Mr.. Champ Clark of Missouri made a
speech in the House this afternoon in favor
of suffrage in the District 1t was during
the debate on the proposition to give Ha-
wall a delegate in Congress, which Mr..
Clark favored. He said he would go fur
ther and create the District of Columbia
into a territory, with delegate in Con-
gress. He had introduced a bill in the
House for that purpose but could not get
1t reported from the committee.
But when the democrats get this House
in the next Congress-, said Mr.. Clark, II
will have a report in that bill or devil that
committee to death"

Mr.. Clark said he would like to be in
Washington when the first election for del

said. There would be 300 candidates for
the office"
Mr.. Clark added that within sight of the
dome of the Capitol there We're 20D,000 dis

have no more voice in their government
than have the savages of Africa.
He said it the saddest commentary
on free government he had ever witnessed
When he first came to Washington he had
asked why the residents of the District

was that the id niggers and the poor
whites would vote us into bankruptcy"
He said if the colored man was good
enough to vote in the ninth Missouri dis
trict, and vote against him (Mr. Clark he
was good enough to vote here and have
voice in his own government He said
that whenever the United States wanted to
make an experiment in government 1t was
tried on the poor District of Columbia, and
he was surprised that the people were not

WILL BE A LOVE FEAST
VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
AT NORFOLK NEXT WEEK.
Certainty That President Mckinley
viii he IndOrsed-Question
of Delegates.
pecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, April 6.-Most OF the
republican leaders are shaking hands with
themselves over the apparent restoration
of harmony in the party. 1t is generally
believed that the state convention to be
held at Norfolk next week will be some
thing of love feast. President Mckn-
ley's administration will be heartily and
enthusiastically indorsed and the delega-
ton will be instructed to vote for the re-
nomination of the President.
An effort will be made to instruct the
delegation to vote for Colonel James D.
Brady of Petersburg, the collector Of inter-
nal revenue for this district, for Vice Presi-
dent. Colonel Brady's friends are opposed
to this being done. The move to give the
colonel a complimentary vote originated at
the meeting of republicans at Chesterfield
Court House on Monday last ;. lie author
Of the resolution is James H. Hayes,
colored lawyer of Richmond, who has I'M
til recently been fighting the faction of the
party with which Colonel Brady is identi-
fed as a leader.
There will probably be fight over the
national committeeman. George E. Bow
den of Norfolk now holds this position.
Congressman K. A. Wise and his followers
will, no doubt, object to his reelection for
for Congress. Mr.. Bowden belongs to the
faction in control and his reelection is
practically assured.
The four persons slated for election as
delegates at-large to the Philadelphia con-
vention are Park Agnew of Alexandria, S.
Brown Allen of Augusta, James d. Brady
of Petersburg and George E. Bowden of
Norfolk.
The colored people think they should be
allowed one delegate-at-large, and they
will put up as their candidate either James
H. Hayes of Richmond or A. w. Harris OF
Dnwiddie.
There is opposition to the reelection
of Park Agnew chairman of the state
committee. The rival republican organiza-
ton, formed by Colonel William Lamb of
Norfolk, has apparently gone out of ex-
istence The late Colonel William F. Wick
ham was the last person to serve as chair
man of it.
Considerable interest Is felt as to what
action the republicans will take in refer
ence to the proposed constitutional con-
vention. 1t is generally thought resolu-
ton will be adopted, calling on the repub-
licans to vote against the proposed conven-
ton.
Some Of the best known Of the republic
can leaders will be absent. Mr.. Edmund
Waddill is now judge of the United States
district court. District Attorney Edgar AL
len and Colonel James D. Brady have been
Ill for some time, and will not be able to
attend.
