gressman j. IL. Sypher
ID. D. Loring, of Massachusetts,, offered a
resolution that it was the sense of the meet.
ing that the southern states should be assisted
whenever such assistance was demanded, and
that the campaign should not be abandoned
in any southern state. This was discussed at
some length and finally adopted.
EX-GOVERNOR PINcHnACK,
of Louisiana, spoke of the colored Republi-
cans ofthat state, and said they bad received
no encouragement, and also that they had
never been taught to exercise their manhood.
They had been told by their representatives,
both white and black, that they must not as
sert their manhood, as it was unsafe for them
to do so. The danger to them, they were
told, if they did this, was that they would
grace tree at the end ola rope.
HON. JANEs G. BLAINE
stated that what had been said so far about
abandoning the south had been said BY
southern men and not by single northern
man. The first work, he thought, was to try
to carry Maine. She could take care of her
self. They should also put all their forces
into lndiada.
Senator Logan, of Illinois, and Mr.. Cough,
of West Virginia, then made brief addresses.
Ben Harrison, of lndans, said there was not
y local teud to be settled anywhere in Indi-
ana in the ranks Of the Republican party.
He declared they would have large acces-
sion there from the Greenbaek party.
SECRETARY SHERMAN,
who was then called on, said his Heart beat
for all these men who had carried their ban
ners through the southern states, be they
white or black. When the Republicans sent
money and aid to Indiana they also did good
to the southern states. We have our UPS
and downs, said he, in the Republican party,
but now the sun of Austerlitz had arisen.
He referred to the stagnation In
business four years ago, but, said he, we
gained Republican victory. The Republi-
can party had accomplished in four years all
that it had promised, and now came before
the people with a revival of these business
interests, due to its good management. He
would not give to these southern people in
the districts they represented any more aid
and money. He would not waste m oney for
he knew it would do no good.
THURLow WEED.
Thurlow Weed made brief address, in
which he dwelt upon the importance of car
rying the preliminary state elections Since
these were the first expression ofpublic senti-
ment, every effort, he thought, should be
made to carry the state elections in Maine
and Indiana. The only question about the
result Is New York, he said, is, whether We
shall be able to have an honest vote and an
honest count, and in this respect our chances
are greatly improved by having non parti-
san board of police in which the counting Of
votes lies. After brief addresses bv Messrs
Freeman. of Tennessee, and Jones, of Illi-
nois, the conference adjourned sine die.
Neither General Garfield nor General Arthur
was present.
