Eiilor Star:—In Tue Stax of a few days ago, in speaking of the “situation in Virginta,” you termed the readjuster party “‘repudiationists.’ When the war ended, Virginia’s debt was thirty millions of doliars, exclusive of war interests. sy ‘Mmebt with her creditors, one-third of this was set aside as West Virginia's share. ‘The Riddieberger bill, which was vetoed by the governor, agi to pay the creditors twenty milion dollars, the full amount due by Virginia, exclusive of war and reconstruction interests. So you perceive the readjusters only propose to repudiate that portion of the debt which it Wes impossible to pay at the time it ac: the lated. and which, (or at_least the war interest,) one citizen, under an act of the legislature, did not pay the other. I am sorry that so intlien- Ual a paper as THE STAR has been led, by mis- representation, to term a large majority of its neighbors and friends repudiation: In the last election the readjusters polled 32,151 votes, the funders 61.70;—colored readjuster vote, 22,500; colored funder vote, 12,500; white revd- Juster vote, 59,¢31, white funder vote, 45, white readjuster majority, 11,474. Since the !ast election, and the veto of the Riddleberger bill by Gov. Holiday, the readjusters, it is estimated bave increased 25 percent. The readjusters will cast for their electoral ticket 90,000 votes. Nail it. Yours, Ww. MR, Oct.
