Major A. VI. BraXton placed in nomination

calmly surveyed the field, calculated the

good run and good representative.

Mr.. Brauer having been brought into
the courtroom by q committee, said that
he accepted the nomination, and begged
his party friends to "ioin him in hard
work." He believed that with that he could
be elected. but att any rate he could guarantee
that il he did not beat the enemy lie would
largely reduce their majority as it had ap-
peared in the last two elections.
SPEECHES.
Mr.. Sands, the secretary, then made an
excellent address TO the young men, re-
minding them that the Legislature to lie
elected this November will elect 4 Judge
for Henrico. and counselling organization.
Captain j. +. Childrey followed, COM
batting the idea prevalent with some that
this county is forlorn hope.

same direction.
Mr.. Russell and Mr.. Ashby Wickham
warmed up the people to the responsible
ties and dangers Of the situation.
Henrico Democrats are fighting for a

fellow.
RICHMOND PRIMARY.
Every preparation for the Democratic
primary on the 9th has already been
lildut lut copy vi lllt
tion-boOks for use on that occasion. The
blank books are now in the hands OF the
ward superintendent. All that they have
to do Qor this purpose is to have the white
book OF each precinct copied.
II is a matter for genuine regret that the
nominations were not to be made ten days
earlier, rs the ward clubs cannot readily
get under weigh till the nominations are
made. Not only that, but the candidates
must themselves 90 to work. They will
have plenty to do in Richmond, and vOlun-
teers will be hard to procure ii the candi-
dates neither contribute money nor labor
nor encouragement. III the candidates
can't find any work 10 do here in Rich
mOnd, they can go to Ilenrico, Chester
field, or Hanover. Wherever member IS
gained. so much the better for Us. The
fight is rs TO whether Richmond shall
continue under her present charter.
A Democratic Legislature will say "Ies."
A Coalition Legislature will say "No; !;
we'il give yoC one to suit ourselves" But
for the Famous Five senator's revolt our
charter would have been amended by the
last Legislature.
Messrs. b. II. NASH and Jackson Guy
request it said that they will not be cam
didates for the House OF Delegates.
This morning eX-Judge Joseph Chris
