We presume there can be no doubt OF the election of

The Convention was fairly organized, and its choice was
indicated in about which there could be no
mistake. Those present pledged themselves to support
the nominees, and as the motion OF Mr.. James Evans
declaring the nominations unanimous was adopted with
out dissenting voice infer that it is the settled de-
termination OF the Wings OF Richmond to avoid ali future
