ADDRESS FROM THE LEAGUE
The following address, issued last night,
explains itself:
To the Democratic Voters Of the City Of
Richmond:
About two months ago the Democratic
League for Good Government was or
gaDiZed. The necessity for such an or
ganization was so apparent and the OBJ
jects for which It was organized We're
so popular that thousands OF the bone
and sinew OF the community nave at
tached themselves 10 IT, The leaders IN
this movement have, at great personal
sacrifice, brought TO your attention facts
and figures which should startle every
man interested in the prosperity OF this
city Facts were developed which II was
thought wise to withhold from the public
press so unfavorable did they appear.
These leaders, asking nothing at your
hands, and without hope or reward, eX-
cept a consciousness of having done their
duty. have gone to all parts OF the CITY
Of Inn a
Designing men have charged them with
eelfshness; with being enemies 10 the
workingman. Bad men have trled 10
ridicule them. Abuse, Vituperauon, SIAN
der have been the ammunition or their
enemies. The league has met with every :
thing except argument and reason. NOT
one single line in its platform has been
attacked for no man has had the bold
ness. or. rather the audaclty, 70 puOuCS
oppose any object which Il had IN view.
EVERY MAN DO HIS DUTY;
Having with great labor secured the
figures and brought them to the attention
of the people. the league has nominated
tickets in four wards OF the city, when
will promote the objects in view, ana
which should meet with the approval OF
the greatest number OF voters IN those
wards.
Having done our duty as best we know
how, we now make a last appeal TO you;
and ask you TO do your duty. VOTE
FOR THE TICKET AS NOMINATED
BY THE LEAGUE. Lay aside personal
friendship for public, duty. Inc Wor1 mas n.s
do not elect enough TO control that we
shall positively have no voice, practlcaily.
I'm the management Of the city's anairs'
that no measure shaii ne aH HI,e t that
no man however good, VINO belongs 10 H.
shall I'LL city otficv. ,
Again this IS but the commencement OF
our work. ITO SECURE the passage OF
such laws, either State or municlpal' as
will best promote the prosperity ana
happiness OF the people at large IS one
OF the objects of this league. Think you
that any set OF men VIII continue 70 SUD
beet themselves TO the abuse that we have
met, or will continue to make the sacri-
fees that we have made, unless they are
supported by you? The gentlemen nomi-
mated are pledged 10 further tue OBJECTS
OF this orga nization, and that should be
sufficient to all who are truly IN syHpa-
thy with this movement. -, ,-,,r,
