Commonwealth's Attorney of
Southsi<3e City Urges People
to Vote Against Union.
NOT FOR TIIEIK BENEFIT
Attorney Declares Result Would be
Hurtful and Not Helpful
to City.
iVfci.ii,' self-government for the
protection of the home. Mr. Charles
1* Page. Commonwealth's Attorney,
of Manchester, on Monday night ad
dressed an audience of over three
hundred people at the courthouse,
when for three hours he discussed
the consolidation ordinance as adopt
ed by the councils of Richmond and
Manchester, and upon wheih the cit
izens of the smaller city will vote
April 4. ■
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Manchester Anti-Con
1 Holid&tton Club, and was one of the
! lUFost enthusiastic yet seen in the
: Southside. Though there were many
pro-consol id atlontsts present to iiear
the argument against the. union of
the two cities separted only by the
James river, they attempted no de
monstration. Hut the followers of
the ‘antis" were decidedly In evi
dence, and the remarks of Mr. I’uge
were frequently interrupted with vo
. 1 frl_Q.ua applause whe.ne.va-r to,
a strong against the merger.
The big crowd whs orderly through
out. though many became restless to
wards the end on account of the
great length at which the ex-t’ity
Attorney spoke.
To substantiate his arguments Mr.
Page frequently referred to the or
dinance, the Richmond city code and
clippings from newspapers, quoting
leaders of the movement as far back
as four years.
No Huttons in Irhlcnco.
The meeting was opened by Mr. Ji,
Mil Robertson, president of the Anti
t’onsolldatton flub, who introduced
Mr. tJ. IV Eggleston, who in turn
presented the principal speaker of
the evening. Mr. Page. Mr. Eggles
ton said it was his first appearunee,
politically. In the city. "I don't see
a button here," declared Mr. Eggles
ton. referring to the consolidation
buttons that arc now being worn by
the annexationists," but on last Sun
day 1 saw five of them pliined on the
coat of a little nigger. Gentlemen,
we are here to present to you facts
that will prevent the taking a wav
from the fair name of Manchester its
rightful standard and to see to It that
the laridsharks do not gobble all of
us up. The name of Eggleston is a
familiar one in Virginia. It lias been
associated with the wars of all the
times, and It has been on the right
side. It has never worn a collar,
and especially not a collar with a
button on It."
Mr. Eggleston touched lightly upon
the “fair deal” the Richmond papers
were giving the men who oppose con
solidation. "With one exception,” he
declared, “we have been shamefully
treated by papers that should be fair.
The speaker said ho was astonished
that a minister should go away from
the meeting last week and say that the
cheering whs from the boys in the au
dience "I admit that, but say that
those hoys are the voters of Manches
ter. and that when the ballots are
counted on the 4th of April another
loud cheer will go up from the hoys be
cause It will he known that they have
won their battle for self-government."
His ViSW Of tho Press.
Mr. Image's opening remarks were
questions, slowly put. to an audience
of three hundred men. Me asked If
anyone had read In the Richmond
morning paper an aeount of the meet
ing last Thursday night. There were
loud calls of “no” from all over the
room. The speaker asked them why
they hadn't, and the answer came back
with even a louder yell, “They printed
nothing about our meeting."
Mr. Page dealt with the press In a
conservative way. He declared that
the editorial page of a paper ought to
tie Its own. but that Us news columns
should bo unbiased. "No man," ex
claimed Mr. Page, "has a greater re
spect for the press than I have, when
the iiress stands for that which It
should: hut when Its news columns
suppresses news, gives biased reports,
it 1* descending from the high plane it
should occupy. Our cause may not
command the support of all, but it de
mands the respect of all
"It is a question of the right of the
people to govern—home rule! Next In
importance to your home is the right
to govern vour home"'
Will Not Satisfy Them.
These points Mr. Page laid great
stress upon. Continuing, he said:
"Will Richmond satisfy us as a part 1
of that ettv? You will be hue one;
ward; but here you can control your
own affairs (applause, and what you I
can't get from Manchester men you 1
can never hope to get front Richmond
men.
"They ti ll us that Richmond can run 1

