When he entered the; parlor of. the
Radical chief, the frat object that chal-
lehged his attention was a picture on
the mantlepiece which satisfied him that
he would not fail in fis mission as rep-
resentativeof the cause OF, down-trodden
South Carolina. This was a photographs
of two persons in theattitude Of 'clasping
hands. One was Hayes himself and the
other Colonel Guy NJ. Bryan, of Texas,
who served in the Confederate army, and
is now the Speaker Of the Democratic
House Of Representatives in that State.

swayed by influences, very hostile TO- the
South" These, our informer said, were
his ''eraet,; words" The Governor, con-
tinued: ASome of my happiest days were
spent, with Bryan in Texas, but like q
good Democrat, he.yoted against me-"
Judge Mackey laid the whole case of
Carolina before him, supporting his state
ments with documentary evidence. az,
Governor Hayes expressed hiweelf as
appalled, at the rr1isgovefnment 30 long
ha9faYit and disastrous in South Carolina.
he said: II regard the Presidential con-
test in the form that it has assumed as
most uncertain as to its result. / shall
perform no act to influence that result,
but do say unreservedly that the great
need of the South is good government.
and if I-am President, l shall use all
legitimate agencies to foster the estab-
lishment in that long disturbed section
Of Intelligent aud honest local sclfgov-
efnnient. .,,.,
Governor Hayes is liberal in his polit-
ical views, as shown by the fact that du-
ring bis present term of Office he has ap.
pointed two Democrats out of FIVE Jus.
tices Of the Supreme Court, and one lib
eral Republican who voted against him,
in the State of Ohio. He called attention
to this fact himself, as an indication of
his political animus. The Governor also,
handed Judge Mackey copy Of his mes
sage in 1872, in which be stated that
minority representation on returning
boards was necessary to prevent their
becoming formidable engines to subvcrt
the will Of the people. And in accord
ance with his recommendation, the Ohio
Legislature enacted law which gives to
the minority a representation of three
out of every seven in the returning boards
Of every county in Ohio.
Governor Hayes stated that the letter
of General Hampton "would be hailed as
a messenger Of peace throughout the
North, coming, "a it does, from a sup
porter of Governor Tilden, and Demo-
crat, whose fidelity to his party was above
suspicion. More especially as Hampton
is q representative man of the martial
element of the Southern States, without
whose aid the Democracy Of the North
could make (his exact language) but a
short var" Hayes says, also, "this is
not the first time that I had occasion to
commend General Hampton. On July
5, 1867, in a short speech delivered by
me at Lebanon, Ohio, referred to his
(Hampton's) advanced views in favor OF
granting suffrage to the colored people,
and held him up as splendid example
for the Democracy of Ohio on this sub
ject, as they were then opposing an
amendment of the State constitution con-
ferring the right Of suffrage upon the
negro"
Mr.. Hayes also declared that "the peo-
pie of the Northwest will seek homes in
the genial climate of the South, where
lands are abundant and cheap, whenever
good government, honestly and economi-
cally administered, and which respects
the rights Of all, is established in that
section. They will desire, however, that
they shall receive kind welcome, if
personally worthy, and that no personal
determinations are made against them.
With these conditions complied with
This exact language), the capital of the
North will pour into the Southern States
in golden stream" He said, further,
that the Republicans of the North are
the natural allies of the Southern Demo
Gratis, owning the greater portion of the
property, and controlling the chief en-
terprises of the Northern States, just as
the Democrats in the South chiefly rep
resent its property, intelligence and vir-
tue.
At this point Gov. Hayes also stated
that, I'VE of Ohio have recently sub
scribed twenty millions Of dollars to
build tn. Cincinnati and Great Southern
Air Line Railroad to Atlanta, Georgia,
via Chattanooga. This alone gives us
an immenss financial interest in the pros /
perity of Georgia, South Carolina and
their sister Southern States. For if their
property sink under bad government, it
reacts directly upon uss." p;
In conclusion, Judge Mackey said /: ::r
II am satisfiedthat Hayes will be de-
clared President, ,and that one of his first
acts will be to recognize the government
of Hampton in South Carolina and
Nichols in Louisiana. I regard his ut.
terances to me as meaning this. But
recognition or no recognition, we shall
sustain Governor Hampton to the bitter
end. invoking the Constitution of the
