Upto a late hour yesterday afternoon II
was understood that there would be no
opposition TO the ticket. but 'as Will DO
seen from the following address from the
Chairman of the City Democratic Com
mittee this was a mistake:
To he Democratic Voters Of Richmond:
have lust been informed Cat o'clock
p. N. on the day before the election) that
an opposition ticket will be sprung TO-
morrow by persons claiming to be. inde-
dependents. but really Republicans In dis
guise, with the hope of defeating at least,
two Of the candidates for the House OF
Delegates recently nominated IN our ptl'
mary. ,,,
Nv information is from the most rollable
source, and | am forced to belieYe
that 1t is true, though | had thought that
these soreheads and malcOntents had gwen
over their efforts, at least for the present
The plan they now propose IS 10 put on
their ticket the names of two OF our nOnh-
nees and the names OF the two men re-
| Gently nominated or suggested In the So
called convention of labOrlng men, ana VINO
declined to enter our primary, thouEn
especially invited TO do so. They thus eA-
pect to show their strength IN preiiili-
nary skirmish. aud TO fight the real oattIe
for the control of the city Offices next
spring.
1T PORTESDs MISCHIEF.
This movement, If | am correctly inform;
| ed. pOrtends mischief for our party ana
| real danger to the best interests OF our
city in the near future. The only remedy
is to meet and crush it at the start ms
| can be accomplished by polling our fuli
strength to-day for the regular party noml-
nccs, and therefore urge every Democrat
TO cast his ballot now with the same inter
est he would feel if we were confronted by
an open and honorable enemy.
| The men who are at the bottom o. TINS
movement do not represent the working
| men of Richmond. They are the men VINO
| are sometimes Democrats, and sometimes
Republicans. but always "for revenue
| only" They conceived and accomplished
| the defeat of the two worklngmen IN the
recent primary for the sole purpose 4f
| creating dissatisfaction among the WORK
| ing class with the hope of securing the
municipal Offices next spring.
do not believe for moment that the
working men who voted III the recent pri-
mary will violate the pledge they then
made to cupport the nominees of the party
at the ensuing general election. They
have no part or lot in this midnight as,
sault. Therefore, say TO thom and to all
other Demoe[ais' .e to the polis polls = r.,n
Chairman City Democratic Committee.
The two men referred TO in hr. Lambs
| address are Walter T.. Orange aud Robert
! FrlOr.
PLEDGED TO THE TIcEEr.
All who participated IN the primary
stand pledged 10 support the ticket,
and Democrats who did not take part IN
that friendly fight owe it to the party 10
swell the aggregate and make It manifest
| TO the rest of the State that Richmond Is
| still the citadel of Virginia Democracy.
1t is important to poll full vote when
| there is no contest. a. it shows party or
| ganlZation and tine moral effect Is of great
| value ia future elections. It's doubly IN
| portant 10 do So when an attempt has been
made to surprise the party.
HESRIco COUNTY.
In Heurico county the regular Demo-
cratic nominee is George ID. Carter and
the independent candidate Is X. II. Mel
son. The latter was put up 10y members OF
the Alliance who were dissatisfied with
the Democratic nomination, but II l.
understood that the majority OF the
farmers of the county are III accord with
the regular nominee, and the latter's cleo
tion is confidently predicted. Ii can be
secured beyond question II the party Will
do their duty and turn out iull ranks.
| The Republicans have made no nomina-
| ton. On the contrary. j. w. SOuthward,
The chairman Of the Repu blican commit
tee of the county, has issued a circular
