Washington special to the Pittsburg Post
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The recent events
at Philadelphia, in connection with the cold
and naughty reception of Hayes by the re-
publican leaders and the enthusiastic and
glowing "send-off'' to Grant last Thursday,
are exciting great deal of COM
ment here as political indications
of prime importance. This is particularly
the case that the private history of both
the affairs has leaked out. 1t is fact now
known of men that the snubbing of Hayes
in republican Philadelphia was manufac
tured TO order by republican politicians,
and also that the enthusiasm for Grant,
which spent its force in the champaign ex-
cursOn TO see 1.-The old man" off, and was
signalized by speeches from Chandler and
Cameron nominating him as presidential
candidate for 1880, was also clear case of
careful and deliberate pre-arrangement.
The GOODNESS and discourtesy of
Hayes's treatment in Philadelphia
was not mentioned by the republican pa
pers of that city, or any others, for that
matter, for shame's' sake. All the petty
politicians and officehoiders were in the
plot. They were instructed by central
authority to repress all demonstrations,
and this was so faithfully carried out that
Hayes rode in his carriage from the Con-
tinental hotel to the Exposition grounds,
without hand being raised in honor or
applause. Wherever he appeared in pub
lie there was the chillIness of a studied and
repressive courtesy. These sharp ward man
ayers who take their orders from Mackey
Stokley, Kemble and the ring did their
work we'll. They infected the republican
community with their views that Hayes was
to get the cold shoulder from Philadelphia
because of his going back on the party and
his ingratitude to Cameron.
THAT FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR CHECK.
"Why," said a local leader who is now
here, II saw with my own eyes Don Gamer
on draw his personal check for S., 900 to help
the republicans in Ohio tide over the c:isis
of their fate at the state election last Octo-
Der, and all the thanks he got for it was to
be turned out of the cabinet to give place to
id rebel colonel from Tennessee, who
voted for Tilden, and that squawking Dutch
man, Carl Schurz. l tell you Pennsylvania
republicans won't stand this sort of work,
and they told Hayes so very plainly when
he went over there to open the exposition"
This Disguised individual hit the secret of
Hayess icy reception.
HOW GRANT WAS DEIFIED.
But to make the snub unmistakable the
politicians caught upon the idea of lioniz
ing Grant on his departure for Europe. City
councils, which halted and baked at appro-
priating few hundred dollars to pay for
Hayess carriages and feed at the Cont
mental, appropriated with a hurrah a thou
sand to see Grant off Committees were ap-
pointed, money collected, ard the big men
of the party invited. They secured old
Chandler. Fish, Robson, Cameron and
others. Wherever Grant went he was be ct
by hurrahing crowds; his receptions were
jams. The old man himself was astonished
at the enthusiasm of the people. The crowL-
ing glory was his escort down the Delaware,
Ia inf nf nj m
entail politicians that he was to be put on
the track for the succession. There was not
a word of praise for Hayes, but plainly i'm
piled censure. This whole arrangement
was gotten up by few clever fellows,
headed by Mackey. 1t was intended
to emphasize the snubbing of Hayes.
1t was all manufactured to order. But it is
mistake to suppose the indifference and
disgust Of the leaders at Hayes has not pene-
trated the masses. 1t is working there with
increasing vehsmence every day. For the
most part they honestly believed the south
was hostile and irreconcilable, and Packard
and Chamberlain were well thought Of The
idea that Hayes has fouled his own nest by
recognizing Nichols is one that strikes the
dullest comprehension.
MR. HAYES TO BE TAUGHT LESSON.
But the malcontents do not propose to
confine their efforts to the social snubbing
of Mr.. Hayes. They are determined he
shall feel their political power. The Ohio
regency, headed by Mr.. Hayes, the two
| Shermans, Garfield, Stanley Matthews,
and Charley Foster, is to be shorn of its
| influence, and as a first step the radi
| cal politicians at outs with the admins
tration, and they comprise the working
men of the party who gave 1T success by
their labors and liberality, intenfthat Mr..
| Hayes shall have no republican successes to
boast over this fall, as ''vindications of my
policy" The Blaines, Camerons. Mackeys.
| Wades, Mortons and that class understand if
| the fall elections go republican Hayes will
get the credit. and will be strengthened in
| the party as against them. They don't in.
| tend he shall have any success. Stanley
Matthews is to be slaughtered in Ohio as a
senatorial candidate, and the state allowed
| to go democratic in October There
| will be no five thousand dollar checks from
Don Cameron-you bet. Pennsylvania has
been already given up to the democrats. 1t
| is regarded as certain to vote that way in
| November. To secure the result beyond per-
adventure all the Cameron politicians will
| fold their hands and-go fishing. A dozen
| words skillfully circulated among the wire
pullers who pile up majorities is all that
| will be necessary. There is no legisla-
| ture and no congressman to be elected
this fall so the Winnebagoes can enjoy the
luxury of revenge without hurt to them
selves, and point Mr.. Hayes to the result
/ with an 81 told you so; this comes from de-
serting your party and not recognizing its
leaders" So once again. when rogues fall
out honest men come by their own. There
will be no swindling tins year in Philadel-
phia to overcome the democratic majority
in the rest of the state. X. Y.
