The South Side for George ID. Wise,

10 inc EUttOT ~ We DtSIutCH:
1t is not always that when text is taken
that the preacher sticks TO it, and it is not
always even the case that when Il venerable
paper heads an article that the heading suits
the body. Now, yesterday, without in
| tending it, you gave the good people OF
Richmond more credit, think. than they
deserved. We are willing to admit that
your people are very generous, pay a heap
Of taxes, and have great desire to advance
not only what is to the interest OF Rich
mond, but what is also for the interest Of
Virginia. This being so, the consequence
has been that your white people have been
and are, we think, still bitterly opposed to
the Boss. We we'll remember how liberal
Richmond responded when the cry went
out ''that in certain parts OF ireland the
people were suffering for something to eat"
! We also we'll remember when some OF our
own Virginia people were in a like situa-
| ton how literally Richmond responded TO
their call for help. Some people have
the happy faculty OF speaking strongly
for help when a fellow-man is in trouble,
and especially when he is needing food,
| but take great care TO see to il that some
body else gives such felow-man money,
and not they. Breath being cheap, such a
man can spend il freely; but when it comes
to giving money, that is an entirely diff
ferent question. Now, your true people
0he whites, natives, Irish, German,
French, Italians, and all, as people, don't
come under this head. We admit YOUR
generosity, but we do think you gave them
rather more credit yesterday for these traits
than they deserved when you headed the
proceedings Of the ward meetings on Fri
day night "All for George" We think
gttal linz. Cd, L
" All for George because he has proved TO
be faithful representative TO Richmond
and the people OF the Richmond district.
and also to the people OF Virginia" Right
glad were we to see such marked demon
stratlon ofyour people in favor OF CAPTAIN G.
ID. Wise, and The only thing we object 10 *
that you did not go further and saw "that
we were all for George because he had been
so faithful in being for Us and our Virginia
people," Your people should 90 for him
with perfect rush if they really desire 70
have a faithful public servant. You NAV
bet your last bottom dollar that he will
prove true TO you, and YOU need never fear
that ne VIII trade off his vote in Congress
10 such effect that in a few years he will he
able to retire about rs rich rs we sunnoSe |
our Mr.. Robson to be. He is not that
style OF man, and for the honor OF Vir- |
ginia we do hope to see hin and the Hon.
>. Randolph Tucker not only returned to |
Congress, but by increased majorities. Let
every white Democrat in Richmond see 10 !
II that even if captain John Smith,
should arise from the dead and wanted 10
go TO Congress from the Richmond district.
he could not do it II he was Boss Mahone's
(sifnDGfiV hnna hat forI |
90 10 work at once and swear by all that Is
good that so faithful representative as
George ID. Wise shall not be defeated. even
U II does displease the greatest political
> trader OF the day, and his friend. MFR.
'mltb. Let your people know that other
eeIions OF the State expect this of them. {
