MKINLEY ON SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN
STATES.
Mckinley, in the course OF his presenta-
ton of Cncinnatps claims, mado tho fol-
| lowing reference to the South: Was 1t not
worth while, Dir. Mckinley asked, to try
| TO carry some of the Repubhcan States OF
! the South West Virginia was just as good
| a Republican State to-day as Ohio; and II
| tho Republican party did half the work IN
West Virginia and in tennessee that 1t dld
| in Ohio and New York, both those states
would give their electoral vote for tho Re
publican candidate. Let the committee
put the coyentlon IN Cincinnati, and those
southern States would be put IN toucn
with 10. The southern Republicans would
| be encouraged. They would come to GIN
| cinnatI and take In some Of the inspl-
! ration that would be found at that great
| national convention wherever It was To be
| held. On the questions of a protective
| tariff and an honest dollar the Repubica n
party stood united, but 1t stood Just as
| united on the question of insisting that
every citizen Of the country should have
the right TO vote, and the right to haYe
his vote counted. LApplause.I =.
That was one Of the great cardinal prin
ciples Of the Republican party that should
never be forgotten; and no Republican
speech should ever ho made in any part of
| the Union that did not insist on the recog-
milton Of that constitutional right OF sui
| frage in every section and corner OF the
land.
EVANS ON TIN NEW SOUTH"
Representative Evans, of Tennessee, in
| troduced Colonel Bradley to speak tor the
| New South-tor Chattanooga. Tenn. Colo
| mel Bradley sald there were no more loyal
1 l.. than thA Ram ll lfnQna Of
| the South. They were Republicans when
| it cost something 10 be so. The loyal part
| of Tennessee-EasJ Tennessee-sent more
| soldiers into the Union army than
any corresponding area OF this
| country. After the war the Repub-
licans of tho North had forgotten their
! southern brethren IN the old Wing States
! of Kentucky and Tennessee and left them
10 work alone for their own salvation. But
| they with their own strong arms fought
| their own battles and rolled up the Repub-
| hcan strength shown by the figures. There
| was the place for Republican missionary
work. While the vote was dwindhng out
| West il was increasing in the South,
| and il such men as Mckinley and fo-
raker and Fassett and others came
down and preached Republican doc,
| trine there would be the grandest revival
! on earth. No hotel accommodations

! dated 100000 men, and with them were
| Grant and Sherman and Thomas. Let the
| convention come and the people OF Chat
| tanooga would build them q wigwam away
no on Lookout Mountain where old
| Thomas fought his battle IN the clouds.
Now there came up from the South-tTom
