Bolts affair, and the nominations dnt-Butts tri-
umph and the effort is made 10 excite the opposition
OF the friends of Mr.. Bolts to the ticket But as will
be seen, they have reckoned without their host
The proposition to hold a general nominating con-
yentlon was first submitted to meeting Of the Vigil
lance Committee by of the most ardent supporters
OF Mr.. Bolts, when there present but two anti
Bouts men. After full deberatlon, it resolved
to lay the matter on the table until larger meeting
couIo be obtained AT the next meeting of the
muee, Their were present about sixty-tive members
only SIX OF whom were antl-Botts men, The propo--
sltlon was then unanimously adopted notices of the
meeting were published in all of the Wing papers for
several Gays, inviting the attendance OF every Wing

several Of the other telers, have carefully examined
them, with the view of ascertalning the relative pro-
portion OF Bolts and ani-Bos who voted on that

To the Editors Of the Times:
GENrLEMEN-l understand my name is still men
toned In connection with the coming election Of Del
egates, and beg to say through your columns that
am not candldate.

throughout the State select their representatives in
the State Legislature Interference to matters OF State
concern only. discsfdlng national politics; but such
state OF things IS now practically out of the qnesIon.
Both parties this city have presented full tickets
The Wing ticket formed by meeting publicly
called, and as that moce OF nomination had been gene
rally acquesced in as tar as know, and have not
heard 1t alleged that there any unfarness in its
proceedings, 1t seems TO me it would be unjust to
those who constituted that meeting, as well to the
lrespecttble gent emen who its nominees with
hold fir m the latter our support

nave proposed to confer on me- an honor uumered,
trust they will all approve course, and with one
accord, give hearty support to the ticket referred to,
thereby avoiding divisions and dis ensions which must
do injury to the Stale ticket which all united

Richmond ardently desire 10 see placed the head
OF the new Government. Very respectfully,
