Messrs August and Crane The day the polls closed

Some hard feelings have doubtless been excited by
the nature OF this contest; but hope they will be al

ofthe important trust confided to him.

The Enquirer complains that the vote on Saturday
night was not fair test of the sense of the civ on the
Nashville Convention question. We can only saw that
we believe those who wanted the delegates appointed
were more anxious to carry their point than those who
differed with them were to defeat and we have no doubt
that all the 1883 votes poed for August and Crane
were now to be cast on this question: the proportional
majority against the Convention would be even larger
than that OF Saturday night Nevertheless we believe
Richmond is perfectly true to the principle of resist
ance
