Bloomington, June "a, 1S72.-Hon. E.
M. ChamberliD, President of the Columbus
Convention, Boston, Mass.--My Dear Sir !:
The National Convention of Labor Re-
formers on the 22d of February last hon
| Ored me with nomination as their candi-
date for the Presidency. Having regarded
! that movement as the initiation of policy
! and purpose to unite the various pOlit-
| ical elements in a compact opposi-
| ton, l consented TO the use
Of my name before the Cincinnati Conven-
| tion where a distinguished citizen of New
| York was nominated. Under these cir
cumstances deem it proper to retire abso-
| lutely from the Presidential contest and
! thus leave the friends who were generous
enough to offer me their voluntary support
| free to obey their convictions of duty un-
fettered by any supposed allegiance. Sym
| pathiZing earnestly with all just and proper
measures by which the condition of labor
may be elevated and improved, am, with
| great respect, your fellow citizen,
DAVID DAVIS.

The Louisiana RAIDS.
New ORLEANS, June 27.-Col. Geo. W.
| Carter publishes his valedictnry as editor of
the National Republican, because he can
not support the State ticket recently nomi-
mated at Baton Rouge. In giving reasons
for withdrawing, he says the wishes of the
| Republican people were thwarted by certain
| Federal officials in the convention, and that
too, largely by the use Of the force which
could be borrowed from the Federal pat
ronage in the State of Louisiana. The
| grand doctrine which | understand to be
the very foundation not only of the Repub-
lican party, but of all republican govern
| ments, that rulers should be selected by
the people, was wantonly trampled upon,
and a ticket was presented which, in a
word, represents simply the preference and
choice chiefly of the Federal officers within
this State.
Virginia for Greeley.
RICHMOND, VA, June 27.-The State
Conservative Convention met at noon in
the theatre and was called to order by r.
I. Daniel, Chairman of the State Central
Committee. Ex-GoV. William Smith was
chosen temporary chairman. Gov. Smith
briefly addressed the Convention on the
business before them. To the surprise d
many who anticipated that the speecl
would be uncompromisingly Democratic
and anti Greeley, his remarks showed thai
while he considered it the duty of the
Democratic party to preserve its Organiza
tiOn intact, he saw no other hope Of defeat
ing the present administration than by
seeking union with those who opposed tbt
party on past issues but were in harmony
with it on the questions of the day.
The committee on organization reported
John GOOde, j., permanent President. Or
taking the chair the President was out
spoken in declaring for Greeley and Brown
and the Cincinnati platform. He arraigne(
Grant as an Oppressor and despoiler, Op
posed the idea of new nomination, ant
: hoped Virginia would take the lead in tn
Liberal movement.
