Dolnh Ricbardson. of Bloomingtt

Dolph Richardson, Of Bloomington,
H., was aa inveterate politician, and
spent the greater part OF his time saving
his country, or at least his own ward.
Meantime his wife worked hard and late
in brave effort to make both ends meet,
but found it discouraging business, and
finally grew very tired. One day her
patriotic husband rushed in with the
declaration that he wanted his dinner
instantly, AS he must be back to the
polling-place inside of five minutes. he
sat up TO the table, and moment later
his wife placed before him a glass OF
water and platter heaped up with cleo
ton tickets. MIR. Richardson was not
slow TO see the grim humor OF the thing,
and abiured politics as business. since
which time his larder has been filled with
something more edible than ballots

VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED.

This motion was vigorously opposed
bv number of colored delegates, who
defended the action of the Sixth Warl
in sending five cOlored and one white
man to the convention as an exercise OF
the lawful and sovereign will of the peo-
pie. That delegation was neither to be
nnseated nor terrified. and to ignore 1t
would be dangerous to the party. 10
adjourn in order to get two more white
men on the delegation was preposterous.
The discussion was very animated aud
the motion to adjourn was lost by a
decisive vote. The convention then
went into the nomination for
offices with the following result: Mayor,
General Stith Boiling mo opposition 4;
Clerk of Court, John @. Armistead; City
Sergeant, Major j. A. Johnston City
Treasurer, James W. Couch; Common
wealths Attorney, William H. Jones /;
Commissioner OF the Revenue, George

Thomas II. Bond; High Constable, W.
u. Minetree Gauger, J. II. ii. Stokes.
The only opposition manifested was IN
the offices of collector OF city taxes and

CRASH AND CHATTER.

Shortly before II o'clock there was
such a crash and clattere against the doors
that the convention was forced to admit
the public, and the courtroom was soon
filed. A delegate offered paper set
ting forth that whereas Hon. John
S. Wise, in his late letter to W..
C. Elan, went ont of his way to
make fling at the Republican party
of Petersburg in that he asked an
explanation why Petersburg has fallen
away from her old-time majouties,
therefore we the Republicans OF Pc
tersburg say that no one should know
better than Mr.. Wise how tie vote OF
the city has refrigerated since he has
been called upon to upset certain frauds
for which he received $500 contributed
by men who had without reward or fee
worked hard TO elect him TO Congress
and to the gubernatorial chair.
Mr.. Justice defended Mr.. Wise, and
while lauding General Malone as a
leader he thought Mr.. Wise worthy OF
all honor and confidence, and declared
that the people should have the right to
hold their meetings and elect their chair
men.
The paper, which was pressed by
warm friends Of Malone, was pronounced
"rigmarole of foolishness and was laid
on the table by a large vote
The several nominees appeared and
accepted the honors conferred npon
them with thanks.

at S:30o'clock. Dr. ID. +. May was elected
chairman, and George Fayeman (colored)
secretary. The public were excluded,
and it was full half an hour before mem
bers Of the press we're admitted. After
organization n motion was made TO 60
into the nomination Of officers, which
was lost by vote OF IA ayes to 20 noes.
A motion was then made to adjourn un-
til Friday night. This Was done, it was
said, by friends of the motion
in the interest and harmony Of
the party. Much feeling had been man
ifested on account of the action OF the
Sixth Ward. Five wards had Obeyed
the request of the Central Committee
and sent an equal number of white and
colored delegates, but the Sixth Ward
had not done so. 1t was also stated that
in view OF this feeling and misunder-
standing some of the candidates did not
wish to go on the ticket until harmony
was restored.
