A PLAN TO, CAUSE THE SOUTHERN DEMO
Gratis TO AcoUIEscE IN HIS ELECTION.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Decesaber2
- COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 1.
Governor Hayes has made new move
in the Presidential game, and has made
oyertures through Stanley Matthews, Job
E. Stevenson, Murat Halsted, Dick Smith
and other Of his intimate friends, to
prominent Southerners to induce them,
and through them their section, to acqui-
esce. peaceably in his election, and to
give his administration their hearty sup
port. This movement has been on foot
for several days, but in reality only as
sumed definite shape in this city to-day,
when Col. w. H. Roberts, of the New
Orleans Times, met him with view to
arranging, if possible, the terms of the
settlement. II had been the original
plan to have General Lamar, of Missis-
sippi, meet Governor Hayes, but upon
that gentleman reaching Cincinnati and
confering with HalSted, he thought it
best to give Colonel Roberts letter to
Hayes explaining his views on the situa-
ton, and authorizing him to act in his
behalf. 1t appears that the, Southern
men bave been assured that it is the de-
sign and intention of Hayes to cut loose
from the carpet-baggers and scallawag
Republicans of the South, and also the
Grant element of the party in the North,
and to rally around him the support of
the liberal, conservative and democratic
element i'll the South. Colonel Roberts
brought letters from Job E. Stevenson to
HAYES and w. II. Groesbeck from New
Orleans, and was also strongly indorsed
by other Republicans in the South
Stanley Matthews, Halsted and others
met in conference in Cincinnati on
thanksgiving day, and the result of their
cogitation was despatch from Matthews
to Hayes, telling him that. in view of
certain contingencies, it would be e1
tremely desirable for the Governor to
conciliate the conservative and liberal
democratic element of the South by of
fering it power, place and emolu,nents in
return for its support. Halsted also fur
nished Roberts with a letter to Hayes,
indorsing him highly and commencing
his mission to his earnest attention.
This morning Colonel Roberts arrived
here and was met at the Neil House by
General Comfy, who took him to see
Governor Hayes. The trio dined at Gen.
Comly's house, and had a three hours
conference together. Hayes talked very
freely, and Informed Colonel Roberts
that he had made up his mind to cut
loose entirely from the Grantism of the
Republican party and the carpet-baggers
and scallawags with which it is infested,
and look for his support to the better
class and more patriotic of its members
and to the conservative and liberal dem
ocratic masses. He clearly indicated
that he had no sympathy with the Kel-
loggs or Chamberlains of the South, and
directly stated that he thought it would
be for the interest of South Carolina and
Louisiana and the whole country if
Hampton was declared Governor of the
former State. and Nichols, Of Louisiana.
He declared that he was perfectly willing
to divide the official patronage of the
Southern States among the conservative
Republicans and liberal Democrats, aud
looked to them for that hearty support
that all honest men should be willing to
accord to any honest administration.
After this expression of sentiment by
the Governor, the following plan of ope-
rations was agreed upon: Col. Roberts
will start for Washington tonight, and
upon his arrival there he will lay the
matter before General Lamar and eau
Gus of the Southern members of Congress,
who will take the matter into considera-
ton. Then Lamar and General Wade
Hampton will come to Ohio and visit
Governor Hayes-in person, and definitely
arrange the terms of the agreement: 1t
is thought that there will be but little
trouble in carrying this arrangement into
effect, for the Northern Republicans will
be so eager to get their own nominations
confirmed by the Senate that they will
force that body into acquiescing into the
confirmation Of the Southern conserva-
tives and liberal democrats. The South
ern people, it is believed, can be entirely
controlled by Lamar and Hampton, as
they will see that, as they cannot have
Tilden for President, the next best thing
for them to do is to make terms with
Hayes that will enable them to rid them.
themselves of the carpet-baggers, and
place the control of their State govern
ments in their own hands. William NJ.
CORY and Theodore Cook, of your city,
accompanied General Lamar to Wash.
ington in the interest of this plan, and
many other prominent democrats are
understood ODE in sympathy with it.
