Cast Their Ballots.

The principal interest In to-day's cleo
ton centers in the contest in Jackson
ward. The war has literally been carried
into Africa.

the Mitchell Bahen" and the "Straigt
Republican" This year it is a three

the "Bahen- Mitchell" faction.
CHAIRMAN PATTEsoN's ADDRESS.
Chairman Patteson, ever alert in the
interest Of his party, issues the folloW-
ing address:
Headquarters Richmond City
Democratic Committee,
May %, 1894.
To the Democratic Voters of the City Of
Richmond:
On Thursday. the 9th of May, all good
Democrats should go to the polls and
vote for the nominees of the party
selected at the primary held on the
18th of April, 1894. They are pledged to
do so. SO far as we know there are no
enemies in front. but to underestimate
the strength Of our adversaries is one Of
the most serious mistakes which could
be made.
The Democratic party has saved the
State from the curse Of the negro domi-
nation and Republican misrule. The
supporters of the imperishable principles
should not forget that in a community
such as ours, each successive election
is step in the onward march OF pro-
gress.
The enrolled vote of the white Demo-
cratic party in the city is 1873 1t Is
due to the public that we should poll
our full strength.
Every one who participated In the
party primary should go to his precinct
as early in the morning as possible and
deposit his ballot for the straight ticket.
The polls open at sunrise and close at
sunset The sun rises at a. NJ. and
sets at 7:14 in the evening Of May q.
1894.
Those who are endowed with the cleo
tive franchise I'm the State should ex-
ercise the right in all regular elections.
Get to the polls early II will be the last
time you will ever vote, except under the
Australian ballot law
Very respectfully,
s. S. p. PATTESON. Chairman.

Prenchcd Practical Religi Il.

At the late Council Of the Episcopal
church Of this diocese, Rev. J. W. John
son. a negro delegate said that because
he preached practical. instead Of the SEN
sational and emotional religion Of the
average preacher Of his race. he was
more or less ostracised by that race.
There was nothing in this statement at
all surprising to any Of his white hear
ers familiar with the characteristics Of
the negro, except that part of it relating
10 his habit OF preaching practical re-
lgion. for such religion has no attrlc-
lions for his race, and their preachers
mass nv il on the other side. To their
religion the decalogue is as iridescent
