We predict that the Southern mem
beTs OF Congress will allow no partisan
fAstidi01sness or prejudice TO prevent
them from approving all the measures
OF Mr.. Hayes that are fair and tend to
relieve tie South from oppression and
the country from the dangerous exam

President Hayes Gan make friends
and supporters Of all the. white voters
Of the South, II he will strike the chains
from South Carolina and Louisiana, and
recognize every Southern State as free

Union |. but unless he does this, his only
recruits from Southern ranks will be
deserters. who will tread the path and
share the fate Of Longstrset.

II am determined TO be smiably stub
born" was what Hr. Hayes said TO
MIR. Verree, OF Baltimore. La the days
when he was only the ''favorite sonny"
it was objected to him that ne didn't
have enough hell In him. Perhaps the

TT Mr.. Hayes deserves any help. the
assistance which is extended TO him In
his fight with the more radical elements
