The infobox for this party says that the Readjuster Party was succeeded by the Democratic Party. This seems odd to me: though the party was succeeded in government by the Democratic Party, I don't think this is what's required in this infobox. What we need is the name of the party (if any) that absorbed members of the Readjuster Party after its demise. The problem we have is that although Readjuster Party supporters seem (to me) likely to have had more in common with the Republican Party at that time, the article doesn't explicitly say what happened after the Readjusters lost their last senator, though Mahone did later stand for governor as a Republican. I'd be interested to hear other people's comments on this. RomanSpa ( talk) 00:18, 13 October 2013 (UTC) reply

I recently cleaned up the Harrison Riddleberger article and scanned some of the old books concerning this party, but don't have time to rework this article. Riddleberger was a Democrat before being a Readjuster, and a Democrat afterward. After the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the new Riddleberger bonds in 1883 (which changed the terms of the previous coupon bonds), John Barbour (who led the revitalized Democratic party and would succeed Riddleberger as U.S. Senator) accepted public education as well as the now-judicially affirmed debt readjustment, so many like Riddleberger returned to the Democratic fold.
