Southern Claimants Gall Upon Cheir-
man Carter.
The southern republican contingent, says
the New York Times, is still pounding
away upon the doors Of the Doodle vaults of
the national campaign committee. Subtle
orators from that section are pouring fairy
stories by the yard into the ears Of Chairman
Carter and Treasurer Bliss.
The Virginia delegation, through It's
spokesman, J. w. Southwark, for several
days has sung siren song to the members
| OF the national committee, setting forth
how easy 1t will be TO transfer the Old Do
| minion from the democratic to the repub-
| hcan column In November IL sufficient
funds" are supplied with which TO prosecu to
the campaign. 1t is money that these
statesmen from the south want, and to get
| It they have submitted facts and figures 70
Mr.. Carter and his colleagues which on the
surface snow beyond all perad venture that
any number Of states in the south are yearn-
ing to cast their votes for Harrison and
Reid
"But money. gentlemen OF the committee,
10 needed" say the statesmen from the
south, ITO enable US to bring out the full
and free expression Of the people and to see
that it is recorded"
Chairman Carter is evidently paying some
bulletin issued by direction of bis committee
yesterday was prefaoed with the statement
that 1.-THE voice OF southern republioanism
grows louder every day" and that ''the
gr owing strength Of the party In the south
ern states is evidenced by the visits of
southern delegations to headquarters 1"
And then Chairman Carter's bulletin goes
on TO say, 1.-The committee is paying special
heed to the southern states, and hopes, as
southern republicans believe, that the day
OF redemption is at hand"
Quotations from number of facile letter
writer's in Alabama are given relating to
the Kolo-Jones campaign, with the deduc-
ton that Alabama can surely be carried
for the republicans"-if sufficient funds are
| furnished,
The noticeable fact In all of these letters
| and speeohes from southern republicans Ia
| shat the Republican party Ia the south is a
pauper, beggar, and all IL needs to make
| IL strong and assertive to the point OF alb
solute supremacy is money.
Mr.. Southwark of Virginia furnished a
bulletin of about 1900 words purportlug to
be an exposition OF the election laws of
Virginia, which. according to his version,
were specially framed to suppress the re-
publican vote.
When the Virginia delegation had had
its inning, Tennessee came 70 the bat in the
person of Congressman John c. Houk.
who succeeded his father from the Seco ID
district of that state. 1t was in Mr.. Houk's
district that the recent mining outbreak
took place, and some Of the leaders in Mr..
Hous's strongest republican counties are
now in Jail or out on heavy bail TO answer
the charges OF murder, rioting, melting to
riot, and arson at the mines of Coal Creek
Oliver Springs. Tracy City and Inman.
What Mr.. Houk said as to republican
prospects in Tennessee, huking the alleged
prospects with Buchanan's candidacy as the
nominee Of the third party, is significant
Gov. Buchanan" he said, Twas nominated
two years ego in spite Of a very bitter OPP
position in his party but carried the state
by $1,000. He has this year declared him
self an independent candidate for gov vernon,
having been defeated by the Bourbon ee-
ment in the democratic convention. lam
satisfied that he will receive at least from
$4,000 to 5000 votes as an independent
candidate. If he should meet with mis-
fortune In his canvass and receive only
$4,000 votes, George w. Winstead, the re-
publican candidate would still be elected.
Without the aid OF Mr.. BuchAnan's friends
the republican chances Of carrying Tennes-
see would be greatly diminished
MIR. Houk, reasoning on the same hybothe-
sis, thought that g. Clay Evans republican,
would certainly be elected over Congress-
man Henry Snodgrass in the Third district.
Suodgrass' plurality two Years ago was only
about 800, but since en- Marion county,
with 500 democratic majority has been
added TO the Third district.
