CITY ELECTION.

Messn EditorIn my piece Of yesterday, there uo two
errors In the printing, that somewhat change the
the word hcreioores used instead and false
| Of the sentence.
showed yesterday that Mr.. Lyons in 1884, had voted
for Young. an out and out Democrat, against Melse
true Wing. In the Spring OF lSi3 after our District
had been most shameuy Gerymandcrcd for tho purpose
Us many believed Of ousting MIR. Bott Mr.. Lyons not
only lent no aid TO his party in sustaining Mr. every
true Wing should have DONE but il believed To have used
his influence against him. Nor is this the only political
sla 81 that Spring chargeable to MIR. Lyons-hc, not
ssnshed with the aid he had given enemy in his
District volunteered say that T he had vote in the Ac
eomac District he would go there give il Henry A.
Wise, the most bitter and unrccntipg enemy the Wbg
Party had in !he word-ho man who had done more dur
ing the extra session and the session IL 10 in
lure the Wing Party, than any Democrats in the land
tho most cnvenomed assaant both and political of
Henry Clay that livcd-cnc who in his frantic furv had
far that he would him fCl,v)
to be groom to stud horse ackas,hat he CLAY
drunk hive days out OF and had his house filled
peoPls in Washington that disgrace humon M
ure-yet notwithstanding NIL this did Mr. Lyons
determination tor him he had vote. And against
Nhom was his vote to b. gvcni Hill Carter as genuine
Wing rs ever lived am fully OF lame attempt ex
PLANTATION in the Wing aud picr-hat MIR Lyons never
said he would not vote Tor Henry A. Wise.' lie never
was charged with having said but tho contrary II is
said also by the same writer, hat all Mr. Lyons did say
was that he thought il unwse raise opposition in
that District To Mr.. Wise, but that when opposition was
raised he would have voted for Mr.. Carter" Whoever
the writer OF that article wos, he totally ignorant of
tie whole matter. On the 18th day of March, lSi3.
MIR. Carter announced himself candidate for Con-
gress IN that District; on the l7ih, days after
wards, the Central Committee announced, and
at the Sd or 18th meeting OF that committee, or rather
when an attempt nj meeting had failed Of
there being but four five members present. Mr. Lyons
made the declaration charged. MIR. Carter was then
candidate and had been for time therefore, il was
direct preference in that election OF Henry A. Wise
Hill Carter. Nor need such decaraton-that he would
60 TO Accomac TO for Wise-surpriso us-he had in
City voted for n Democrat against Wing and
had refused To aid the Wings in the gallant stand they had
taken against the CALLING oppression OF tho Gerrymander
For these sins, and they known ALL and denied
tar know by none, Mr. Lyons by the delegation of
this district to the Wing Convention in February ls44
removed unanimously from the Office Of eectnr which ho
had filed in 1910, rather he unanimously rejected
when nominated for the Office in February ~. a
Committee Of Is appointed an eccor for
this district: three brought forward-J Lyons
JRo NJ. Bolts and X. L. Daniel; Mr. Bolts received g.
Mr.. Daniel 9, the let balloi-the gentleman nomina.
ting Mr. Lyons, not voting for him-for he had
admitted his shncss. aud when he found he would be
alone voted for Of the othos-one OF the for Mr.
Bolts went TO Mr. Daniel and nc was then unanimous
y nominated to the Delegation, who unanimously confirm
cd the nomination. Why, let ask, If Mr. Lyons were
good Wing In H. "a and 49, he thus aside; does
any man dare TO that nt that day. Mr. Lyons this
community, had the confidence the hg parry or that any
iOwoud have vouchedfh his Whiggary during dark days
when he received the rebukc of being
y rejected for office that had always been continued to
those who continued the causei few re-
marks to. morrow, VOTER.
This is the doctrine laid down in an editorial Of
the Lyonnas organ and of Mr.. l.. true Whis
IL he does not vote for Bots.
