SOUTHERN REPUBLICANlSM.
The National Republican Committee IS
% meet in this city next month TO con-
,idcr. so II Is stated, the question OF
,outhcrn representation in next year
convention There has been strong
,ndercurrent OF sentiment among the
,orthern Republicans that the southern
brethren should be reduced In NUMBERS
and this is causing loud protest down
n Dixie. Congressman Tom Settle or
North Carolina. has had good deal 10
say I'm opposition TO the pro-
,osi,ion. and Il is understood
ae will be on hand when the committee
meets to enter protest. IL Is said
that Clarkson, OF Iowa, and others. who
fear that Reed and Harrison will get the
bulk of the delegates from the South, Is
partly responsible for the agitation.
The general impression now is that the
committee will hardly be able to change
the plan, but at the same time II is con
.eded the contest will be an animated
,ne. and many of the Virginia and North
Carolina Republican leaders are expect
ID to be on hand when the national COM
Ulttee meets.
A Virginia Republican is of the opinion
from what he can hear that powerful
combination has already been formed to
have the national convention meet next
rear at Chicago.
COLONEL MCAULL.
Colonel r. H. McCaull, who ran for
Congress last year in the Eighth Virginia
District against Representative Meredith,
spends large portion of his time in
Washington. where he is engaged in
business. He also runs a farm in the
northern end of Culpeper county. His
friends do not seem 10 MINK ne VIII uaD-
bic In politics next year, when another
congressional election occurs-at least,
they do not believe he will care to tackle
ihe Democratic nominee in a district good
'or 1900 Democratic majority. However,
they are OF the opinion Colonel McCaull
will want to go to the National Republi-
Fan Convention as a delegate. The Re-
nubIicans have very little material in the
Eighth District from which to select con-
sressional timber.
