URGING RECOGNITION OF THE INDEPENDENT
REPUBLICANs.
find many white men sympathizing with the
principles Of the Republican party, and looking to
their for the development and prosperity of
their State, and expressing discomfort and disgust
with the present Democratic Government and revolt
against the methods by which 1t is kept in power
that believe the Independent party bring tO It's
support q very large portion Of the white voters OF
the state The coIored people will, believe, gen
orally rally to the standard of the independent
party when they that It is In harmony with the
National Republican party and the Nations Admins
trauon. and fully recognized by them.
am satisfied that the true course for the National
Republican Committee and Of the Rational Admins
trston is to recognize fsvorably the Independent
party. believe 1t is beyond question that, II the
fnde pendent movement Is recognized fully, and
fsined and assisted by the National Republican
party, several Republican members Of Congress can
Sc returned from that State at the next election.
