Senator Wilson'S Tour--He
Makes Speech in Richmond
Gov, Pierpont Also Speaks,
RICHMoND, April q,


Senator Wilson addressed a crowd
Of about 5000 persons from the
capitol steps this afternoon. Near
ly all those present were colored,
though all classes of whites were
represented. He gave the history
Of reconstruction, argued that the
Presidents policy had caused more
unhappiness than the work Of any
ono man in America, and urged the
election of men to State offices and
Congress who favor honest accept
ance of the policy of the nation
He had noefear of the colored vote
of Virginia being controlled by Sc
cessionists, and appealed to the old
Wings to unite their fortunes with
the Republican party. He advised
the disfranchised class that by speak
ing and working for the national
policy, they would show their coun-
trymcn that the disabilities now i'm
posed on them ought to be removed
and a country that had proved its
generosity would not forget them,
Gov. Pierpont made a brief .peech
advising the colored people to
work and make the old State bloom
again.

the distinction intended by the Gre

you can get somebody to believe it,
