ors Of this civ tell how necessary is for the party TO
have shield and buwork of protection against the ormd
be odds against them here. Nothing would be more aa

clubs Of This city Nothing could DO more unfortunate ~
the republican cause Of Virginia. than for this Board s'u

in The hands of the clubs and cques that rule the Wing
councils Of Richmond.
The Democratic party this city TO itself TO pro-

secondary preferences Of every kndwi for candidate
which will command the united and cordial support OF the

l. will also be for the meeting of Tuesday night
slider and decide question of running Democratic Leg
sstiye ticket a the election in May They must determine
whether they will organize for that contest allow the c
" elections 10 60 by default leave such Democratic gen.
emen as may be brought out by friends 10 90 without the
concentrated support which the party might afford them
We are inclined think, have thought on former oc
casons, that the policy of The party, and Its seres-
oec, demand regular nomination, and organized can
vass Ii is of more importance 10 preserve our distinct Or
than is usually supposed 1t does lessen the
chances of elec,ng such candidates might be elected IT
running alone 1t brings the party vote and deveopcs
and defines the full and party strength II Will pow
euy aid our Congressional candidate securing him the
full party vote which nigh, be swapped oil or compromised
In part if but democrats were running ndepen-
IDENTIFY for the Legislature It, above ALL enables the party to
understand its own strength IT accurately defines every
voters position IL prevents all riding. 1t prevents the
energies and strength OF the party from tteng and drop
ping away little BY le until the outlines OF The party lose
their distinct and clear demarcatlon.
II may also be proper for the meeting OF lussua}
night to invite the counties of the district name time ana
place for holding district convention nominate cand'
date for Congress Probably such an invitation incumbent
upon Richmond Democracy after recent
show is unwngness to impose any conditions upon 'he
other members of the Democratic family in the CongresoE-
al district.
These reflections are thrown means of producing
large attendance on Tuesday night, We invoke the whole
party n the city the council The meeting should De uy
attended, our friends should stay away under The feeling
that their presence will do good and that all will 20 on
rightly and wisely without them.
