as chairman, and 4. &. Clark, OF Peters
burg, as secretary. Addresses were made by
John S. Wise, Jno. S. Allen, and Capt. Paul

was mainly scathing TRADE against Gen.

serve the integrity of the Republican party
in the State.

Richmond tomorrow to elect delegates to

in which Chicago delegates have not yet
