RADICAL ATTACK ON PRESIDENT HAYES


port of the remarkable speech made
by Gen. Sherwood, OK Congressman
from Michigan, at Blissfeld, in that
State on the 4th Of July, has been
received here. The meeting was
understood to be one for Republicans
only, and it was known that tho Pre-
sident's policy was to be discussed.
Gen. Sherwood was not less violent
inehis denunciation of the President
than was Governor Chamberlain at
Woodstock on the same day. He
compared Grant with Hayes in a
manner exceedingly uncomplimen-
sary to the latter. Grant, he said,
would be called to the Presidency in
1880. All of his remarks, but par
ticularly the allusions to Grant, were
received with great applause, and it
was said by many of the prominent
Republicans present that Mr.. Sher-
woods views were the views of nine-
tenths of the party in Michigan
These simultaneous attacks on tho
President in different sections of the
country indicate a concert Of action.
Now that the war on him has been
started among the Radical Republic
cahs,Iit is believed here that it will
increase in volume from now until
the meeting of Congress.
WORKING UP CAMPAIGN.
One of the most active and infu--
ential Of the Pennsylvania Radical
Republicans who was in Washing
eon yesterday said that things would
soon be made very lively for the
President. lie said that his side in
tended to furnish good deal Of fine
campaign material to the Democrats
in the States where elections arc to
come off this fall. Ue said that IL
geographic copies by the ton would
be made of tho letters written by
Gov. Hayes during the last campaign,
including the letters in which he
asked sor money to carry on the
campaign expenses, and also letters
written by him enclosing copies OF
his photograph to people in different
parts of the country. This gontle,
man also said that the Radical Re-
publicans were determined to probe
the Louisiana matter to the bottom,
that they intended to secure copy
OF the agreement made between the
Louisiana Conservatives on one side
and Stanley Matthews and others
acting for President Hayes on the
other side.6ssThip agreement was and
is still sup to be in the possess
sion Of Major Burke, who was here
as the accredited agent of the Nich~
oils government. 1t is different from,
and in addition to the memoranda
of the conference at Wormley's Ho--
tel, between Stanley Matthews, Sen
ator Sherman and other personal
friends of Mr.. Hayes, and Represene
tatives Ellis and Levey, of Louisiana,
and others.
Major Burke, while he was here
and again in New Orleans, was fire.
quently applied to for a copy of this
agreement, but he always positively
refused to say anything on the sub
ject. The Pennsylvania Radicals saw
that they will now make him disclose
what he knows through the medi-
um Of a Congressional committee of
investigation. A resolution, either
intrusting this investigation to the
committee on privileges and elections
or raising q special committee for
that purpose, will be one of the first
things offered in the Senate.
THE IMMUNITY FOR WELLS AND ANDER-
SON.
It is thought by some, that in this
agreement, of which Major Burke is
the custodian, there is some stipula-
tiOn as TO immunity for Wells and
Anderson. The President so late as
yesterday again expressed his opin,
