ambitious and American instincts and aspira-
tions of the Southern people. This step has not
been taken without dchbcration, nor until the

has so clearly prcdestined success, without
counting on a single electoral vote from any
part Of the SOUTH that this especial
effort will be seen 10 have been born
OF other motives than those OF political
necessity. The broad and generous national
views OF Air. Blaine have inspired the members
of the Republican National Committee TO make
