grounds for an Independent organization 10
stand upou. The reasons given for boiling |
are no reasons at all. They are vague ana
meaningless. These charges are, IN genefa'
terms-first, that the primary election was
nn(air; secondly, that Colonel TANNER anu
General JOHNSON combined aga'ns. o0''ue'

Az TO the primary election, every man ~
Richmond must necessarily know taat 'nese
wac nothing unfair in the psan OF It. we
might safely leave it 10 Colonel JOHN D.
Guy. the City Superintendent TO answer
this charge. But there is nothing 10 he an
swered by argument. The question IS q;
ouestion Of fac. The people OF Riehnend
kuo,o-because $500 of them voted under
it-tbat the plan was nothing bat tbeeaechon
.ofa certain number Of delegates from each
ward That was the whole plan. There was
nothing more Of it. All that man had to
do was to voc for any set OF delegates ne
nreferred. The boilers can point cut noth-
ing wrong in the plan They must mean'
then that the commissioners Of election cor
ruo,ly made false returns to the City Csm'
mltee. A sufficient reply 10 such charge
would be the names OF these cenn'ssionefs.

YOU. reader. This charge means nothing as
10 TANNER, and JOHNSON, and KNIGHT. IL
means that the friends Of JOHNSON voted 1Sr
Tanner and the friends of Tanner voted LOT
JOHNSON. But who could prevent them
from doing so? 1t is an insult to the voters
10 pretend that TANNEe or JOHNSON could
compel or 10 any way influence them to vote
for either one of them when they wanted 10
vote for KNIGHT. This is rejection upon
the voters, not upon the candidates. It's as
mich as to say that they are unit to be
voters at all. So charge No.2 is groundle's.
But. thirdly, JOHNSON is :" bad egg.'
The only charges ever made against bin

and a thousand others Of our best citizens.
He Is accounted worthy Of a seat in the State
Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church
as q representative of Grace church in this
city, but he is not good enough for the bHt-
ers! Let that charge foil, too.
But bless you, you know not how "ehad-

are. They nominate Mr.. STAEEE, for " hoEl
The Radicals voted last May year as an liz
dependent candidate for Mayor, and they
nominate Colonel KNIGHT, who didn7u re-
eeive as many votes at the primary election
as were represented on the call for General
Johnson. They know many things, but they
don't know how the senator for the county
was nominated, and so tbey recommend no.

know nothing about it, Perhaps ace know
something about il. At any rate, here is a
little paragraph that appeared in the Dispatch
about q week ago:
GA Trsr,-The Radicals of Henrico have
recommended Mr.. Normand Smith rs eau
didstc for the Senate. This will put the In
dtnenden,s or anti-Couservatives to the tes..
If then nominate Mr.. Smith the pubic will
sae mt once that the Radicals are their allies.
II they fail 10 nominate him, aud indEce him
10 decline, the same fact will have been
proved. Let us blde our time. The truth
will come out"
The boilers nominate nobody to run
against MIR. WoRTHAA because their Radical
allies have already made nomination for
the county All. the cloveu foot will always
come in sight. II can't be hid.
With this hint as to the objects of the
boilers we dismiss them for the present.
We hope and believe that their numbers
will daily diminish from now until the day
of the election, SO that on the I'd Of Noyem.
Der no true Conservative will cast his vote
