There waa one idea to conservative men wry potent, and this wi- the fact thal he had eliminated from our affairs the danger of th" spoils system, the illili:: which induced the con? spiracy and crime of 1876 in the steal of the Presidency. But to-day we rausl ad mil that the times have become more ex? cited, and conservatism asks whether the party In power is strong enough to hold a populai majority. The House lias fallen ofl limn 43 to 10 or k-ss, and the presidential policy of ('i\ il Service Reform, though courageous and hum st, i- a failure. It i- nm suited to the present emergency, and the good intention of it is overridden by the de? mand foi a compact and strong party to meet the issues before us. If the Democracy a i till the lion it dd ?,-then Itself; and the rery first thing to do is to retrieve il"' ?error ol hud appointments and awaken the i - 'orpt of the parly.

In Virginia we have fell the had influ? ences of weakness and folly infused with the sort of timidity like effete mun archies run into petty tyranny.
