cipes of representative Government capable Of
forcing them other republics with capitals in nation
nations have not found themselves mpotent to give full
tonal representation to the people of their capitals
1t will proclaim to the world people of Wash
Government the people of Rio Bueno Aires and Mexico
City Washington will cease to be the only Capital in all
unworthy to enjoy the same national as that
enjoyed
National representation will clothe the Washingtonia
with vital American privilege to which he is undenably in
equity entitled will cleanse him of the stigma and stain Of
-Americanism and curing his political impotency, will
him with a certain power
1t will relieve the Nation of the shame Of American
ism at its heart and of mpotency to cure this evil
1t will infct injury hardship upon either Nation
Capital to cOunteract these benefits.
After two years have passed Americans will repeat
this day of patriotic pride in exercising the highest
privilege and bestowed the citizens of the worlds
greatest Republic Shall election day in 1886 be permitted
today to be day of undeserved humiliation to the

United States respond vigorously to the Districts
