Wise, lof Richmond Va.,a delegate in the convention and a number ofthe fran- chise committee, stated Friday that he feared the ultimate outcome would be radical disfranchisement, “Personally, I believe we can afford to be very liberal as towhoshall vote,”* said Capi. Wise. Iam satisfied that the people in this section feel that way. The ministers of nearly every church here in Richmond have called upon me to urge that we do not go too far in barring any body from exercising the right of suffrage. James Russell Lowell wrote that it was better to give aman a ballot than to put a wrong idea in his head. [ agree with that. We must have the negroes with us. They live about us and in our houses. Why should we encouragethem to hate us: True,there aresome who shou!d not be aiowed to vote. They are the vicious negroes. We can easily ex- clude them from the ballot without any radical action, and the better class of negroes willapplaud us for doing it. Butalmost the same thing can be said of the white. There are whitemen utterly unfit to vote. _‘‘A moderate restiic.ion will be enf | tirely adequate for conditions in Vir- ginia. We do not want our State to be classed with the States to the South that have adapted stringent methods o keeping the negro from voting. It would hurt us in the opinion of the {people in the North and West, and that means that the State would be materially affected in the long run.” As the scion of an old and respected family in Virginia and as a conserva- tive andable Democrat, whose long service in the National House has broadhned his vision, Capt. Wise’- statement at this time has much sig- nificance. Political wires have been shrewdly pulled by the delegates from the biack belt to ferce some radical action upon the convention, and thus far the work has apparently heen done with success.

Wise has just received from the Director of the Census at Wash- ington a tabulated statement of the white and colored population of Vir- ginia by counties, which he expects will be valuable when the debate about suffrage is on for showing just to what extent thenegroes predom- inate in numbers, “I only received the tables this morning,’’ said Capt. Wise, ‘‘and I have not found time to ana'yze thenclosely. But Iamcon- viuced that negro voters do not pre- dominate in the counties of this State as mncb as is generally claimed.’’ Authority was granted to-day to the suffrage committee to sit during the sessions of the convention.
