He spoke Of bis opponent, Hon. john Am
bier smith. as "a carpet-baggcr from
Washington, who had returned here TO
Richmond after an absence Of ten YEAR.
What would bc the fate OF Richmond
should our party fail this fall might be
read. he declared, in the fate that had
already bcialen some Of our sister cities.
YET be- had been told that one Of the candi-
dates OF the Coalition had been going
around town claiming credit that " BECAUSE
81 his efforts " that party had done no worse.

CAPTAIN Wise said that we must not be
luled 10 sleep in the belief that Mahone
will not treat Richmond like he ha- treated
other cities. They have robbed other ciiies
Of the right Of seli-goyernmeni; they have
invaded the public schools; they have

lepes Defeat for liz mean, not the rlle 81
