Test.
Richmond, March, 11-Senator Daniel
addressed the suffrage conference today
in favor of the Glass plan, which is a
modification of the minority report
prepared by the Senator. He spoke
for three hours without break or in
terruption, except for the frequent ap-
plause given him.
A feature OF Senator Daniels speech
was his earnest declaration that he
would not support any plan that dis
franchises any white man, unless he had
los. his right to vote through crime.
SENATOR DANIELS SPEECH.
The Senator said if it were not for
the conditions brought about by the
presence OF large number of negroes
in certain portions Of Virginia, he
would never consent to any proposition
Wi h would tend to disfranchise a
single citizen Of Virginia, except for
crime and other legal disabilities. The
cllored man was not born to suffrage.
He did not achieve il. 1t was thrust upon
him and the ballot pinned upon him
with q bayonet He had the victorious
army OF the United States to back him,
and representing over 100000 sol
diers, flushed with victory, to escort
hin to the polls.
The speaker recounted the powerful
political organization into which the
coIored men were formed by these in
fiuences and reigning corruption and
decentralization which followed the
South. He mentioned these matters

voters and increased the white popu-
!ation by new voters coming in. There
we're undoubtedly sections OF the Stat.
in which the colored voter was yet
menace to good government, and it
was to that condition which solutions
OF the problem must be applied
Senator Daniel, coming to discus
sion of the understanding clause, said
he was against adopting the majority
report and he believed public opinion
was overwhelming on his side. The
permanent understanding clause of the
majority report was two broad and
sweeping in its nature and was not
adapted TO the constituency to whom it
was TO be administered 1t would give
rise to endless corruption, fraud and
decentralization which would Increase as
MUST STAND THE TEST
He was reluctant to recommend any
kind of an understanding clause, but it
was necessary to have a temporary fea-
ture of that nature, TO prevent disqual-
flying illiterate white men of the present
generation from exercising the right of
free men, the right of the ballot. 1t
was distasteful TO him to have TO sign
his name to any measure that would
make any kind OF fraud possible in
the administration of law, but
he had no other choice OF
weapons with which to fight to
maintain the integrity of the white
race and at the same time fulfill solemn
party pledges He hoped all critics OF
of permanent, understanding
clause would remember this
that it was the only legal efficienl ex.
pedient that would accomplish the enc
sought. 1t was the only expedient
which had been passed upon by tn,
Supreme Court of the United States
and it has said in the Williams case
from Mississippi that it was am hones
and justifiable expedient if honestl,
administered.
The Senator declared the grandfathel
clause to be unconstitutional, discuss

TRIBUTE TO VETERANS.

In conclusion the Senator paid. an
eloquent tribute TO the valor and pa
triotism Of the Southern people since
the war, and said it even surpassed
their heroic deeds during that terrible
struggle and implorcd the convention
not to enact an ordinance that would
wound the sensibilities and long suffer
ing friends.
A vote was reached on the property
qualification at the afternoon session.
after protracted debate, and that
feature was eliminated from future
discussion by the decisive vote Of 32 to
20 against it.

sion of an acetylene gas machine in
the basement Of Charles ii. Lichty's
music house, No. GIL Penn street,

number Of other properties. For
tunately few persons were passing at
that time and at this hour It is not
known whether any persol was in
jured.
The Lichty Music house was a
four story creature, and for several
years haa been illuminated by acety-
lene, Lichty being tho agent FOR the
gas mOchines ia this part of the
State. About year ago a machine
exploded in his residence, on Frank
lin street, but this was satisfactorily
explained.
To night explosion completely de
troyed the Lichty building, the fours
floors and roof being blown into the
street. The front of the ROLAND um-
brella store aud factoay. No. $50

twenty years member Of the House

fenced in fact, that his opponent, Col.
Cameron, refused to take his candidacy
seriously, and as a consequence lost in
the race, largely through over conf
dence. When Colonel Cameron realized
that he had been defeated by the school
teacher he felt so piqued and humiliat-
ed that he declined to serve out his term.
