cisl conference between the two commit.

substantial agreement was had in which
tho above claim Of the Republican party
was fully recognized. In fact, the Green.

sideration Of The relative numbers. Of the
Republican party In the State, gracefully
conceded 10 The Republicans the nomina-

second-There are these, and to this
class we may say the ISrEILiorscrR be-
longs, who believe in protecting the integ.
rity Of tho Republican party in all its
actions, and IN pIesei wing its freedom to
do whatever, In ia Judgment, 1t decides to
lbe for lie own welfare. This second class
tinsis.a that the convention which meets at
lPxkeraburg on the 3O:h, shall not be tram

cans or by the foolish fatality which aeems
t, ensue from tho unaccountable action, to
sly tho lcsst, Of our political co-laborers
against Bourbonism, II 1t Is found, when
tae convention meets, that 1t Is wiso and
best to nominate, not endorse, Judge
Maxwell, We sball heartily concur in
such determination. But II it Is found on
a comparison Of views among delegates,
that Judge Maxwell Is not the best man to
lead our forces in the coming struggle, the
second class will resist the enctoachments
which the Greenback Labor party has
madest Buckhannon, and which theJournal
and i's friends who belong to the fra!

Of the party. This class utterly repudiatea
1.-THE position taken by the Journal in the
article above quoted, when 1t uses the fol.
! lowing language: "Judgs Maxwell's nomi.
nation must be endorsed without any Ifs
. OF ands about it. There are too many Re.
publicans pledged to Judge Maxwel}'sa up-
port to think Of nominating anybody else.
j No one can withdraw Judge Maxwell save
that gentleman himself" gs.:s
Third-Ths third class, who voice the
sentiment Of those who msy be called
"stAlwarta," are utterly opposed to the on.
tire arrangement made at Grafton. They
are opposed to fusion in any form, with
any party. They generally represent that
love for the organization which springs
from it's antecedent work. They are proud
of is history and its principles. They nate
compromire and "dicker" in any form.
They will hayo nothing to do with either.
They would rather go down in defeat With
their flag flying than to gain, a victory at
what they believe ia the cost Of the party's
homer. This clement will be heard in and
out Of the convention on the SO:h Of July.
we have great respect fer this third class,
Bat in this world Of shsms and shadows
we cannot always attain idesl perfection.
We must take thirgs as they are, and ap.
proach ss near as may bs the high standard
to which this class aspire. In politics
especially, to attain great politicsl ends, We
have to meet in spirit Of compromise
without sacrificing principle. Ia this way
only, in oar Judgment; can We attain hat.
monions repults at the Petersburg Re-
publican Slate Convention.
We confidently believe that when the
convention does meet, tths wisdom OF the
party will so gssert itself that all our dit.
: ferences will be harmoniously adjusted,
and that We shall presenta solid front to the
common enemy, resulting in glorious vic.
tories in October and in November.
