THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS
EnIhused by The Justice OF Their
Cause, Look Confidently
90 Victory.
snsnial 10 cnnrisr Inurnal.

WAsuINGTOS, November 1.-The Vir
ginia Democratic Executive Committee
Of which Mr.. John 5. Barbour is Chair
man, yesterday issued an address on the
progress OF the campaign in that State,
which closes as follows:
1 From the beginning. we have not en-
tertained the slightest distrust Of the final
result and ultimate decision Of the intelli-
gent and conservative element Of our pop
ulation throughout the State, when the
issues involved In the election were fairly
presented and correctly understood.
Thanks 10 our intelligent and unsubsi-
died press, and to the able and eloquent
speakers who have addressed the people
in all parts of the Commonwealth, the
platform Of principles adopted by the
representative men Of the Democratic
party in the convention which met at
Lynchburg in July has been set forth in
unmlstakable oolors, and made so clear
that he who runs may read. Our plighted
! faith TO acquiesce In the settlement Of the
State debt, TO encourage and foster the
common school system, to recognize the
legal and constitutional rights Of all eiti-
zens in the community, TO tighten the
burdens of taxation as far as practicable
and last but not the least, to resist all
usurpation Of power by the few at the ex-
penses Of the many, calls for no yindica-
ton Mt our hands, and is not open for fur
ther comment ifany were deemed neces-
sary. The time for argument has passed,
and for action has arrived. One week
from to-day you will be called upon to
exercise your rights as suffragans, and
upon that decision for good or evil the
future destinies Of Virginia will in great
part depend. We earnestly appeal to you
10 meet the requirements Of the situation.
Give at least one day TO the cause and the
country. See 10 it that your vote is prop
erly cast and legally counted at all haz-
ard, and that your neighbor Is cared for
and protected In the same high privileges.
With fair field and clear sky there
need be but little apprehension Ofthe final
result Trustworthy intelligence and
official reports coming TO the committee
from every part Of the State give an as
surance Of success appr0ximating GER
tainty. The people everywhere are thor
oughly aroused and arising in their mai
esty to vindicate their right of self gov
ernment. Although the machinery OF
election is in the hands Of our adversaries,
we are entitled under the law 10 free
ballot and fair count. We ask nothing
more and will be satisfied with nothing
less. Let this be distinctly understood and
brayely maintained, cost what it may.

THE colored people, many Of them,
mean we'll and are conscientious. Like
other races and peoples, they are over
sensitive and suspicious. The meeting
held last night was decorus and creditable
to the intelligence Of the leaders, who
seem to realize that Il would be i'll timed
and injudicious to STIR up race prejudices
by any indammatory appeals to the more
lily informed masses who follow them.
They have, like all other citizens or
nationalities the absolute right to meet
and discuss the questions of the day.
Some very good advice was given them
by Captain s. s. Garrett, life long Re
publican, who went into the Union army
fiom Ohio, and by Hon. Casey Young
and others. The resolutions offered seem
to have been too mild, however, for the
meeting or the leaders. Something red hot
would no doubt have passed like fash.
The following, however, did pass unani-
mously: si.it - a"ai'nffi a1n
Resolved, That in view of the fact that
we are admonished and urged to refrain
from agitating and discussing the question
of our rights and privileges as citizens, we
do feel and declare il to be our purpose
and duty TO agitate and discuss and in
every right way 10 labor for the rights
which are inherent to us, but have been
and are still denied.
The right Of agitation ''in every right
way" may be inherent, but rights over
white people, sought to be conferred by
the civil rights acts, are not inherent or
acquired Under that act an obiectiona-
Bile eolored person could bring suit
for damages if excluded from
places Of amusement, entertainment or
common public conveyances-an 0bjec-
tionable white person could not. Now
that all are equal before the law, in court
or out Of it, the colored population may
as well be content TO work out their own
status and destiny. No legislation or
standing army or other artificial means
can hold them up above the plane which
they Individually and collectively deserve
to Occupy. Take for Illustration
old Uncle Tom, out at Raleigh,
He is man Of property aud good stand
ing. He is dark as ebony, but be Is a
good citizen. and one Of the most popular
coIored men in Shabby county. He has
sought to make something of himself Ard
has succeeded, Nobody ever hears him
complaining about any Infringement Of
his social or civil rights. He has gwen his
gifted son splendid education. That
young man, dark as he Is, never complains
about his civil rights. He is sensible
enough to know that further legislation in
his behalf could confer no benefit. He is
content to labor in the useful sphere he
has chosen, and practically and really as
to the estimation in which he Is held by
intelligent mankind he holds higher
social position than many white people.
Leading white citizens of this and other
communities have given him all
possible encouragement. And Why
Because he deserves It, and
does not insist that he has the
right to sit down with the guests at the
Peabody Hotel, or to have seat with a
colored dAmsel In the dress circle at the
theater. Work, and education, and econ.
omy, and the accumulation ofmoneyan
property, will elevate the race; not spe-
oial legislation or privileges. t,.
