Colonel Morris moved that committee Of |

was lost.
Mr. d. j. Reardon moved that Mr.. Thomas
Bvrne be one of the candidates The motion
WIS lost for want of second"
MI g. HltZman nominated Mr.. waiter
r Orange rs one of the candidates. The
latter arose and stated that the one who had
nominated him possessed his sincere thanks.
That the candidates he heard last Friday eve
cling f0rtwO hours had spoken of three issues.
One was the Appropriation for old soldiers;
tie next was in reference 10 the color line in
the street-cars.
When heard that question discussed l was
urp-ised for though only workingman ]
can't understand why such an issue should
be discussed when the city of Richmond has
he whole matter in charge and not the Leg
stature of Virginia. The last issue spoken OF
was that of commissions for the city of
Richmond.
THEIR PLATFORM.
Aplatform for our representatives is not
needed. T. he time has arrived when II Is
known what issues the wOrklngmen will vote
upon. and you know too well what issues
could be discussed and passed IN the Legisla-
tlre for our benefit. 1 am not an asplrant for
legislative hOnOrs. but / am a voter of this
city. and will never vote for the man who
penetrated upon the wOrkingmen of this
State the iniQutous kagland bill:
want % see every official IN this city who
GETS over 81 600 a wear elected by tho people. |

tate government by the people, but If Rich
m0nd officials are from the peoples su6rages
have never discovered 1t.
Look at the Democracy Of the primary.
Heretofore the cost for entering primaries
has ranged from about $40 TO SIS. The CITY
Central Democratic Committee has informed
Us that this primary VIII cost 500. thus max
inc the w0rklngman use go to be allowed to
be voted for. How many Of Us are able 10 put
down $40. How many can afford to DO 1t. 1t
strikes me that il Is very peculiar thing that :
this particular primary should cost 500 when ,
heretofore the cost has been 500
10 Is almost impossible for me TO accept 5
The nomination. but we have men who are
ssekug our sufrages-Mr. Byrne and Mr.. ,
Hntb-and if they assure me that they did
ut vote for the Ragland bill | will forgive
them for their sins of omission. If you sup ,
port these men, / will. If You do not, | Will Z
vote for others.
The motion for Mr. Orange as a representa- !
I've was uLau4uouSly ChIIleu. q
