THE RADICAL LEGISLATIVE NoMIEEEs-
DISSATISFACTION OF THE WHITE RADICALS
A NEW Notwithstanding the
assertion of the State Journal that the nomi-
nation of seven negroes and Zincke az the
Radical candidates for the House of Dele
gates from Richmond and Henrico gives
universal satisfaction, it turns out that the
ticket is not well received, but, rs Artemus
Ward used to say, con the contrary, it is
quite the reverse" They tried to whip in
the disappointed candidates and their adhe-
rents, but it was "no Co." They orouldnt
be quiet; and now, just rs we expected,
there como up from several wards calls for
another nominating convention, and accom-
panying the call are many. evidences of Il
serious division of sentiment among the
Wellsites.
On Monday last there appeared In "the
organ" an order from Mr.. Secretary Hum
phrcys calling upon the Radicals to assem-
BILE in their usual places of ward meeting
for the purpose Of receiving reports from
their delegates TO the nominating convcn-
but of course the object was simply to bring
out the strength of The opposition, and TO
see whether 4 movement for Il new cOnvcn-
ton would be supported.
The dissatisfied came out in force even
greater than was expected, and many of the
satisfied, lnsuspecting, remained at home.
In Madison, Jefferson, and Marshall Wards,
the scheme Of the disorganiZers WAS first
cautiously broachcd, and then boldly car
ricd through, in spite of the protests Of a
weak minority. In each of these wards re-
solutions were offered inStructin@ the dele
gates to reconvcne on Thursday fhe oath in
slant 0o-morrow-prctty short notice j 10
"takc such action rs they may deem adyisa-
bic to secure unity Of action and preserve
harmony in the party organization for this
district But the other two wards were
not so easily manipulated. The same reSo-
Iutions fell through with pitiruI show of
hands in their favor. They resolved to stand
by their nominees, expressed an abiding
Filth in Lindsey. Farrar, Zinckc, and all,
and positively refused to recommend the re-
assembling" of the convention. Was there
ever such IN obstinate set
Still, whatever Clay and Monroe Wards
may say, that the convention will rcksscm-
BILE is not n matter Of doubt. They will
come again-thosc obstrcpcrous delegates
from the kitchens Of Richmond and the
plantations of lIcnrico; and Little Zion "r
EbeneZcr will again reSolnd with the clo-
qucncc of Lindsey and Cox. and new
ticket will he nominated, or the party will
be irrcparably split, so far as the present
canvass is concerned.
AitcralI, the colorcd people are not much
TO blame for sticking TO their regularly
nominated ticket, whatever the few white
men among them may say. What If Il 1na'
jorty of the candidates are col0rcdI dc
not the colorcd Republicans outnumbcr tho
white Republicans ten to one? Have they
not, then, a right to u majority? Besides
it is disgusting to sec llumphrcyS's effort tc
get OIL the ticket--cycn trying to induce
honest Farrar to decline in his favor. Nc
wonder-wc repeat, no wonder that the!
have determined to stand by the action o
the first convention. whatever Humphreys
Washburne, and the State Journal, maI
urge against it.
