GOV. HAYES.
He Thinks He Has Been Fairly Elected
and will be Hnaugurated.

NEW YORK, Dec ia Cincinnati special
to the New York Herald says Gov. Hayes has,
during his stay in this city since Saturday, as
during the entire campaign, been excessively
guarded in his statements for the public regard
ing his opinion of the situation or the final
result of the present complications. he has
been constantly besieged by the representatives
of the city press for an expression OF opinion or
sentiment, but has as constantly refused to ap-
pear either in an interview or in an apparent
effort to give public expression of opinion or
attempt to influence public sentiment. Yester-
day, however, he made some statement in pr
constituting the first expression of opinion
given by him, or at least the first to reach the
public, are of much value. In the conversa-
ton alluded to, which centred upon the politi-
Cal situation and the numerous complications
which had arisen since the 7th of November,
Gov. Hayes said: Il have studied the matter
very carefully in all its phases and bearings,
and have obtained the opinion of the best con-
stitutiopal lawyers of the country, and am
fully settled in the opinion that am honestly
elected President of the United States, and
fully expect to be inaugurated as such.'' The
statement was made with much thoughtful
emphasis, and show that conclusion had been
fully arrived at. and was based upon honest
conviction and honest and conclusive investi-
cation and reasoning. He is receiving large
Gratis throughout the South congratulatipg him
upon his election and expressing renewed hopes
for reconstruction and complete reconciliation.
The party leaders here are greatly encouraged
regarding the prospects of satisfactory adj
justment of the difficulties of the campaign,
and also of the greatly improved state of feel
ing in the South.

same privileges and exemptions with respect to
taxation as other personal property.
