cor,be. This, i hope, wilLmake me undef-
stood about United States senator.
INT the last question is the one 70 Wnlcn
all others should give place. The setie-
ment OF orr debt Is the single point upon
which the ewes OF us all should De nAeo,
and I submit that we Of Richmond nave
no right to be quarreiliDg about local maj
ters when our brethren from the mou ~ >
to the seashore are lighting Tor the honor Oh
the whole State. I know that our ian az aIe
poor, and that the bard hand OF tine saA-
rafLerer has been laid heavily upon the peo-
CIR poYerty-stricken land LET II be pro-
rlaIned that this debt was contracted
by y;rpiniaps for Virginia; that itaoiH be
paid by, Yirginiaus for the preservation OF
fhe honor and credit Of Virginia. and that
Virginia repudiates nothing butsdisnonor
and those who seek to dishonor her. IL
would be impossible for me to discuss this
question more lii the short time given me:
Permit me to say In conclusion that should
it he the pleasure OF the citizens OF Riea.
mcnd to elect me to seat In the General
Assembly OF Virginia my voice soall give
forth no uncertain sound In the 'uphofding
Of the principles expressed tonight. And
in coming years, when LIES evening shall
call me from the duties OF busy world,
ask no sweeter thought with which to bless
its close than the fact that gave the
strength Of my early manhood to my native
State when the hand OF the spoiler' was
near.
Ee Y: JOHN JOHNS, JR.
The men to be sent to the Legislature are
those wha:will express the views and guard
the interests OF Richmond and OF virginia,
and WHO are competent to faithfully per-
fp:,n those important duties. To ascertain
whom YOU should nominate and elect, II is
but fair, right, aud proper that, previous &c
the primary election, the candidates Tor your
sutiraees should frankly express their views
on the issues before the people, and an
glad to have this opportunity OF telling you
nv opinion and the course OF action J. Il
nominated and elected, viii pursue. My
views and opinions are briefly stated.
] iayor the settlement Of the State debt as
made by the last Leg islature, and think, we
ought to carry it out in good faith. Ii II
absolutely necessary, In my opinion, te pre-.
serve the credit OF the State that We Should
do so. and pledge myself, il elected; to do
all in my power to so carry tout. t".' -

] can only ssy, my fellow. citizens, that
came to Richmond tbirty:seven years ago,
and want5to see Sunday observed as 1t has
alwaysw thin myrecollection been kept bere
No more quiet and orderly city has there
been in the country than Richmond. sAno
who have kept it SO? A police force, TIE
superior Of which cannot be found. 10
them I say leave the enforcement OF the
laws, and Can guaranty that cur sundays
will continue to- be;the old SUNDAY
that we have had from our childhood, ahe
tina, no one win have cause to complain

believe In the education OF the people. 1
/ you only teach them to read aud write It'll

I can only add that all my ties and associa
