THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.


man with judgment will for u moment
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of voting the
ticket headed by Col. Henry w. An
derson. His attitude and that Of his
associates has done more to arouse
race feeling In this State than any
thing which has taken place since the
Civil War. He has persistently kept
the race issue in the foreground,
when 40; a matter of fact this issue was
eliminated in this State by the Demo.
Gratis themselves. The ministers III
Virginia, who arc tho recognized lead
ers of their flocks will exert much
influence in this campaign and no
doubt will direct their congregations
Just what to do.
In order to maintain their selr-re-
spect, the Republican people Of this
commonwealth have Nominated
strong ticket and all Of the men nom;-
mated are we'll known, being RESPONSE
bic citizens in their respective locali-
ties. AS for the head of the ticket
John Mitchell, Jr, modesty for, ids
any comment. He has been befors tho
people for more than a quarter Of Il
century and his record will serve to
emphasize his standing In this com.
munity. Theodore Nash of Portsmouth

couCurred in by Republicans from 9TH
er sections of the State. He Is ca,rli

j. Thomas Newsome is q brIllian.
attorney from the same section and
his record as II lawyer ranks with tho
foremost in this State regardless or
race or color. He is resident Of New

Arthur T., Brickhouse comes from
across the Chesapeake. The represeu-
tatives from that section wanted him
and he was nominated for the position
of Commissioner Of Agriculture and
immigration. This ends the ticket 90
far as the State is concerned. Local
communities will have their candidates
We urge upon every citizen in the
State regardless Of race or color, poll
tics or religion to support the candi-
dates named by these representatives
of the Republican Party in conven-
ton assembled. The eyes of the peo-
pic OF tire outside States are upon the
people OF Virginia.
Tho launching Of n white Republic
can Party in Virginia and the open
notification to American citizens of
color that ihav were not only not
wanted, but w1:id not o. pelm,tle |
TO participate in any OF i'll" leliber:,t.
ions OF the Republican Party brought
about the anol.ialous condition, which
demanded that Republican ticket be
nominated. The call issued for this
convention did not bar white citizens
from participating in the Republican
Convention and their names were
eligible for nomination ups1 the par
ty ticket. The head of this ticket de-
clned to run upon any other platform,
insisting that black ticket, launched
as such was as Objectionable as n
white ticket launched as such.
1t was as legitimate and as proper
to nominate all colored men upon the
same ticket provided no restrictive
rules as to color were laid down as it
would be to nominate al white candi-
dates upon a Republican ticket. AS q
matter Of fa"t conventions in which
both white and colorcd citizens parti-
cipated have for the last forty years
or more been nominating all white
men on the Republican ticket and the
colored citizens have Loyalty support
Ell these white men. It Is no more
than right that the old line white Re-
publicans should emphasize thor op-
position to Col. Henry w. Anderson
