orr NEXT CONGRESSMAN.
Hon. George u. Wise was the first
fpeakcr OF the evening. He paid his re-
specte tO LangstOn in his opening re-
marks. quoting from his speech made at
the negro celebration last Thursday at
the Fxposition-G Grounds.
The admission Of the Republican
States of Idaho and Wyoming and the
rejection of New Mexico and Arizona,
which we're Democratic was next referred
to. The two new States combined had
sma Ter population than the Third con
cressiouh district Of Virginia and yet
tbev had two congressman and four
senator's, which entitled them TO SIX
votes IN the Electoral College. New
Mexico alone had four times tine popula-
ton Of tho two and still she was re-
fused.

Captain Wise next elucidaied the mys-
tories OF the force bill, which he de-
nominated az "a damnable outrage upon
u1pnlar rights" Some one had asked
vbv Naddll voted for TINS bill and
Browne against 1t. The answer had very
srty becn made that the latter was go

r4t There was no use Of a man run
mig ior anything in Virginia after voting
ior Tie force bill
THEIR TIME FOR DISAPPEARING.
The Blair bill, declared Mr.. Wise,
VS. as dead az Hector. There was no
surplus now with which 10 put 1t IN
,lsrntiou even ii passed.
II wa-a remarkable fact, but whenever
tie Republicans and surplus met Doth
ofthem always disappeared. Instead OF
tl,re being surplus for the present
fiscal wear there was deficiency.
The total revenue. including postage
r..cpts. "a estimated, would he IN round
numbers 100000. while the appro-
lristions were $4,000 200.
Mr. Wise next cOntrssted the attitudes
n the two parties towards the working
nan.
FULLY reviewing the tariff. the speaker
closed bv asking the club TO see to II
that every Democratlc voter WAS regis
tered There had been no candidate put
up by the opposition as yet hut there was
no telling what day might brlng forth.
COLONEL TAzEwELL ELLErT.
In introducing Colonel lazewell Elicit
the President alluded to him as one who
lad always been the choice OF that sec
tion Of the city, and whom he hoped to
see the congressional candidate two years
hence.
Colonel Elicit said he would not dis
cuSs the tariff or force bill, but simply
the color question, which WAS really the
true issue. flo did not hate the negro,
hut loved the white man better. The
place for tho negro WAS IN the far South.
They wanted them there, where all who
came we're utilized in the cotton and
sugar plantations, and were not brought
in competition with white labor. The
proportion OF white men IN the state OF
Virginia was increasing daily and IN
forty years or less the question would
be settIedIn favor Of the whites. Peabody
and some other few other northern PHI
lanthropists had helped the negroes
literally. but whore they gave dime to-
wards educating the cOlorcd children the
white people of the South are giving
thousands OF dollars
THEY CANNOT CIVILIZF,
Twenty-Five thousand negroes were
sent to Liberia to clyilize the natives.
It's sixty years since these people were
sent out, and instead Of ciyilizing the
natives ten thousand of them have re-
lapsed into "a state of barbaTism. This
statement was made 10y colored man
who told him that be came home because
be was afraid II he stayed there he might
become wild himself and run into the
bushes hayti was al example OF negro
domination Revolutions there occurred
semi annually with great regularity,
while in san Domingo, an adjoining
island, the colored folks have become
cgunihals.
In striving TO attain social equality the
negro VAS going against nature. and God
himself would put HIS foot upon it.
The speaker said he could stand differ
cnces on the tariff, but how any white
nan in his night mind could be at vari-
ance with hun on this question he could
not see.
Colonel Elicit said he would make no
direct appeal to his audience, but asked
them how could any white man vote
other than the Democratic ticket on No
yemher 4th when he thought of his wife,
Lis son, and, most Of all. of his daughter.
CHAIRMAN LAMB.
Mr.. James c. Lamb, chairman Of the
Cty Committee, was called on for q
spetch. He said that in his opinion the
Iug was full, and be wouldn't put any
thing more in il. He would later on ad
dress them at length. Mr.. Lamb closed
hy introducing MIR. 5. B. CHM, presi'
dent Of Brookland Democratic Clut
No. !.
Nr. CHM started out by saying that
though the enemy was hiding It's hand,
tie colored troops were moving all night
long
IT WOULDN'T WORK.
Waddil would, insisted Mr.. CHM
now be on the stump but for little shI
,hat happened in Washington. lie wai
80 sure that the force bill was to shl
through The Senate that he had voteC
for 1t. But it didn't work, and he wa
In the position Of u man who cooked
pistol and pulled the trigger but !
wouldn't fire, and now IL WAS the Demo
Gratis turn. Next spring the Henuc
Democrats were going to max
1t VAIN for the Republican
in the county. They were gong I

Christian gentleman. That might ot

that he is devil, but white man VII
turns to negro is.
