The Republican leaders are said to be
contemplating the unseating of the entire
Congressional delegation from North
Carolina in the next House. The idea
is TO let the State go without any repre-
sentation in the popular branch OF Con-
rress for the next two years as punish
ment for permitting the alleged intimida-
tion of the colored voters in that COM
imonwealth in the late election. There are
a good many hot headed Republican
statesmen who are advising the taking
of such step, but it is not believed that
when the time comes that anything of
the kind will be done. 1t will be found
that the unseating of an entire State dele
CATION is not such an easy matter of ac-
complishment as might be imagined.
Democrats, however, are not particularly
concerned over this phase of the case.
They are not anxious to restrain their
Republican friends from making votes
for the Democratic party any more than
necessary.
What the Republican leaders have had
seriously on their minds for some time
in regard to the South is the deyising of
plan by which the representation from
the Southern States in the House of
Representatives may be reduced. At pres
ent the representation is based upon the
population of the respective States. The
Republican managers hold that in view of
the fact that the negro vote Is practically
suppressed throughout the South, that it
is not fair or right to have the negroes
counted in the enumeration of inhabitants
to fix the Congressional appointments.
According to this method of reasoning the
