REPUBLICAN PARTY
AND THE SOUTH.

Today the Republican National
committee met in Washington and
was confronted with the question of
calling special convention for the
reorganization of the party. This re-
organization can only mean a change
in the representation of the South
trn States in the convention. as Is
suggested by the Philadelphia Fec
ord, which paper observes that the
Republican party does not exist IN
the South except for office-hodinS
purposes. The character of many OF
4hc Southern delegations has been
such as to create scandals on severai
occasions. If these Southern delega-
TORS selected by some Federal OIL
ciaf or emissary of the President, had
determined the action of conventions,
there would be very strong reason
why the representation of the South
should be reduced. 1t is preposterous
that the states which can give kc-
publican candidate no electoral votes
should select the candidate.
But it is very 2.oubtful if he
Southern delegations have ever lcter-
mined the action of the convention.
John Sherman complained of one
convention that General Algcr had
bought his colored delegates away
from him. But then, Algcr WASH t
nominated, and neither was Sherman
for that matter. The Southern dele
pations may be mercenary, but they
arc Intensely concerned about the
patronage and very eager to find out
who can carry the Northern states
and be elected, and to get into n!
column.

rather different from the conclusions
reached by Republicans in the United
States. The latter already see a
flood of English-made goods pouring
into this country, forcing our mills to
close and throwing thousands OF
workcrN out of employment. or
course, as a matter of fact, nothing
of the kind has occurred. The OIL
