The municipal campaign may be said to be
as good as opened in Richmond, for last
night ward meetings were ordered to take
place on the evening of the 9th Of March
for the purpose of electing members of a new
City Committee. The Conservative voters
are appealed to to Iay aside past differences,
and looking only to the future, to be in full
attendance at the ward meetings, and to Sc
lect their safest and wisest men to take
charge Of the interest Of the party. That
means, I suppose, that all who opposed
General johnson and all other Conserva-
tiyes are invited to cooperate. Very pro.
per. The new committee will have for its
task the selection of plan by which nomi-
nations can be satisfactorily made. More
than majority of the voters are in favor of
the direct and simple primary-election plan
the man who gets majority Of votes for
given office to be the nominee for that office.
To this most of our foreign fellow.ctizens
are opposed, believing that such plan
would practically effect the exclusion OF
every foreigner from the ticket. Any way
they choose, believe Mayor Kelley will be
renominated.- Richmond letter - Peters

Tha "a. Committee Need Funds.

We learn that the Conservative commit
tee are short Of money to pay the expenses
OF primary election of their successors.
We refer to the letter Of q member of the
committee. It Is very clear, and puts the
case in way that every man must under
stand. If gentlemen are sincere In desiring
new, and what they call peoples, som.
mittee, they know what they have to DO.
And if there be nothing done, Of course the
election OF the committee BY ward meetings
is the only alternative. That should at least
shut up complaint. The public IS lore
warned. We have seen a great deal
of trouble incurred by emitting Inc
nerformsuce of a slight labor by neglecting
a duty that involved very little labor or ex'
nense. Men protesting great regard iof
nublic welfare and for fair-dealing have, oy
such neglect, brought discord and bitter
feuds upon the community and great ex-
nense and labor upon themselves. We say
to the would.be guardians OF public virtue
and public peace that now is'the: time to
show their public spirit and proper consid-
Grafton for public order and contentmens
IF they don't avail themselves of the oppor'
tunity let them cease to grumble and rail.

Now, let it be observed that the States in
which ignorance, dishonesty, and madness
unite to give the rag-money rot show of
importance are for the most part those west
ern States which are hopelessly Republican.
Illinois and Indiana are the only exceptions.
But Illinois was carried by an anti-Republi.
can majority for the first time in its history
10 the congressional elections of 1874 on the
platform of hard money, free trade, and
home rule. 1t can be carried against the
Republican party this fall upon no other
platform.
Observe next that the Pacific States OF
course can be carried only by hard-money
Democrat upon hardmoney platform.

votes that are necessary to Democratic vic.

States will vote for the St. Louis candidate.

These three States, which will all be car
ried again by the Democracy il they are
faithful TO hard money, free trade, and home
rule; but which would be lost, one and all,
to the Democracy Qikc Pennsylvania and
Ohio) if they were to be false to Democratic
principles-tbese three States are all that are
necessary to Democratic victory. With the
southern and Pacific States, the votes OF
these three great States, all radiating about
the commercial metropolis, together consti-
tute four more than maj 0rity of the electo-
raj vote.
But these three metropolitan Sta ties, as
they might be called, are nardmoney States
like Texas and the Pacific coast States, which
to .day Use gold and silver. Upon rag
money platform, upon doubtful platform,
upon a doubc-faced platform, they would
certainly be lost to the Democracy.
But upon hard money national plat
form the margin of Democratic victory is
not so narrow. There are two States-llll-
nois, twenty-one; Wisconsin, ten-which
have thirty-one votes to cast for the Demo
cracy standing upon hard-money platform,
and thirty-one votes to cast against them
standing on . rag-money platform.
No combination of States can possibly be
made to win victory for the Democratic
party on rag-money platform, or an amolg-
uous platform.
Any man who will take the foregoing Ia
bles and study them for himself can come to
no other conclusion, even if he starts with
the assumption that Texas, hard-meney
State, will vote for Democratic electors any.
