ADDRESS OF TIE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF
THE GERMAN CONSERVATIVE. CLUB.-Io, ) the
German Y9ter$ Of The CITY Of Richmond: In ac-
cordance with the wishes OF many Conservative
Germans III mass meeting assembled, German
Conservative Club was duly organized, and as q
fundamental principle of the organization it was
. Resoiued, That the Germans, as a unit, viii
use all their energies, In common with their Anne
to defeat titeG Consultations presented by the Racie
Convention lately assembled Mt the capitol, which
do hereby declare the same rs unft and ninst so,
the adoption of the white inhabitants of Virginia.
Furthermore, since the time has at last arrived
when the Germans can and win bring out their en-
tire strength they are thereby enabled to demand
chat political recognition and respect which, ac-
cording to their numbers and intelligence, they
Committees have been appointed for the express
purpose to urge upon all Germans who are, and
who may hereafter be, entitled to register the ne
cessty of so doing in order to cntIe them to vote
at the coming elections.
The Executive Committee has, with the greatest
of pleasure, undertaken their task, and notwitll-
standing the immense trouble and loss Of time they
have abored necessarily TO bring about the result,
which It now lays before the public.
ON last election but 243 German votes were pOlled
while we now have Oil Germans on the registration
lists consequently we have an Increase since the
first registration of 668 voters. ,s...
Too much cannot be said In acknowledgment OF
the readiness with which our German fellow-citl-
zens have aided the committee. and 1t is much
that the committee is enabled TO make this favora-
Bile report and Judging from the good result of
our past labors, we can expect an additional In
crease of voters the registration to take place
shortly before the election, and the committee Is
fully determined to continue on their labOrs In
order to have every one registered who Is lawfully
entitled to do 1t.
Although many have, during this canvass, used
the pretext that the Germans no matter what their
exertions and honest intentions towards their
American fellow-citizens may be, they will not re-
ceive from them the political recognition which
they so justly merit but will only be looked upon
rs good enough to aid them In the election by
voting for them, the committee will leave nothing
undone, and gives hereby its solemn assurance that
thing which Is not In full accordance with our just
fled " it'll anything less than full representation
of German citizens In all the various branches OF
the Government, In comparison with our numbers.
We will also use entire influence Mt the forth
coming nomination. of candidates to recommend
only such rs may be acceptable TO the Germans.
Should, however, our reasonable demand not
meet with q satisfactory, response, the committee
will consider 1t duty to report at an open mass
meeting, In order to have q consultation and full
understanding among our German fellow-citizens
how to act in the premises. ss ~
In conclusion, we again request all who arc en-
titled, and those who may become so, under cir.
cumstauces to neglect embracing the first OppOr.
tunIty to register, for II Is absolutely necessary
that every white who has the good OF the coun-
try ut heart. and who holds dear his own and bls
family:s welfare, should be ready and willing u
vote ut the coming election.
Respectfully &C., ..s.
