of this Commonwealth to have enacted
such a constitutional provision as would
take away from the negro the right to

the white men of the Commonwealth
their right of suffrage. The long delay

The speech of MIR. Ellyson was often
punctuated with applause, and when the

bowed his thanks to the audience. there
was prolonged cheering. Mr. Goode COM
menced his magnificent address by re-
turning his thanks in a graceful manner
to the committee for the invitation to ad-
dress the people of Richmond, an0 then
he launched into an able discussion of
the issues involved in the canvass.
The old man leaned upon his cane with
one hand and made graceful gestures
with the other as he pointed out the way
to Democratic triumph in November, and
appealed to his hearers not to desert the
party Of the people. Mr.. Goode laid
great stress upon the Importance of the
present election, and said in it were in
voIved the welfare and prosperity of all
the people. He earnestly appealed TO the
people to take active interest in the at
fairs of government, because, he said, 1t
was a business matter in which every
good citizen had an abiding interest he
then made a comparison OF the parties
and candidates that stood before the
people. He referred to the Prohibition

Mr. Goode declared that the Democratic
party was the great bulwark OF human

its giories and great men of the past. He
characterized the Republican party as
party of bosses, and said it stood Tor
those doctrines which tended to oppress
rather than to uplift the plain people.
