A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Evening
Times, who interviewed President Hayes while
en- route from Marietta to Fremont, Ohio,
asked the President how he came to construct
his policy, which was seemingly so at variance
with his recent views while on the stump in his
last gubernatorial campaign. Did it grow
upon him gradually as circumstances seemed
to require. The President replied as follows
''Well those views began to take form in the
words of my letter of acceptance. consid-
cred the situation of things in the South saw
how impossible it seemed to restore order, and
peace, and harmony saw the violence and
bloodshed at their elections how white Repub-
icans as well as black were shot down during
their political contests, and I asked myself,
Why is it, and how long must this continue
Those men down South. the white, educated
citizens, are as good men as you or [. They
are Christians, not thieves, nor cut-throats,
nor bandits yet they see these things, and
approve them, if they do not take part in
them. Why is it, and how long will they con-
tinue? While thinking these questions over,
nv mind reverted to the scene of the war, and
the incident at the battle of Cedar Mountain
came to mind. It was a hard-fought engage
ment, and for a time we could not tell how
it would end. We who were in command
had determined that if certain movement
resulted in one way we would give certain
orders, but, if it resulted otherwise, differ
ent orders would be given. With our
| field-g glasses we were watching the course of
things ALI at once saw a commotion in the
thickest of the fray. The artillery had got to
work, and were throwing shells fast and with
unerring aim into the solid ranks of the enemy.
Heads were being blown from their bodies,
arms and legs torn from their sockets, and
souls sent to one world or the other UMPIRE
fellow-offcers that we were victorious. How
could this be? Why was it? 1t was because
we were at war. That one word solved in my
mind the problem of the South. The people
there were at war. There was conflict going
ON. The social and political relations of the
| people we're not natural, not harmonious. There
were disturbing elements among them, and
while they existed or were unduly active there
would be conflict. Let the causes of the con-
iict be removed and there will be peace and
ultimately harmony and prosperity. y
"But, F" said the reporter, "we do not see much
| disposition in the South to manifest loving
temper toward us in the North" The Presi-
dent mildly retorted: Chow do you know
You form your opinions, no doubt, from read
ing the papers, but editors of newspapers do
not always express the popular general feeling
of the people, either North or South. I think
most of the people in the South, as know they
are in the North, are more disposed to encour-
age fraternal, harmonious, social and business
relations than the extremists, who, unfortu-
nately, too often get control of newspapers, but
even these, or most of them, will come around
all right in time"
