SOUTHERN CLAIMS

\ telegI am from Nashville, Tenn.
dated Oct. 80, said
Ex-senator Brownlow's paper, the
Knoxville Chronicle, urges East Tenucs-
see Union men 10 vote against IiIden on
the ground that he pledges himself 10
veto their claims ii made President.
Brownlow, then, takes Mr.. Tilden at his
word and on the assumption that he will
veto these war claims il elected, advises
the Republicans OF East Tennessee to
vote against the Democratic nominee.
On the other hand, Mr.. Blaine in his
speech 20 the Republicans OF Chicago last
Saturday night asserted that Mr.. Tilden
was not sincere when he thus came pub
Iicly forward and pledged himself to veto
all bills allowing southern war claims
that il was baiI 10 catch northern votes
that Mr.. Tilden would allow southern
claims and therefore he ought not TO re-
ceiye the votes Of the loyal people OF the
North.
The fact IL, Mr.. Tllden's letter is q
stumbling block in the way OF the Re
publican party that it never expected TO
encounter; the party can neither climb
it nor go around it. And thus it stands:
a prominent spokesman OF the Republi-
| can party in the South says don't vote
Tor Sr. Tllden, because he won't allow
southern war claims" and a prominent
spokesman of the Republican party in
the North says. don't vote for Mr.. Til
den because he will allow southern W al
claims" In short, according 70 these
high priests OF the Radical party
you'll be ID if you do and you'll
be ID il you DON'T
according to these Radical high priests,
sauce for the Republican northern goose i.
not sauce for the Republican southern
gander. The gratifying part of this
whole business is that the Democracy OF
the North and South are united upon thi.
point and unqualilcdly lndorse Mr.. Til
den in the position he has taken.

A MISTAKE ruAr CANNOT RE
REPAIRED.

The Republican party has just discov.
cred that it has made mistake in its can
vass--that 1t should have made more of
its own candidate tor the presidency and
less of Mr.. Tilden. Th 'Chicl 90 Tribune
of Wednesday endeavors to recall a,ten-
ton to Mr.. Hayes by publishing his letter
OF acceptance OF the Republican nomi-
| nation, with the head lines "N hat
| HAYES savs''--''a forecast of the policy
of the new Republican administrator"
When Mr. Hayes wrote his letter of
| acceptance he did not strike the X ey note
| of the campaign. Mr.. Hayes was gently
| pushed aside and he meekly consented
| to be pushed aside. while Chandler
sud Morton and Logan laid down
the plans OF the canyass-plans
! in which Mr.. Hayes opinions as uttered
| in his letter of acceptance were as little
considered as he was. lie has had Moth
ing to do with the conduct of the cam
paign, and if the evil genius OF this coun.
try succeeds in electing him 10 The prcsi.
dencY next Tuesday, he will have as lit
tie to do with his own administration.
Every step Mr.. Hayes has not taken,
every word that he has neglected TO ut
ter since he has been before the people
as pre- sidential candidate shows that lie
has been and that he would be but a
puppet in the hands of the new Repub-
icau administration" \ single manly
utterance from Mr.. Hayes, one single
protest from his lips, one bold and vigor-
Gus denunciation of the policy of Grant
ism which the Republican leaders are so
faithfully following. might have retained
thousands in the ranks OF the Republican
party and drawn to the support OF its
candidate thousands of disaffected and
thoughtful voters in all parts OF the coun.
try. But Mr.. Hayes has not spoken; he
has been dumb as an oyster, while the
the bloody-shirt; while Republican news
papers have weighted down their col
lmns with wholesale "abuse aud vitu-
peration' Of Mr.. Tilden, contrary to
Mr. Hayes publicly expressed wish at
the outset of the campaign: while Grant
and Chandler and Taft have been
placing the whole military force of the
country where it will do the most good
where it will intimidate the largest
number of Democratic voters, and while
United States marshals are arrest
ing Democratic citizens by the ten thou
sands in Louisiana to prevent them from
voting at the election next Tuesday. At
any time within the last three months
| Mr.. Hayes might have spoken.
Tie might speak now, but he
! does not do so-he will not do So
| he dare not do so. Republi-
| can newspapers, admitting before
the campaign is ended, the mistakes of
their party leaders, may at the eleventh
hour, publish Mr.. Hayes letter OF accept
ance and call 1t ''thc policy of the new
Republican administration" but we be-
lcve they will find that it is too late
and OF no particular account at this time.
The man who wrote i. has been forgotten
pushed into the background, and it is
too late 10 bring him out and set him up
as the leader Of his party and the dictator
OF policy" less than one short week
before the election.

real reason Is, however, laid bare
namely, that the malcontent Republic
can members of the South Carolina leg
islature would have kicked in the harness
and refused to bring a needless discredit
on the state. BY appealing directly to
the president Chamberlain avoided oil
this disaster to his canvass. II the appeal
were not listened to he would be no
worse of than before but II sustained by
Federal bayonets he hoped to drive the
citizens OF the state literally into oppos-
ing camps. so that any concert Of action
between the white and negro races to pre-
vent his own reelection would be i'm
possible.
