which to secure to the majority the
rights to which it is entitled. He tiien
addressed himself as follows to Il sub
ject which has been discussed very
freely in Virginia for the past year OR
more:
Il use the word machinery advised
ly use it because | hear so much
senseless criticism of party machinery,
and | have so little sympathy with
that criticism. We should with salts
faction and pleasure note the demand
for purer politics, as we do the demand
for purer social order, or purer Chris
tianity, and purer and better civiliza-
ton in every respect. But | must dis
sent from the idea SO often attempted
to be inculcated that strong party
organization, IL well-managed party
machinery, is inconsistent with purity
in politics. When the organization is
corrupt, stamp it out as you would cor

and all circumstances. But | protest
against the idea that party organiza-
ton, strong. well directed party ma.

ton in Virginia we owe the purity of
our civilization and the preservation
of our institutions. trust that the
time " Ill never come when any consid.
