! From this mornings Richmond Enquirer
The REsULT.--We are doubtless beaten-badly beaten
in this district and John NJ Bolts is the member elect
to the next Congress from the Metropolitan district The
increase of the wing vote in this city is astonshngy
large and exceeds the calculations of OF the wings
themselves. We are assured that large number OF
illegal votes poured yesterdayand many with
out the slightest shadow OF right.
Ii will be that the ''Spartan Band" have noby
maintained their number spite OF the ceaseess mpor-
tunes and humbugs of the wings. On the present
cason they polIed larger vote than ever before. In
1884, their vote was 276 in 1885, when the contest was
! between Messrs Seldom and Bolts, and when several
wings voted with them, their vote $685. now, thanks
to their unnching virtue and in spite OF detection and
ofmembers who went to other countless they have cast
$40 votes for gentleman who Though able and inelIi-
CENT? was personally unknown to a large number OF
them.
We cannot at present. enter into the by which
the great majority for MIR Bolts in Richmond was brought
about We reserve some future occasion to speak OF the
game which was payed-the coalitions which were
formed, and the tricks which resorted to. We,
however deem it due to those who opposed the nomna-
ton of Mr.. Leake to say, that, matter who might
have been the democratic candidate, the result would
have been the same. Had Gen. Taylor himself been a
Notwithstanding as democrat, under the circum
stances by which Mr. Leake surrounded yesterday
and opposed by the appliances then used by the wings,
he would have been defeated.
Let bear the present defeat with camness and mod
Grafton. For the future let cultivate brotherhood
amongst ourselves and ever observe the usages of the
democratic party.
The victory in this districts won-et the wings make
the most of it
