Anderson Speaks at Gloucester c. E.

Hon. VIM. 4. Anderson, Democratic
nominee for Attorney General, spoke at
Gloucester G II. Monday. His addr -
was pronounced the finest heard in that
neighborhood since the days OF Beverly
Douglas.
Referring to suffrage Mr. Anderson said
the negro is incapable OF self-goverDment
and retrogrades when lett TO himself as
in Haiti. Jefferson was in favor of grad
ual emancipation and foretold the events
that would follow unless a wise course
were pursued 1t took our race ten cen
turtles to become capable of seli-goyei Il
ment, while the negro is still but few
centuries removed from barbarism.
Major Anderson was very clear on the
question of taxation. He showed that il
what il called invisible property" were
properly taxed the burden would be lit
ed in a great NEE sure from real estate.
The speaker showed the tremendous
saving to the people that would result
from quadrennial elections and by the
substitution Of thin cy-fve judges for the
1870 now in the State.
Messrs J. Boyd Sears, George Y. Hun
ley, and J. ~ Stubs also spoke.

FROM the present outlook the Con-
stitutional Convention may be in
session until Christmas. As the regu-
lar session Of the Legislature begins
the first of December quite complex
situation will arise in some legisla-
tive districts. Among the members
of the Convention there are not
a few Senator's who hold over
and some, with numbers of men,
bers of the House of Delegates,
who have been nominated and
will probably be elected next month.
How they are to serve acceptably in
both bodies it is hard to foresee.
The question was raised last spring
about choosing delegates tOthe Con
vention, but the general opinion was
that it would in no way conflict with
the Legislature if members or pro-
spective members of that body were
sent to the Constitutional COnven-
ton. The suggestion was advanced
that the Constitutional Convention
would not hold over 60 or 90 days.
Four months has elapsed and it does
not appear that they are yet hall
through.

IT Is bad enough TO swindle negroes
and Republicans but for that there is a
pretext if not an excuse When il comes
TO swindling white Democrats in their
own primary il is time TO call a halt and
to call it Observation-Disclosures News.
The News touches very OPPORTUNITY
upon a matter that is of great con-
Germ throughout Virginia. The
Democratic party is rent in twain in
many places because of the bad cleo
ton system prevailing. There would
be no faction in some places but for
the fight over electoral boards and
judges OF election. \ MINORITY faction
may sometimes control majority
of the electoral board, in which case,
when a primary or convention does
not 90 to suit them, they split of,
depending on their Judges of election
to put their boiling ticket through.
Scratch the surface of most OF the
factiOnal fights and the chances are
that YOU will find this the underlying
cause. For the sake of party har-
mony, for the sake Of peace in COM
munities, and above all for the sake
OF what little honor is still left the
election manipulators can not the
Constitutional Convention do some
thing to stop this cheating OF Demo-
Gratis by Democrats, OF white man by
white man?
