~. al at length on Thursdsy ana S'1u' "''
Of ,..t week. There is no use III 'rE'hS /"
,.,p,hnc the public. One Of two things Is
certain. Either the candidate WIFE apio'"'
III the DELEGATES from ward, or else tae
fS.y Committee will appoint them. Our cor
r,Sponderl admits that delegates are hcceS-
ssry. b,., instead Of allowing the people 10
c,c,., the delegates he wishes 10 give me
nowcr Of appointing them 10 the candidate
We do no, approve Of any such mode OF Sc
curing delegates. We wish to meet our
country friends with delegates not bound 10
anv man nor appointed by any man. hu'
elected bv tic people themselves. we wish
to elect delegates that will be free to vote ior
whomSoevcr may be found to be the oeS'
man after consultation with our brethren
from the counties. We do not wish to hold
q caucus beforehand and concentrate The CITY
vote upoH one man, and then 20 into confeh'
ton under false preIcnccS- under tue pre-
tencc Of conferripg and advising with the
country delegates. thougl we are bound
hand and foot 10 the man who appointed us.
Let the people Of Richmond remember
that m Act OF bad faith will damage them
forever in the estimation Of their country
friends. Indeed. we do not suppose that the
COMMITTEES will consent to send delegates at al!
