CHAIRMAN DAwsoN's APPEAL.
Chairman Marion l.. Dawson. OF the
CITY democratic Committee, has issued
me Following address to the voters of the
city:
To-day is the day Of election. The
reports which have just been received by
me Indicate that, though the so-called
honest Election party has not made
any public showing Of their work. they
time and are to-day prepared TO poll
their full strength. Let us not be de-
ccived by their silence. but let every
man 20 TO the polls early and do his
duty by his party: Every Democratic vote
IN the city should be pOlled. We do not,
Of course, look for defeat. but we should
take no chances i'm matter so serious.
Inc usual Democratic majority ought by
an means 10 be given. Let us act as if
there were real danger and thus be
prepared for any emergency which the
day may bring forth.
The honest-eectiOn role Is indeed a
new one for the Republican party i'm this
State 10 play. The very name of their
ticket seeks to cast a stigma on the
methods which have been used and ap-
proved by the ruling party in this city
and should be resented by every self
respecting citizen, l do not believe that
any democrat Will prove recreant TO his
DUTY, false to his patriotism, and untrue
10 MS fellOW-men by being led off after
this strange god. Yet there are some who
may overlook the necessity for individual
eNertlOn, and il is to these that | take
the liberty Of urgently appealing.
THE @. o. p. BAD RECORD.
The record of the party which has
now marshalled its clansmen under the
banner OF sO-called 'hOnest-clectiOn"
methods Is too well known for me TO re-
view IT, It's record in the South. certain
~, Is stained and blackened with every
political crime that could be conceived OF
by the human mind. The first bugle notes
which its leaders blew were down with
STATE rights ana the prosperity OF the
South. From its very inception the spirit
Of oppression has dominated IT, Ii has
sOwn broadcast the seeds OF corruption.
1t has openly and unhesitatingly bought
and sold elections. it has layishcd public
funds on private individuals il has bar
tered public trust for private advance
ment. and there remains 10 be seen one
principle which il has advocated that has
been either to the interest OF the South
or TO the great mass OF American people.
and he VINO seeks for the jewel of hon
esty I'm its Dast or present methods Will
be at a greater disadvantage than he who
sought TO find the needle in the hay
stack.
For this party to be now claiming for
honesty and processing friendship for non
est election laws is an absurdity that
almost approaches the ludicrous. There
are some portions of the State which are
supposed 10 be I'm some danger; there
are others which are very close. Let the
Democracy OF Richmond however speak
with no uncertain voice and bury this
dishonest party. which has sought TO
temporarily assume the garb OF honesty
for the purpose Of deceving the people
so deep that they will fail to hear the
resurrection when tile last trump is
sounded. MARION L. DAWSON
