varied the sameness of tho reports by in
| dulgng in fierce attack upon the white
| Republicans of the South, whom he held
| responsible for the lack of virility of the
party in that section, and charged them
| with suppresstng the negro vote for fear of
| race issues. He held that their pusillani-
nous policy had resulted in untold losses to
the party, and maintained that a few yigOr-
Gus contests and manifestation of rightful
| power by the Southern negroes would have
wholesome political effect and redeem the
Southern States from the Democracy.

BYNUM wITHDRAws.
Congressman Bynum of Indiana has come
out In card withdrawing from the
/ Speakership. In the card Mr.. Bynum says:
Il nave never pressed my candidacy. and
| consented to the use of my name only until
| 1t became evident the contest was narrowed
| down between Mills and Crisp. l shall
heartily support Mills. While many candi-
dates are strong tariff reformers, none so
prominently represents the position of the
party ON this question as Mills. He is
| known to the people as prominent figure
in the Pouse on this question. and his de-
feat would i'll great measure be accepted
| as an abandonment OF the issue of the
| tarllf, tne Issue upon which we must win i'll
1892, and there should be no semblance of
wavering or hating at this critical period.
Unless the party stands firmly and aggres-
| sively in favor of this issue. the farmers of
| the Northwest, who gave us such sweeping
victories in 1880. will become discouraged
and may abandon all hope of success
| through the organization of our party

WORLDS FAIR REPORT.
The report of the Board of Control of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition Commission
has been completed and will probably be
presented to the President tomorrow.
Chairman Palmer refused to make public its
contents. He thinks Congress will be dis
posed to appropriate an additional $5. 000. 600
which the fair managers think necessary to
properly carry out the work before it. 1t Is
believed the President, in touching upon
the Worlds Fair matters In his annual mes
sage will refer mainly to the condition of
the work on the buildings and the steps
taken tnward making the fair a success and
not making any recommendations but after
he has had time TO thoroughly examine the
reports. he will, if he thinks proper, send a
special message to Congress on the subject.
