JUDGE MIGRANTS REASONS.
Judge Ingram's reasons for not stand
hg In the primary are given in the fol-
lowing letter:
MANCHESTER, VA. July 81 1894.
n. l.. Dawson. Esq, Chairman OF City
Democratic Committee OF Richmond:
Dear Sir.-After a conference with my
friends in the city OF Richmond l have
determined 20 make no contest at the
primary to be held here on the I'd OF Au-
gust. My reasons for so doing are as fol-
lows: There are two prominent Richmond
candidates In the field. both of whom ma
turally have a much larger personal as
well as political acquaintance in their
OWN city than nave. beng resident OF
Manchester. The sy stem adopted by your
committee does not give representation
OF delegates based OF the actual num-
Der OF votes cast but tine candidate re-
ceiving the highest number OF votes cast
In each precinct shall name the delegates
allotted TO such precinct" Under this sys-
tenn / could hardly be expected to secure
any dele gates against two local cand-
dates. In thus declining 10 enter the
contest In Richmond ] make this state
ment Of my rea. ons therefor in no spirit
Of complaint or criticism. but In justice
TO my many friends who have generously
offered me their support In conclusion |
would say that while l decline TO enter
the contest in Richmond. j am still a
candidate before the people of the dis
trict and my name will be presented TO
the Democratic convention which meets
on the Sth of August. 1 shall take the
liberty OF sending this communication to
the public press as the best mode of adj
vising my friends and the public of my
continuance in the contest, as well as 10
let them know my reasons for having de-
clincd to make contest in your city.
Thanking your committee for their uni
form courtesy, l am,
Yours ysyS truly.
