Oeesuse the a,egroes ere not open toargu-

negroes, as q ruts, own no property ana
mas 10 taxes worth naming. They suoor-
siirxte AL ether questions TO Their insane
stes,,e 20 be recognized as the equals OF the
whizes. Nothing else has any importance
IN tlvctr eyes when placed side ey SIDE WIN

mo. rs Of thr,l,ess- Payers last fall exercised
no iuA ruce whatever upoa the negroes
minds because they had been offered their
price BY the ether side-tbst price being a
shave a the ossces OF the State, and a right

justers.
Now, wewaut the Wkig tocome ont and
tell the white people Of Richmond whether
IL alludesso the negroes when 1t talks about
~sthe people" being hostile to the present
city goverament' Is the game OF last win
ter to be played over again? Is Colonel
.Cursuaw to be superseded by negrof
Are negroes 10 be made policemen! Are
our city finances to be pat into the hands
OF negroes and their afiesy
We,do not expect these questions to be
answered. The game viii be played ont to
the end In the dark. The negroes will be
privately assured OF their portion OF the
spoils. The old sorchesds, disappointed
oficcseekers, and chronic grumblcrs wilt
unite as usual In ticket made up Of such
material as may be at the command OF the
ReSdjusters. But whenthe election Is over,
the white men OF Richmond will he found
still holding control over her fortunes, er
else the, CITY will be seriously damaged 10y
the success of the Coalition between the DC
groes and the offiee-seekers. More: when
the mongrel Police Commission and mon
grel Board OF Public Interests put negro
policemen on our streets there will be seri-
,ous troubles in eur midst. The white mon
OF this city will, moi t,cscenlay submit TO DE
ruled ty negroes.
Let us have no 'coacedlnents. Up with
your bauueps. Name your committeeman.
