There is no sourcing at this article (or at some of the other U.S. House of Representatives elections articles in the later 1870s) justifying counting 10 "Conservative" members as distinct from the other [[Democrat Party (United States)|Democratic Party members]]. (They certainly don't seem to be members of any formal "Conservative Party" – e.g. see [[Conservative Party of Virginia]], which specifically states that such members were only elected in the [[41st Congress]], not the [[42nd Congress]].) Certainly neither Martis, nor the [http://history.house.gov/Institution/Party-Divisions/Party-Divisions/ Party Divisions of the House of Representatives* 1789–Present from the Office of the Historian, House of United States House of Representatives] reference, make nor justify such a distinction. |

Unless someone can justify such a distinction with sourcing, I am going to eliminate the "Conservative" entries from the Infobox, and merge their figures into the Democratic Party figures. --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] ([[User talk:IJBall|talk]]) 20:57, 21 March 2015 (UTC) |

"Conservative" members issue
There is no sourcing at this article (or at some of the other U.S. House of Representatives elections articles in the later 1870s) justifying counting 10 "Conservative" members as distinct from the other Democratic Party members. (They certainly don't seem to be members of any formal "Conservative Party" – e.g. see Conservative Party of Virginia, which specifically states that such members were only elected in the 41st Congress, not the 42nd Congress.) Certainly neither Martis, nor the Party Divisions of the House of Representatives* 1789–Present from the Office of the Historian, House of United States House of Representatives reference, make nor justify such a distinction.
Unless someone can justify such a distinction with sourcing, I am going to eliminate the "Conservative" entries from the Infobox, and merge their figures into the Democratic Party figures. --IJBall (talk) 20:57, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
