Correspondence OF The Richmond Dhpstcn.l
PErERsBtRG, Va, May l6. 1890.
The intimatiOn made in this correspond
ence some days ago that a Republican
ticket would be nominated here seems
about TO be verified. A meeting of Re-
publicans-mostly II not entirely colored-
was held last night in Ramsdelps Hall TO
consider the matter. Matt Lewis. depu-
ty collector of internal revenue. presided.
The meeting is said to have been very
lively at times. The proposition 10 put mp
a general municipal ticket and TO make
nominations for the Common Councu
was adopted, and Il was decided 10
hold rd-meetines tonight 10 elect dele
gates 10 convention 10 be held TO-
morrow night 20 nominate candidates:
The delegates 10 the convention Will
select the candidates from their respec-
tive wards tor the Common Counch.
MANY Of the most prominent Republicans
have hitherto opposed the idea ot aofnl-
mating a general ticket. There Is small
hope Of the success of such q ticket, and
this hope is decreased by the lack OF or
ganzation in the party. The name oi
prominent citizen is mentioned in cOpnec-
tion with the nomination to be made Tor
mayor, but his friends say there Is no Ike
lihood that he would accept it. AS 20 the
other nominations the public are IN the
dark. Candidates for the Council VIII
doubtless be named in the First. Second.
Fifth, and Sixth wards.
