telegraphed to his paper as follows : .'Evi
dences have accumulated to-night that the
movement todmw th Southern Democrats
over to the Ropublican pmrty will nowibe
pressed with the utmost possible vigor. It
comes from a trustworthy jliepublican
source that it is definitely settled that a
prominent feature in the new policy of that
party will be this effort to conciliate the
South. On the other hand, . it is easy -to see
that there are many. Southern Democrats

-half way It-is not; yet .jtime to mention
narn'-s, but it may be sail that a goodly
number of prominent Southern members
i-nre niarked men already, while not a few of
i .them have come boldly out of cover. The
