to-day, and TO contrast it with the Dw
cratic plan. shall call it the plan Of H.
and Wheeler, for although l have not n
least doubt but that they will receive II
cordial support and cooperation of tkek
publican party Of the country in casIyn
out their policy, yet this plan is more e
nitely indicated and developed In their 9
celient letters of acceptance than in =
Cincinnati platform. That plan is baseaa
the belief that NO good can come of thisaa
slant sectional autagouism, and that =
Republican party might be made throuA
out the South something very different I'm
what it has been-a party of order, I
iiugality and of wisdom-if only the ~
men among the Democrats would abanda
an organization which, even with the ma
patriotic Intentions, coald effect n0thine
and exert themselves to make the Victories
party what it should be. It is proposed -
promote, by the influence Of all the lett
mate agencies of the general government
the efforts OF the people of these Southern
States to obtain for themselves the blesf
lEgs OF honest and capable local GOV
ernment.' Governor Hayes SAYS the
II he shall bs charged with u

what more could Tilden do?
VI course, when we come to the practio
part OF this business. there is but One din
