Plea for State Capital.

In concluding the speaker said: 1.-The
people of the entire state should unite
heartily in making Richmond a model
capital and mo0el city. just as the peo-
pie of the entire country have united in
the splendid Improvement of Washing
ton. The value of model city as a
state capital to the Improvement of the
other cities of the state would be incal-(
culable. With such a program, thus
but briefly outlined, .eacn city in Virginia
would tend to develop its own. peculiar
excellencies. rejecting the natural add
vantages of its site and the special char
acter of its citizens, and the achievement
in city making i'll Virginia might even
surpass its achievements. notable as they
have been. in other directions