ter expenditures exceeded her receipts I

i by half a million dollars? Tell us
about economy! (Laughter.!
"We are asked to surrender ottr
home government—everything! They
tell us for progress. Progress of what
kfnd? Manchester since 1880 has tre
i tiled her population, w hlle Richmond
has Increased only to per cent.
! "There_has not_been a_felony
[committed In our city In the past five
months. Only one grand Jury hua
been summoned aline October, that
! was in January and It returned not a
single true bill. There were nine
thousand arrests In Richmond last
year, according to the recent mes
sage of Mayor Richardson.
"Young men. listen to me. I have
i lived to see Manchester four per ren*.
bonds sell at par.” To this and other
remarks relating to the bonded In
debtedness of the city the speaker
J devoted considerable time.
Larger Peix-emtoge For Streets.
lie next declared that the streets
appropriations of a city marked Its
resources, because, he pointed out.
streets get only what is left over from
other appropriations lie said:
"Last year Manchester put $10,000
on her streets and still has a balance
In the city treasury of $4,800. This
was a street appropriation of 11 per
cent. Richmond has appropriated
only 4 per cent, for these improve
ments.
"Are we shopping progress? No!
We are trying to keep others from
blocking it.
"Richmond's bond limit is only
$118,184. while that of Manchester,
which is only one-tenth the size of
Richmond, is $180,0“". Oar bonded
limit will increase $30,000 in reve
nues with the assessments for 1310
(applause).
“Departments In Richmond are
clamoring for appropriations and all
departments arc suffering. In that
city there are fifty or sixty miles of
unpaved streets.”
Not Able to Help,
Here the speaker referred to cuts
which were made in most of the ap
propriations asked for by the muni
cipal departments of the larger city.
He then exclaimed:
"Tf Manchester is In need Is Rich
mond the proper place for her to go
to for help? (No! No!)
“We have great possibilities as a
manufacturing center. Richmond
confesses that as one reason why she
wants us. \\> have unexcelled rail
road facilities!; we Ivavw water power
In abundance, and we have graded
taxes, which bound to induce manu
factures Fifteen have come here in
the past five years.
“We have a big future as a tobac
co market. T don't dislike small
things; there are rnanv warehouses
here, and where the warehouses go
the factories will follow, l am no
prophet, hut you. my fellow citizens,
mark my prediction; In flye years
we will have a tobacco exchange In
Manchester.
Would Put Taxes Up.
"Richmond is now bulling our
real estate market Options such as
are now being granted will give our
property fictitious values, which send
up your assessments to fancy fig
ures, and send up taxes. And who
will profit? The home owner and
renter wilt suffer.
"The building code of Richmond
adds to the actual cost of construc
tion from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent.
"The sewer tux of Richmond is an
other burden we can expect In the
event of annexation. It Is $1.50 per
foot.”
At this point someone in the aud
ience called out “Only $1." Mr.
Page produced the city code rtf Rich
mond and substantiated hts state
ment. much to the delight of his
followers.
Touching on the annexation con
tract. Mr. Page said:
"It limits many and vital safe
guards for the protection of our peo
ple. We have been criticised for
doubting Richmond’s 'good faith.'

; Third w^rd, ami *' C. Jones, of the
| consolidation committee, will address
‘ the Third ward voters Thursday night
! at a meeting to he held at 8 o’clock
j in tho Masonic Temple. An In vita
j lion to he present is extended to ail
Interested In this now vital topic,
! whether for or against It.
; Tho weekly meeting of the Man
| cheater Consolidation Club will be
j held Friday night in Fraternal Hall.
Several prominent men of Richmond
have been asked to be present to
make addresses In behalf of becom
ing Washington ward of the capital
city. Several big meetings are being
arranged by the pro-consolidationists |
to take place next week.
When day dawned Tuesday In
Manchester there was revealed to the
gaze of citizens passing Seventh and
Ferry streets a huge, gayly painteu
sign urging the people to vote for
annexation. Jn the center appeared i
the seal of the city of Richmond, !
jointed by a medallion displaying a ;
likeness of George Washington, sym- !
b(|!le of the proposed Washington
ward. It bore In huge white let
ters against a black background the
following: "General city improve
ment; lower taxes; the welfare of
the people Is the supreme law; vote
for annexation.”
This appeal to the voters of Man
chester has beel placed on top of a
small building In Seventh street fac
ing Perry.
Though the consolidatlonlsts have
been busy exploiting their cause, the j
anti-annexatlonlsts have been by no j
means Idle. A closely printed book- I
let of fourteen pages with strong ar
guments against the union of, Rich
mond and Manchester has mado Its
appearance. It is entitled: “Consoli
dation— Us True Inwardness Expos
ed—A Snare and Delusion for the
Citizen.”
This pamphlet, which Is signed by
the Manchester Anti-Consolidation
League, gives facts and figures to
substantiate Its arguments against the
union.
At present Indications are that the
vote polled on April 4 will be close.
It will unquestionably be a fight to
the finish, with feeling becoming more
Intense each day.
Move U> Quash Order.
H. J. Schwartz and others will
move Judge Wells in the Corpora

Leslie Garber, an old offender, was i
again In the police court Monday ;
morning, arraigned on a charge, of !
stealing a horse from Bunion Duna- I
van. Mayor Maurice gave Garber six |
months on the roau, but the accused :
pleaded to be let off, saying that he i
would leave the city, never to return.
This the mayor agreed to, with the
provision that If he ever saw Garber !
again he would send him up for i
