Digitized by Google CHAPTER IX SECTIONS AND LEADERS, 1879 Thus, under stress of economic and political condi- tions, the factions which had arisen among the Conserv- atives gradually lost their identity, until in February, 1879, the old party differences gave way before a clash between **Readjuster
...s" and **Funders.**^ Both in the inception and in the results of the Readjuster Movement, however, one feels the weight of a force that was not altogether due to either business or politics.
