Address OF che Conservative Cisy Gem.
rnassee 10 the VOTERS OF Aachhnond.
( RIcHNoaD, October 14, 1874.
The Central Committee, whose business it
is to guard the interests Of the Conservative
party and those Of the people OF the city Of
Richmond, deem 1t their duty to remind the
voters that the elections which take plaoe on
the Sd Of November will be important ones,
and that upon .sthe result will depend the
welfare Of many weichty interests. The
happy condition OF Virginia as compared
with that OF Louisiana, Mississippi, or South
Carolina Is due TO the fsct that the real peo-
pie four State--the men OF Intelligence, CHAR
Acter, aud property-have had charge Of the
|Government Even Virginia. however, has
suffered, ana us still suffering much
as q consequence OF Radical rule
10 her sister States, md Radical misrepresen-
tstions as to the condition OF society even
here, it being one Of the most common forms
Ia which carpet-bagger malignity presents
itself to slsnder the communities upon which
these political adRentureps are preyiug. So
long a. these dangerous selfseeksrs have
even hope OF securing the Offices 10 Virgi-
n3s, so long will they fIl the ear of The north.
efn people with slanderous accusations
against the true people of the State. And so
long rs these false tales OF disorders here
and OF IN unsettled conditioned society are
thus propR,ated, SO long will nDrthern meR
of capital decline to invest their means in
those manufacturing establishments which
we SO much need, and which would contri.
butte so largely to the wealth of the farm
ers Of Virginia and Of all her peo-
pie. Nobody can estimate the damage
which has been done to our material In.
terests by the traitors who reside amongst
Us, and whose only motive in traduciug Us
Is to- get possession of the Offices Of the
State. Let Us defeat these men NJ the ballot.
box for few years longer, and defeat them
By suca n2jorisies as will blast all their
hopes Of public plunder, and We shall reap
rich reward in peace and prosperity.
Upon you, voters OF Richmond, deyolves
the duty Of defeating them in this fair city.
You are deeply concerned Our city is gain.
ing population and wealth constantly, and it
Is for yol 10 say that this happy condition
shall not be changed, as it certainly will be
changed, if you turn over the interests of
the city TO the adventures who are now
seeking to secure control Of them.
In our candidate for Congress we hsye >
nsn whom the voice of the people of all Yir-
glnis declares to be the political savior OF
the State. HisretOrl as Governor has given
bin such popularity as 1t has perhaps
never before been the good fortune of any
man to enjoy. Not to elect him would be
TO disappoint the true men of this whole
Common wealth and crafty the entire Radi-
cal party Of the nation. Happily, we need
lear no such results. The indications are
that Gilbert C. Walker will be elected by a
very large majority.
Our candidate for the Senate Is also good
man and true. His nomination has given
satisfaction in every part of the district. and
to eli good Conservatives. Such are his
prospects Of election that it is doubtful
whether he will have any opposition. But
let us not relax our efforts for this reason.
Every vote may be needed, and must be
polled for A. 8. McRae.
We could say much more to induce you
to exert yourselves in the campaign, but we
trust that it is not necessary so to do. The
glorious news OF the overwhelming defeat
Of the Republican party in Ohio is of itself
enough TO nerve your arms, animate your
hearts, and renew your zeal. This com.
mittee have worked faithfully and diligently,
and are not willing to believe that you are
less jealous than they. We will only say In
conclusion, that whilst this committee expect
to spend no money unnecessarily In this
cnpaign-none, indeed, except for the una
voldable expenses Of registration, election
day, advertising, printing tickets, hiring
hacks, &c.-yet they will expect you to fur
nish cheerfulIy the small amount which they
may ask for Not one dime Of it will be spent
| upon the committee itself, but all will be
used in promoting by honorable means the
success of that party upon whose permanent
rule depends our and your welfare and pros
perity. ". +. DR1sKARD,
