Annexation Of Richmond and Manchester
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:

This subject seems to be attracting
attention, and deservedly so. There
seems to be some possibility OF th6
thing being accomplished. Possibly II
ought to be done. Some of US on the
Southside feel a little fattered by the
kind consideration Richmond seems to be
giving to the subject, and try to imagine
how We will feel to realize that we
are actually living In Richmond, the beau
tifui and historic city, though we have
not changed our residences. To some of
US 1t win be as a balm to wounded
consciences, because hitherto when we
have gone to distant cities we have not
felt that the name Of Manchester oppo-
site our names on the public register
would be In keeping with our dignity and
reputation. and we have strained our
conscience little. just anticipating
what would be-and registered from Rich
mond. Annexation will relieve that trou-
BILE. Others from the Southside who have
seen our city pick herself up out OF the
ashes and shake herself and prove her
right to be are a little reticent, and just
a little slow to espouse with enthusiasm
this cause. We don't know whether we
are ready to enter into association with
our sister people. We love life and
liberty on this side, and we have been
made to feel just a little hesltant about
coming under the domain OF Richmond
juries. Very well we know that II We
are annexed the public business will be
handled in the magnificent City Hall on
the other side, and Manchester's first
experience on that side In that splendid
hall of justice still fingers in our memo
ries.
Some, too, are very much troubled about
one calamity which annexation will bring
to Richmond. We are not so selfish as
to be totally one-sided in this matter.
Manchester has for many years afforded
the only stock In trade to quite liberal
proportions OF Richmond's people Tor all
their tests and witticisms. Many n Rich
mond audience would have dragged
YEARLY through some belabored attempt
at an entertainment had It not been for
the relief found in some alluson to
the Free State of Manchester" or to
the less euphonious designation Of Mud
chester" Sometimes, indeed, so welcome
is relief to the people under the tor
mentors that the bare mention Of the
name of Manchester affords the needed
ripple OF laughter. Annexation, of course.
will wipe out all this stock at one fell
blow. Still, IL Manchester. like Nazareth.
can produce one good thing. and can
(using the figure of the Dispatch OF De-
cember 20th) save Richmond from fall
ing lower and lower every year in the
scale of large cities think We ought to
weigh the matter carefully and pa
tlentIy. am myself always in favor of
helping those who need our help, pro-
vided no compromise Of principle Is in
