however. continued toexis, and needea OUT
a concentration IF the minds and labors OF
our own people 10 bring them into 'ui' ac'
t;vitv aud usefulness. Since the war toefe
has heen a decided tendency in the line OF
practical enterprise; and the fond nope Wild
nrsctiesi men was that we had Mt last reached
the point OF beginning OF the real advance
ment Of tbecity. We have several prom''
nent men who had taken hold of the matter
of real improvement Of Richmond, and
every day seemed to add to their zeal, ener-
~, and judgment.
Doyetailsd with the programme OIL these
gentlemen were the prospects OF the Con-
sentative party. That party could unite our
peonie and secure TO his truly quslihed
government end tbe'permaueacy OF pro-
per policy. It.would also maintain the cre'
dit OF the city, that thing so indispensable
for the success of any plan of Improvement
we may project. With bright hopes and
bright prospects befotc-us we should look
UPON the division or disruption OF that party
as the most fatal event that ever fell upon
o,x city. For this reason'we regard the
nresent bitter aud relentless canvass with the
deepest anxiety and modification, knowing
that%e Cannot succeed in what we desire
without the peace and serenity that Conscr'
yattsm secures. We are ardently devoted to
the ticket momiuated&y the party. The city
itself should be. Every man who has IN
terests at stake here should be.
Not word bad this papert e say about the
gentlemen whose names are on the ticket
until that ticket was: laid before the public.
Then we sustained it as duty that was alto
gether agreeable to US. The great excitement
that has been produced Icy the discussion OF
merits afternae nun'inatieaseeere made has
been deporable. Hud that discussion taken
place before She nominations, it would have
borne upon tse,iatliuiGuats themselves but
afterwards the effect OF the attack has been

divisions. The attack, which. might have
been merely axdiUidua,, ths:s became one
upon the party itself. This threatens the
best Interests OF this city.
