The City Democratic Committee held a
well-attended meeting IN the Circuit-Court

was transacted. and the session only lasted
half an hour. DIR. Jud. B. Wood, the
chairman. presided and Mr.. Jefferson Wal

perintendents be requested TO report the

secure options on the places.

pointed TO ascertain the cost OF holding
the State convention in this city, and the
amount which could be raised 10 defray
the expenses thereof. The motion was
carried, and the Chair directed the Finance
Committee to investigate the matter
Mr.. Ferrlter said he thought the ques-
tion of whether Richmond delegates are
20 be elected by primary should be dis
cussed, as citizens were clamorlng for q
decision as TO how they should be chosen.
The Chair stated that he was in favor OF
harmony in tue Democratic party. and
that IN his opinion the question ought to
be agitated. He thought some action
should be taken in the matter, and that
the citizens should have some say.
NO iyFcEssITY FOR HASTE.
W. nanAsaify for hacfp
He thought il was the duty of the CON-
mittee TO decide the question AT the proper
time. and do it fairly without regard
to the candidates. In his opinion IL was
little previous for people TO think tnat
the committee was doing IL to oppose one
man or favor another. As 10 the primary
he favored it, but not on the 5th day of
April. He thought the Democrats present
would decide for the best interests OF the
people in Richmond. in Virginia, and in
the United States. He did not think
Richmond citizens had occasion TO be the
least worried. and there was no need for
hurry. He thought every man in the
committee was perfectly honest and that
they could with perfect propriety say.
Don't be alarmed"
motion to adjourn was then made and
carried. This practically dlsposes OF the
question of electlng our delegates at the
municipal primary.
