ms In Favor OF Voting.
"Maj. Richards" said REPUBLICAN re-
porter, "what is your opinion about the dis
trict government? Are you in favor of suf-
frage here?" "Yes," replied Mr. Richards,
" am in favor of the restoration of suffrage
to the people of this district, because it is
right thai it should be restored, and because
1t was wrong to deprive them of the right of
self government. No argument eau be uged
against suffrage in this district that would
not be equally potent and apply with equal
force to any other community. The nerce-
nary argument that congress, under
our present form Of government, pays one
half our public expenses is, to my mind,
unworthy of an American citizen. The right
of self government should be above price to
a citizen of the United States. 1t is a libel
upon our patriot fathers and the principles
for which they fought, as embodied in the
declaration of independence for the congress
of the United States to solemnly declare by
statute, Us they have done, that self govern
ment in this district, at the very head and
center of our government is failure. The
oppressors of the people in other countries
can but note the Inconsistency Of the high
sounding proclamations of congress and the
practical application of their theories in this
district where they have the right of exclu-
sive legislation.
81 am opposed" continued Mr.. Richards,
"to our present form of government because
men are selected to rule over us who are
strangers to our people, who have little in
common with us, and who seem not to heed
the wishes of the masses. When they seek
knowledge or advice from citizens they ap-
peal to few moneyed aristocrats, who long
ago emancipatcd themselves from any SYM
pathy with the great body of our people, the
laborng and industrial classes L am op-
posed to triumvirate which merges itself
into an aristocracy, embracing all its vicio us
features and none of its redeeming qualities. )"
