Ex-Governor Lewis, of Alabama, elected
Governor by the Republicans in 1872,
and defeated by Houston in the election
of 1874, In favor of committing the ad-
ministration of the General Government
to Tllden and Hendricks, declares retor-
nation in the policy of reconstruction as
much needed as in many other branches
of the government, and that the
present canvass ,of the Democratic
party is plan that entities
it to be deemed naLional. The
Republican theory Of reconstruct
tion by the military force and tenor
of power proved failure, while
southern birth and residence during the
war seems TO furnish sufficient reason
for the exclusion Of the men Of national
sympathes participating IN the admin
istration of the government. He sees
nothing in the future Of the Republican
party which promises any hope 10 a
southern citizen of national conservative
sentiments. .
