Whereas the Conservative party Of Rich

offices OF the city; andwhereas the Republi-
can City Central Committee has decided it
to be incxpedient to nominate party ticket;
and whereas deep-seated dissatisfaction
manifests itself rs to the nomination OF the
Conservative candidate for Mayor among all
classes Of Conservatives for many reasons
known and unknown to us and whereas at

OF eighteen was appointed to recommend
ticket for the sutfrages of the good citizens
OF Richmond, and to conduct a canvass for
it.; therefore be it
RESOLVED by said committee, That in view
of all the circumstances they deem it mex
pedient to do more than name candidate
for Mayor, and in obedience to that iudg-
ment respectfully submit to the people
Hon. John Amber Smith as 4 most suitable
candidate for NJ ayor, he having acceptably
filled important trusts of our people, and
having been elected as Republican to the
Congress Of the United States by all classes

cal opinion.
Resolved, That Isaac II. Shield CHAIR

them the kindly aid OF all good citizens,
confidently believing that our selection will

Mr.. SMITHS CANDIDACY.
Mr.. Smith will accept the nomination
thus rendered him by the self-styled "Peo-
ple's Committee" Indeed, he has already
announced himself, and yesterday evening
was handing around his cards. He has long
been suspected Of harboring designs upon
the mayoraty, and has for many months
been assiduously cultiyating popularity with
the whites. At the same time he has SEEM
ingly grown in disfavor with the blacks.
1t was, however, stated yesterday that all
the old opponents Of Smith would unite
upon him in this contest. Our people may
rest assured that he will get nearly all the
negro vote. The white vote must, there
fore, be fully polled.
Republican emissaries were engaged all
day Yesterday circulating reports that at the
Jackson Ward meeting Thursday night
Colonel Darlington, in addressing the CO.
lored people. had used language o1enslVet TO
our foreign-born citizens, and that he had
said that the time had come when "the
white and black native gentlemen should
unite against all others. By an unfortunate
accident reporter OF this paper failed to
be present, but q gentleman who was there,
and who is well known in this city, author
ICES the statement that there is no semblance
Of truth in this report preiudicial to Col
onel Darlington.
ssThe Peoples Committee" state sub
stantially that they will not put up candi-
dates for the other city offices, but never
theless it is we'll known that movement is
on foot to bring out opponents to several
Conservative nominees.
