SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS AssAILED.
In the afternoon the committeeman made
statements OF the condition Of the party ia
each of their states. These were generally
hopeful in tone and were received with en-
thusiasm. Ex-Gov. Pinchback of Louisi-
ana, however, varied the sameness of the
addresses somewhat by indulging in a fierce
attack upon the white republicans of the
south, whom he held to be responsible for the
lack of viriliuy of the party in that section,
and whom he charged with suppresslng the
negro vote for fear of race issues. He held
that their pusillanimous policy had resulted
in untold party losses, and maintained that
a few vigorous contests and manifestations
of their rightful power by the southern ne
groes would have a wholesome political eff
feet and redeem the southern states from
the democracy.
PLANS FOR THE CONVENTION.
An important step taken by the COM
mittee during the morning session, was the
reference to the executive committee, with
full power to act, on oil matters connected
with the preparations for the next con-
vention. The executive committee de-
cided to assume active direction of
the matter itself, and arrange for
the hall, printing of tickets, appointment
of the sergeant-at-arms and deputies, ushers
and doorkeepers for the convention. 1t will
also take charge of the preparation and
publication of the stenographic reports Of
the proceedings. Chauncey F. Meeks Of
Colorado was elected sergeant-at.arms of
the next convention.
