The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-04-04


tie statement, IL at We have all the time felt
me nIisgiving. about Hayes action. We
hoped he would carry out his promises 70
the letter, but *e feared he would be want
ing in back bone, aud now that a Southern
comm lssion has been organized our hopes
are crushed and our fears confirmed.
Summit Times.l
Conceived in sin and horn IN iniquiiy, the
evil result of such birth Is beginning to
develop it, horrid jeformity under Nr.
Hayes.
Grenada Sentinel.
We care not in what colors Hayes may
array his administration. 1t is certain that
all the tints OF the rainbow cannot conceal
his delormity, nor his haunting virtues
eclipse the ilegitimacy of his origin. He
is not our President; we did not vote for
him. His only shelter il in the Commits
sion. and this body, composed, as il might
have been of purer class of patriots, Is un-
known to the Constitution, and stranger
to The practice of making Presidents for
one century at least, in the history OF our
government.

..The time Tor holding the primary meet

Mr. Hayes knows he has no party South
aad , prospect OF any as long as we stand
united. lie proposes TO buy party by
throwing out Il few bones TO the pace OF
hungry Southern ofiice-soekers, and occa
| sionalIy Il lat office here and there through
out the South, hoping thus to create d.
| vision in our ranks and a diversion in his
| favor. Can we have any confidence i'm a
| man that would steal "A seat into the Pres
/ fdtnJiaI CHAIR or permit himself TO be
counted in BY fraudE
Water Valley Courier.l
1t may be true that the so called "South-
ern policy Of Hayes was intended TO di-
vide the people OF the South, and possibly
may have resulted in calling on after it
some of The weaA er elements ef our people,
yet the whole hing has ard must fail, for
the backbonc of the thing is already gone.
Copialen
Old Copiah-glorious old Copiah-
brought on the canvass in 1879, which re-
! suited ia the overthrow of Ames and his
| thieves. M,Il do we remember seeing Ben
/ King, and other true men OF the county at
work with their coats OF, sleeves rolled up,
and working only as Copiahlus can WORT,
! in our county nominating convention. The
result OF their lltors is known.

| W. Believe that Mr.. Hayes occupies his
seat by fraud, the most glaring that was
ever pracgiced in Il civilized country, that
| lie i, knowingly, usurping the rights Of an
! other, aud ne confidence can be placed in
amy professions he makes,
! Meridian Mercury.l
! Hayes ha, got his Committee 1t is in
! ten,eIy radical, and its com plexion has a
on il, and it is that much better than the
| Louisiana Returning Board. Except the
| Democrat, there i another batch OF visit
Ing state men," aad, We fear, they are go
! ing to Louisiana on too like an errand.
Vicksburg Herald
| There is no doubt in our mind about Fos-
ter, Matthews and others Of Hayes friends
having 10y their words, acts and letters,
caused the opposition to the counting in Of
Hayes 10 cease. Since he has been counted
in there is disposition on the part Of these
mel to deny that there was any agreement.
This is bad faith, to say the least OF it.
