"Srr," was tue reply, ''it is true. Dur

the tact that the administration was not a
friendly one to the Southern Republicans,

Rather coldIy, and the colOred sppli-

chance The President told An Alabama
delegation which called upon him, on Sat

He seems to have his own ideas about the
situation in the South, and especially
about the independent movement, and
does not care to bear anything further
alb. ut it or any arguments contrary to his
present views. 1t il very evident, think,
that he wants to put the party on au en-
tirely new basis in the South. In Ala
bama and South Carolina and Virginia
there seems to be a new movement and he
is waiting its developments. The move
ment seems stronger in Alabama than
elsewhere. as the new party there repre-
sen;s men largely OF wealth, recognized
standing and intelligence, but in South
Carolina it is different In Virginia the
division is between Wise and Malone, and
the President seems to favor the former,
and if this is the care Malone certainly
will not stand it. -
