terbind, and w. VI. Archer.
One OF the earliest and most important
duties the new City Committee will have
to discharge will be fhe adoption Of plan
for the nomination Of four persons TO rep
resent the city Of Richmond in the House
Of Delegates. Ii will be question whether
a convention of delegates from the wards
or primary election can better secure an
able, active, and popular delegation.
Primary election has been the plan for
several years past.
The Readjuster" and Republican City
Committees are about TO cOalesce, and IN
the future there will be but one commit
tee managing the affairs OF the enemy here.
They will nominate ticket and make
great show OF fight, but it can scarcely be
possible that they hope to win. 1t is more
likely that they expect to make the Demo-
Gratis spend so much money here that there
will be little left for them to aid the coun-
try Democrats with.
MONROE WARD CALL.
Mr.. II. NJ. Smith, Jr.. superintendent OF
Monroe Ward, issues the following call on
the Democrats Of this ward:
"In accordance with resolution OF the
City Central Committee, you arc requested
to meet at Monticello Hall Ferrandini's)
Friday night at O'Clock for the purpose

show TO our State Committee and TO the
District Committee that we respond 10
their call, and are with them in the fight.
Advantage will be taken OF the occasion TO
re0rganiZe our Ward Club, and to elect its
officers, and for this reason it is especially
