APPEALS FROM SOUTHERN MEMBERS.
The Southern members of the committee
seized the opportunity to speak regarding the'con-
| dIton of the Republican party in their several
| States. They all earnestly asked that the
mlttee should give aid TO the Southern
Republicans. They represented that such
aid in the form of speakers would
be amply rewarded by success in carrying States
and Congressional districts Their speeches we're

in it. They are presidents of banks, railroad drec
for hucin of oil Orado far
mers and mechanics. The effort of of the
Democrats to establish tine system of ostraciz
ing Republicans prevails in some of the
Southern States has sgnally failed. We have a
very good chance Of carrying one-half the Congress

carried three of them two years ago, but the DEM
ocrats cheated out of the lid on account of d.
legged informatIeS They cannot do this again.
We propose to make it an aggressive campaign. We
want speakers from the North to come down there
and instruct the people the political issues of the
day. We believe show that the Solid
South does not exist. Certainly we believe that
North Carolina will go Republican if proper effort
is made. Our organization thorough"

lote. He also asked for Northern speakers, and Al
aid that the Republicans ought TO bo ashamed OF u

Mr. Dorsey thought that addresses by Northern
peakers in Arkansas would give the Republicans
ample opportunity to secure some one of the Con-
