The session of the Convention was pro-
tractcd owing to the difficulty found i'll get
ting a sufficient number Of white men to
accept the nominations, it having been pre-
yiously determined that the names of no
colored men should he allowed upon the
ticket during the present campaign. Many
German and Irish citizens who We're ap-
proached with offers Of office Indignantly
refused to he made tools of by the design
ing roglles by whom they were tempted,
and several whose names appear in the
above list declare that the use of their
names is unauthorized. Others will blush
this morning to see their names in print i'll
such company, and declinations will proba-
bly, fall thick upon the nominations.
On the whole, we are disappointed in
this ticket. We were led to expect strong
one this time, but find that, purged of the
names whose Use is unauthorized, 1t pre-
scnts absolutely no elements of strength.
It will please neither white nor colored, ma

their standard-bearers three or four who
were known in former days aS the very
embodiment of Know-Nothing sentiments.
Although ninety-ninc hundredths OF their
strength is found in the colored population,
not one Of the fayorites of that race il given
an office. There are not half II dozen honest
working-mcn on the list of nominees, and,
to crown all, Chahoon, whose rebellion
against the lawful authorities of the city
was so recently quelled by Mayor Ellyson
and condemned by the courts, is insult

cipal Office within the gift of the people.
whose will and voice he has deted. We
need only add that one Of the candidates,
who was I'M Olfice-holder before the war,
and Scce~ionist during the war, has not
had his disabilities removed, and that an
other has not been i'll the city twelve
months!
With such a ticket the Conservatives will
find it necessary only to vote their full
strength to insure victory. Let us Goto the
polls united, and on Thursday next the
doom of RadicaliSm in Richmond will he
