eron DOL Massey 257, Grover 104, Wise So.

taken.
"posT" CRITICISM.
New York, June 3d.-The Posts Rich
mond special says: The Readjusters are in
rather sour temper this morning. The har-
mony movement in the interest of Riddle

had the opposite effect. The hastY and dis
ingenious speech of Riddleberger hurt his
cause, and may defeat him. Wise Withdrew
Malone to-day, and in the ballot that fol-
lowed Riddleberger received very few votes.
RICHMOND, June 3d.-After recess fourth
ballot was taken, showing steady gain for
Massey. There were many changes and
much confusion, and Cameron began to forge
ahead amid prolonged cheers as the Wise
men turned over to Cameron. Friends OF
Massey and Grover asked leave to retire, but
were ignored until Malone appeared, and
after the laundering applause which always
greeted his entrance had subsidized, be pleaded
that fair play be given the friends Of Wise
and Grover and they be allowed to retire.
They were permitted to retire, and when
they returned the balloting continued to show
that Cameron was sure TO win. Massey here
made his appearance, and was greeted with
great applause. He said he had INDUCED in
hopes, but everything must give way TO har-
mony, and he urged his friends who had SO
nobly stood by him to make Colonel Gamer
on's nomination unanimous There were
only two or three dissenting votes, and this
proposal was agreed to. Lewis Il. Harvie
was nominated for Lieutenant-G Governor a.
