In the afternoon committee Nor
made statements Of the condition Of
the party in each of their States. These
were generally hopeful in tone and
were received with enthusiasm. Ex-
Governor Pinchback, of Louisiana,
however, varied the sameness of the
addresses somewhat by indulging in a
fierce attack upon the white Republi-
cans of the South, whom he held to be
responsible for the lack of virility of
party in that section and whom he
charged with suppressing tho negro
vote for fear of race issues.
He held that their pusillanimous
policy had resulted in the untold party
losses, and men tioned that a few vigor-
GUS contests and manifestations of their
rightful power by Southern negroes
would have wholesome political effect
and redeem the Southern States from
Democracy.
