that it could to aid
in their restoration to all their rights under
the Constitution.
People OF Virginia, II, as you profess to
de. YOU belong 10 the national Democratic
party, see to it that you elect a Demo.
