National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1873-10-21
RICHMOND CANDIDATES FOR THE
HAI,aE NR nRI EG ATEs

The Conservative party have nominated
the following ticket for the lower House
Robert Ould, James II. Dooley. Joseph II.
Anderson, William Loyonstcin and William $. |
Gilman.
The first name is familiar to the country |
rs the rebel commissioner Of exchange Of
prisoners OF war. His nomination was &c.
cured with view OF his being q candidate
for United States Senator. 1t Is plot Of his |
friends vs.. II. VI. T. Hunter and others for |
that position, the idea being that II defeated
he will have claims and II elected he on the
spot to "wirs-pull" in the Legislature.
| This nomination Is on q par with Kcmpcr,
and should all be elected Virginia will again |
be in the hands OF the revolutionists Of 1861. |
James II. Dooley Is a member Of the last |
House, Il a young man and concession to |
the Irish voters. and thorough hater Of
everything not pertaining to the "iost
cause" Joseph II. Anderson was "gonc-
raj" in the Confederate army, and Is presl-
dent Of the Trcdegar company. lie owes his
nomination to the fact that large numbers Of
the Trcdegar employees have found their
way into the Hughes and Ramsdell clubs,
and that ono Of said employees was nomi-
mated on the Republican ticket.
II remains to be seen whether the hundreds
Of hands there employed will choose one Of
| their own number or another who employs
them. The Republicans nominated me
chanlc in said works, because they believe in
tho integrity and ability OF the laborng men
Of the country. Tho Conservatives nomi-
mated the wealthy head Of the establishment
on the grounds of policy, hoping to ovcrawe
the co-labsrers Of the Republican Manifested
| nominee. We shall see II the laboring men
Of the Trcdcgar Company will PROSTATE
| themselves before this walking Confederate
monuinent-this Mr.. Lopgpurse.
Mr.. Lovenstcin Is another concession to
the Jewish element, lie is clerk in the
dry goods house OF Levy Bros, and very
worthy man-sut in fearful company. VIII
liam s. Gilman, the tail Of this clan, Ia man
Of many words, and as speaker Is regular
camp-meetlng in himself. lie, in some way,
ls supposed by Kempcr to be of some lndsfln-
lite service to the ticket; but the truth Is he Is
simply 'bottle-holdcr" for Kcmpcr in his
campaign. lie reports the movements OF his
chief, and daily telegraphs the Astounding
reception" by the people at this and that
crossroads. lie was elected 10 the last House
for services rendered In leading Walker around
| tho course for inspection Of the peo-
pie. Take the ticket as whole, and
1t is fearfully weak as compared with the
wise selection Of our Republican friends.
Knowing that Richmond must be, II anything,
4 manufacturing city, they nominated me
chanic. aud men devoted to the educational
interests Of the city. The nominees are Mr..
Vim. II. Woody, Mr.. Spencer w. Snyder,
Mr.. John Rankin, Rev, r. VI. Manly and J.
Harmcr Gilmcr, esq. The first is an en-
ploycc Of Tanner & Co., Metropolitan Iron
works, man Of character and education; in
u word, an educated mechanic, who leafs his
bread In the sweat of his brow" He Is o
freebooter in his city, and known to be an
honest, active and industrious man; thor
oughly acquainted with the industrial inter-
csts Of his State. Mr. Snyder Is also me-
chanic, having long been employed blythe
|, Tredegar company as foreman In one Of their
. departments. As a man no eulogisms could
overestimate him, aud In his trade he has few
II any supcriors. Mr.. Rankin is a rcpresen-
, tive Irishman, and has the confidence Of the
people who know HIM. At one time he was
drayman; again n sergeant OF police, and
being thrifty and economical he has accumu-
lated considerable means. Plain Of speech.
-. earnest in purpose, faithful to friends and
a true to his adopted country. he presents Q
Y nne specimen Of what an humble man may
o become under the generous principles of thu
v Republican party of this country.
+ The Rev. Mr.. Manly was born outside thu
r. State, aud after the war, in the performance
o OF n Christian duty, busted himself In tn
a organization of system Of free education
&c for the colored people. To that end, through

IN he built upa large Institution, and lately
l. by the same means, has erected one of tn
q most elegant buildings in the city and will

IN nlling the States demand for educated col
n. orcd teachers. lie has been busy In adm
l. in the structure Of the free school system
throughout the state--a work thoroughly I'm
dcrstood by him cxperimertally. Perhaps NJ
&c more inoffensiye gentleman lives on earth
II none more deserving the respect of his fel
low-men. As n legislator he would be- o valu
. able acquisition to the State, aud the publ
= school system would receive au impetus a
