RALEIGH, n. c., June 25.-For the first time
since the acknowledgment OF tho the white Repub
oans this State become convinced that the best
interests the country require that the negro vote
should no longer be voted In solid cOlu0n for the RepuD
lican candidates. During the past fourteen months
there have conferences OF the Republican Leaders
from all parts and it Is definitely undeistoon
that there Will be no ste Convention this year, and In
nearly all the counties there Will be no attempt at he
publican organization and the nomination OF straight
Republican tickets. The success OF tho Demo-
orats by means OF fraud, Is certain so long as
the negro vote is s0ldy Republican. nut II Republican
eaers cease to appeal to the by recital OF tue
