the following address 20 the Democratic
voters:
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE,
RICHMOND, VA, May 23. 1883
Tomorrow, Thursday, May oath, il the
time fixed upon 10y law for the election
OF all the municipal officers of the city Of
Richmond. The Democrats OF our city
have nominated candidates for all of the
general Offices aud for The Board Of AL
dermen and Common Council in pri
mary election, which will be ever mem
orable because OF the deep interest felt
bv our citizens therein and the over
whclming vote pOlled
But do not permit yourselves TO be now
entfapped into carelessness and lethargy
by the fact that so large vote was cast
In The primary contest. Remember thai
we have wary foe, who is ever ready
to take advantage OF either our negli.
gence or over confidence.
A surprise may await us 1t Is re-
ported that our enemies intend 10 spring
a ticket upon Us on The day OF election,
and Democracy has lost too much by
oyer-conlidence aad apathy in The past
not TO profit by experience.
Do not fail 10 vote, and 10 get your
neighbors to vote Your most vital in
,erests may depend upon il.
TO those who voted in the primary it
is unnecessary TO appeal. We have Il
right to expect, and dO erpect their unial-
tering support OF all of our nominees in
the battle Of tomorrow they are on
their pledge of honor to give it,
Many of Us did not secure the nomina
ton of our faSoriles in the primary, vet
that was combat among friends, and to
the vict0rs all QeHer0us and honorable men
will now render that unstinted and earn
est support which will make them irwin
chile in the presence of the common foe
Onr nominees are among the most in
telligent, substantial, and public-spirited
Of cur fellow citizens; they are men OF
character. who have the best Interests OF
our growing and prosperous city AT heart,
and who will by diligence, fidelity, and
economy in the discharge Of public trusts,
as well as by wise. pnbic-spirited and
prudent LEGISLATION do all in their rower
10 promote the development OF her numer
ous industries, and to lend her helping
hand in the career OF rapid growth and
prosperity which the future has in store
for her
Therefore ii is that we confidently ap-
peal To all of our fellow citizens who love
their city, desire TO see her heautified, and
who have an interest in the pros
perity, peace, and happiness of all her
people TO support the nominees OF the
Democratic party in the contest OF to-
morrow. Respectfully,
The DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
STAND By YOUR CoLORs AND SCAN YOUR
TICKETS.
TO this appeal it is useless TO add any
thing. Every man who voted at the
primary pledged bis honor to support the
nominees OF the party at the regular
election, aud the large vote then pollcd Is
assurance Of overwhelming success II
the voters stand by their colors in ac-
cordance with their promises. The most
important matter to be guarded against
is the sandwehing in of Republicans
with Democratic nominees. For instance,
the following Council ticket has been
gotten Out in Clay ward
For Board of Aldermen-W. b. Clark
For Common CounCil-JObn l.. Fink,
John X. Towles, c. W. Burr, James A.
Wallen, Charles |. Phillips.
For Justices of the Peace-B. A Jacob,
NJ Fill Seay, G. W. Tyler.
This is published as a specimen of how
the enemy propose 10 steal march on
TIE party. The same movement is on foot
in each ward, and ii will therefore be
necessary for every voter to carefully
scan their tickets.
