NEw York, Sept. 2l.-Charman Car
ter and Secretary McComas received q
big batch OF letters in their mail at Re
publican national headquarters yester-
day from southern Republicans. all OF
them presenting strong reasons for pos
slbIe Republican success in what have
heretofore been Democratic strong
holds. The letters almost invariably
ask the national committee to send good
stump speakers into Virginia, North
Carolina, Arkansas and Alabama. AS a
rule the writers request that their
names be not made public for local rca-
sons. Many of the writer's say that
they have heretofore voted the Demo
Democratic ticket. but are now in favor
OF the Republican policy. Most of them
agree in saving that the Republican
electoral ticket would bechosen in their
state if free vote and fair count were
possible.
ENCOURAGEMENT FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
One Of these letters from North Caro-
lima, addressed 10 Chairman Carter,
discusses. the recent state convention
and says:
The opposition to a state ticket ma
terialized only TO the amount Of six
counties out OF the ninety-six repre-
sented. A full ticket was nominated,
and our most bitter enemies admit that
no better ticket could have been named
The very names OF our candidates have
given new lie and vigor 10 the rank
aud file OF our party, and there is no
doubt OF our chances for success being
better than they have. been for many
years. We are almost sure Of four Con-
gressional districts. and q favorable re-
suit in two others would not be sur.
prising. The enthusiasm, and zeal
shown in the white counties" are es-
peciaily great, and these seem to fur
nish.us the lighting ground.
Secretary McComas, who is giving
special attention to this correspondence
with southern Republicans, and who is
cooperating with Colonel Hahn in the
assignment OF speakers south OF Mason
and Dixon's line, has gone TO Washing
ton to attend the Grand Army Encamp-
ment. His desk is temporarily occu-
pied by Oharies a: baii, Oh new iotA,
