The Democrats OF Richmond, excited,
to a degree for teh past three weeks over #
the mayoralty contest, had been lulled III
into q state Of quetude yesterday, BY
the results OF Tuesdays primary and $
almost every one was willing to under-
take to explain how it all happened: a
while many of those who had not sup-
ported tho winners in the contest were
saying, II told YOU So" Captain Carlton 4
IIMcCarthy, the nominee Of the primary
for Mayor, was by far tho most popGlar
citizen of Richmond yesterday and he u
was not only beseIged with callers att
the City Hall, but found great dItficultyss
In making ordinary progress along the
streets. lIe came down on Main Street
to get lunch shortly after noon, and owing
10 the great shower of scongratulationsE "
offered him bye citizens, ! t required more
than an hour to nlove.I as ~ far as two ss4

In Good Spirits.
Mayor Taylor. who had lost the honor
to&an old-tinle antagonist, was likewise
| In good spirits, and while he was not
talking for publication he told some
friends that he expected to spend4all his
days in Richmond, and to live like ~
tgentleman, in Notwithstanding with the 4
cares Of official life, 5 Nj # i
1T was said by some OF those close to 4
His Honor yesterday, however, that hes
| had further political aspirations, and that
he expected to oppose Mr.. James Co.
Smith in the next primary for City Ser
geant. If such fight should arise, It
would be q case OF diamond cut

strength before the people.
Raise the Salary.
There was much gossip around the,
4 City Hall concerning the probability OF

and a number5of& propositions were sug-S3
! gested. One was to reduce tho salary
OF the city accountant to $780, wherei
1t was some months ago. and take the,
$500 added thereto. and put 1t on thali
salary OF Mayor, making the latter s.. 600. I
i Another was to give the Mayor $300ot
outright, and leave the salary of the ac1S
countant at S2,4O0. 1t was further; pro-sf
4 posed to give the Mayor n secretary at I
i a fair salafy. and let the new execntivs!
