linuc 10 be habitablc for white men. He
was not going to howl himself to death in
praise oi every name on that ticket; but this
ne wouidSay, that the worst man on that
ticket was infinitely better than the best
man on the other. ..
WHO is on THE RADICAL TICKET!
An Englishman, an Irishman, a German,
and eight negroes. The United States is not
represented at all. No, the western hemi-
sphere is not represented at all. They do
not even offer us Il Mexican or an Alaskan
50 far rs the House of Dclcgatcs-thc tail of
lhe tickct-lS concerned, they present seven
negroes and Lincke. Lewis Lindsey, with
his horn IN his hand, at the end of the tail
where the hair is long. and Charles Zincke,
with the missing letter in his hand, at the
other end of the tail, where the hair is short.
Can white man--a Nirginian--hesitate be-
tween such a set and the gentlemen whom
the True Republican and Conservative Com
mittec have agreed upon:
THE GovERNoRsuYP.
The speaker then compared the two can
didatcs for the GovernorShip. Gilbert G..
Walker had not allied himself against an
alien race and taken sides against the blood
that ilowed III the veins of his own children.
Gllbert, {. Walker did not 60 to Washing
ton and belle the people Of the State from
whom he drew his pay he did not swear
that those people were not TO be believed
upon oath, and he has never done thou
sand other dirty things that II. II. Wells
. has done.
lie then paid high compliment to Colo
mel Walker, and urged that he was inf
nitcly, incomparably, superior to his oppo-
ncnt, and in every way worthy of the sui-
fragcs of our people. We must register
and rally to his support.
SPEECH OF MR.. NELSON.
Mr.. James NeeSon, of Richmond, was the
next speaker. He congratulated the peo-
pie Of Virginia upon being allowed to par
ticipatc once more in the administration OF
the government from which they have been
so long excluded. 1t was their duty TO give
their support, direct and indirect, 10 one OF
two parties. One is liberal and mag
unanimous; the other ungcnerous and pro-
scriptiYc. Would anybody hesitate between
| them: He recognized the fact that great
revolution had taken place, and that with
it had disappeared ull relics of slavery and
. all political distinctions on account of color.
! These arc Il great reality, which We must
consider before we act. Both parties in
Virginia now recognize these facts, and
what else can any negro ask! The difference
| is that the Wells party is organized upon
the principle OF tyranny and prescription,
seeking to diSfrinchiSe and degrade the
white people by organizing the ignorance
and stupidity OF the State ~ gainst them.
lie denounced the attempts of RAJ
dcaiSm to oStracsc the great and the good
of the country in scathing terms, and
showed how history is repeating itself in
the events Of the present century. In con.
clu>ion, he urged the great advantages o
the white ticket over the black ticket now
. before the people. The city Of Richmond
would never consent to be represented in
/ the law-maiin@ assembly by seven negroes
and one white man.
/ ". W. WALKER SPEAKS.
I Mr. W. w. Walker, of Wcstmoreland
! was then introduced and received viii
great enthusiasm. His first words, though
A., hoarscly spoken, commanded the attention
Of the audience. He commenced by OK
! pressing his regret that his hoarsencSs would
prevent his being heard by this vast assem-
blayc. He never as now desired the gift OF
speech. He was conSolcd, however, 10y
! the belief that Richmond was fully aroused
/ To the importance of the work. He was
| aware that this canvass could hardly be con
I dIctcu;S il should be cunttuctcd--by gentle
mru. His opponents could not be treated
! even with seeming respect, for they them
<clvcS-miScrabe wrctchcs as they arc
would know it would be the bittcrcSt irony
/ 10 Cali lncln uccenl.
/ DIRTY JOB.
! 1t wasa dirty Job that he had undertaken
! 10 hold this party. in all their slime ant
! filth. up TO the gaze of this vast multitude
After IN eloquent and moving declaration
Of the rights for which he fought, he called
/ the attention OF the audience to few fact;
! in the history of the Radical candidate FOL
! Governor.
! WELLS SKETCuED.
lie was man who, during the four ycar
of his residence in Virginia since the close
Of the war. has been engaged III one persist
, cnt effort to draw money out OF the STATE
until his own cormorant appetite is gor9ed
To do this he was willing to belle his fellow
citizens and put them under the oppressive
heel OF an inferior race. One single sen
tcncc is enough to write the history of hi
purpose. His plans were so unhOly tha
even Thad. Stevens and Boutwell, rejected
them with scorn. Is this man TO be pu
in the cubcrnatorial chair! Surely no white
man here, and few black men, would cot
for him: but some might help to clcvat,
him by failing TO register and vote for hi;
opponent. Some say, however, that Wells
, promises very fair now. And why! He
wants TO get few white votes. But these
people can't be trusted by us because thcil
! characters are not such rs to justify our re-
! posing confidence in them.
| THE REASON WHY. -..
| 4 man to be trusted must be honest.
\ negro: That's the reason why we cant
I trust you all.
! Mr.. Walker There's great deal better
] reason than that. my friend. It's because
! y0u are not free, but are driven by PACK
! of vile hounds to your own destruction.
lie then told the darkies story which
seemed to put them in 4 better humor.
PLAIN TRUTH.
Rcsuming his remarks to the white pco
pie of the audience, Mr.. Walker demon
! stratcd that the Conservative ticket must
| be elected and that it could easily be done
! bv means OF the 10000 white majority IL
| The State. This result was of the greatest
! importance to the whites, and Of almost
equal Importance to the blacks. The lanC
| belongs to the white people, and upon then
| the blacks depend for support.
A negro The land all belongs to the
! Government.
! Mr.. Walker: 1t does, ch: Well, let HE
| tell YOU, sir, that | have Il little place III
! the country. Suppose you come and try tt
! take possession Of it in the name OF tht
| Government! | reckon you'd find it The
! unhcathcSt job you ever undertook.
! The speaker concluded with All carnes
appeal to the people of Richmond to rally
| for the maintenance of their rights, whlcf
are in peril, and with Il glowing tribute tt
the Conservative standard-bcarer.
The whole vast concourSe of people thel
united with him i'll giving three rouslns
cheers for Gilbert {. Walker, the neX
| Governor Of Virginia.
