Il. A. Randolph. ESD. Pres'ne"' WV
State Democratic League' no, ~
Sir: A few thoughts may 10. pe
amiss touching the political con'es. ~
our State. and how the coloren people
should vote In order TO preserve ,heir
most vital interests as citizens OF virginia.
A convention Of colored men assembled
In Richmond In 1875, and began CONTEST
against those who lived, OFFICIALLY tnrouen
appeals TO colored voters on the line or
prejudice and passion. Later on the puik
Of coiored voters made a combination
with about tyenty-eight Thousand white
virginlans. They finally broke the line OF
that organization, and helped 80 elect
Governor Lee. Also. I'm large numbers,
they voted for Governor Mckinney.
TIE notice served that none should OBJ
tain Office. or official authority, In this
Commonwealth through appeals 10 the
mere passion OF colored voters, was at
all times sufficiently plain until at last,
thank God. the time has come when 10
leader Will venture to act upon that
ground. Absolutely free from past EN-
barrassments. what remains but to sup
port the wealth. intelligence and power Of
the State? DO not our people need the
friendly exercise of these potent forces?
And in guarding the interests Of all, are
any more worthy or honorable than this
class?
From the broad and honest policy of
President Cleveland and through the
support OF the great body OF our respon-
slblc people. we have much to hope.
Guided by the experienc Of the past, we
should move onward, give Colonel oFer-
rail 5000 colored votes. elect the regular
legislative ticket and preserve to the peo-
pie Of Virginia the blessings Of pure JEFF
fersonian Democratic principles.
Respectfully,
JOHN b. SYPHAX.

with the concurrence OF two-thirds, ex-

This is equivalent to a command BY
the people 70 the Senate. 20 establish rules
of procedure that will enable 1t TO trans
act the public business that Is brought be-
| fore Il. No discretion Is left to 1t. 1t
| IL ordered by the people TO adopt whatever
| rules are necessary for It to transact the
| public business. What do we find to be
the fact IN face of this plain mandate
| of the Constitution? Why, because United
States senators have chosen to assume
that the Senate Of the United States is
some kind OF an exalted institution which
causes men TO change their natures when
they become members OF IL, we find them
refusing to establish those rules which
the Constitution commands them 10
establish. because, say they. II cannot be
supposed that a United States senator
will remain the same man that he was
before he came to the Senate, and 1t Is
of course TO be assumed that all OF them
will be guided In their official conduct by
those principles which ought to be In
the minds Of such exalted dignitaries.
What nonsense. what stuff.
The Senate is in no respect different
from any other deliberative body. Men
remain men when they enter 1t, sub
iect TO the same influences and PAS
lions as governed them before. The ex-
pcrience Of mankind has taught us that
without rules for the conduct OF tusi-
ness the selnshness of men will drive
them into rcscrting to any course what
ever that promises advantages to their
interests. when the occasion calls on
them, whether members OF a body or
sham and pretended dignity. or buck
sters In the FISH market. 1t Is enough
that the trainers of our Constitution
wh) knew this nature Of man COM
manded the Ser ate to establish rules.
But II that command were not there,
then their own common sense should
teach senators that they ought TO es-
tablish rules Of procedure.
The question then for the people of
the United states TO consider Is whether
they will allow United States senators,
In their ridiculous desire TO magnify
themselves into something little apart
from, and a little better than, the rest 1
Of the people OF the United States, TO
defy the peoples command, and have
the Senate an obstacle In the way of
public business instead Of an aid to its
transaction. This is the question now
before the people Of the United States. |
and this 1t becomes them to consider in |
all its gravity and seriousness.

General Davis, they do not like the
concessions, and they say that the al.
lowing them to peddle out things from
the different countries materially affects
their business. Many Of them nave so
decidedly objected that we have
changed the rule and allow them to sell
things IN the various buildings. We
expect them TO pay percentage to the
fair. They aye not doing, however,
the business they expected to do. This
is largely from the fact that the richer
class of our people are not here, This
crowd you see on the grounds today IS
not made up Of men who buy thousand
dollar vases, fine carriages. or order
beautiful china and pictures II the
times let up we will have some OF these
people in September, but not nov As
