All men should have their share and partici-
paion in the government OF Virginia"
The Young Democracy OF Petersburg pro-
pose holding big mass meeting next week.
OH which occasion several distinguished
speakers will be present to address them.
The following are some extracts from the
speech OF Mr.. Wise on the subject OF " Afri-
c8n,zing' the State:
II am for manhood suffrage. But it is
said that a man who can't pay one dollar
ought TO 90. Establish that principle, and
you establish tie principle OF moneyed aris-
iOcraCy. II yOu tax man one dollar, why
fax-
getting up to the idea that man with one
hundred dollars Is better qualified to vote
Than nan worth nothing
"Tbe cry is from every hand, You are
irving 10 make the State OF Virginia a
negro state ii is awful, is IL not Ii
being honest men. II doing that which an
Overwhelming majority OF people Of Vir-
GINA have decided is right, is getting to
that. | would say 80 help me God, j
will do " hat have sworn to do rather than
put the stain OF perjury upon myself for
the sake OF temporary aScend'ncy.'
The Keynote Of he Funders is that we
are trying 10 AfricanIZe Virginia; that it is
getting 10 be a race fight. Thank the Lord
for il! II the colOred people present will
listen 10 what Funder speakers talk about,
ntbey will listen 10 them, there will be no
necessity for them TO hear our speakers at
all. They Qhe FuDdCr spcakers) get up and
talk about having The blood OF Edward
lronsides and the blood OF God knows bow
many folks. Have you ever been in New
York city at night and met a gal with
bangs. who wears a hustle and switches
herself, and seems to say With her eyes,
by ilmiBy, get out Of my way'Y You
Know what she is. This is what the average
Funder in politics is; be is political
Whorel They are living memories Of an.
eestoTs whose impudence they inherit, but
none OF their talents"
Mr. Wise then addressed himself to the
galleries, which were filled with colored
people. 1.-The Funders are trying to make
Naraee fight. | know that when they try
20 make II race fight yCu colored people
also Will make it race fight. There are
enough Of you, with the Readjusters, to
give Tie Funders hell Of llekng.V
