an opcu letter 10 the republicans New Hampshire
In which he makes number of explicit and interest
Ing concerning alleged bargains made dur
lug tho electoral count, and their alleged fu1lment
by tho adoption and pursuance OF the Presidents |
.Soothern poIicy" Alter referring to the declara-
ton OF the Cincinnati Convention and OF Governor
Hayes letter Of acceptance regard to the protec-
ton OF Southern citizens in the FREQ enjoyment
of all their rights Mr. Chandler asserts that
tho republican party, by the advice and pro-
curement Of Governor Hayes mado "the necessity OF
keeping federal power republican hands and using
Il for the protection OF black and whitc southern
pubcans" tho main issue OF tho Presidential cam
paign.
THE BLOODY SHIRT
Ho says .'the bloody Shirt" rs II is termed was
freely waved, and Governor Hayes himself urged
prominent public TO put forward our best ar
gumen; the dangers OF rebel rule and a sod South.
In this connection he quotes several expressions from
Governor Hayes letter OF November =, 1876, when
the latter thought himself defeated, and said:-
II do not care for myself :, but do care for
the poor colorsd men OF the South - Mort ncrn
cannot live there. and will leave :. Tho
Southern people will practically treat tho consttu
tionaI amendments as utilities, and then the coiored
mans tato Will be worse than when he was In
slavery y That is tho only reason that
regret the news Is as It is."
WHY HAYES WAS coUST4D IN
Mr. Chandler then proceeds TO state that Governor
Hayes not only pledged himself to protect TO the ul
extent OF the federal power lite, suffrage
and political rights In the South, but
counted In as President only by reason
OF special pledges given by Senator Sherman
and other Ohio cmssarics who particularly and en-
phaticsliy promised that he would recognize and main
the lawful State governments Of South Carolina
ana louisiana and stand by Governors Chamberlain
nd PM r. m hos atn
ments at considerable length and proceeds to make
charges as follows:.
ALLEGED BARGAIx
Wisdom and honor therefore, II seems to me,
clearly required that President Hayes should main
his rghtfulness OF title stand by the men and
principles Of his party Had he done So In my belief
the democratic cry Of fraud would have been the
merest FOLLY. rho republican party would have
NAMED dominant in everv Northern State una In sew.
eral Southern States and would swept coun-
try In the recent fall elections. Instead OF all
ths, what do w0 seer Almost Shs nrbl
OF the new admin stration was TO fulfil bargain
which, II Mr. Hayes should be President, the lawful
governments OF Louisiana and South Carolina
be abandoned and tho mob governments in those
States recognize aud established. Certain
democrats in the House OF Representatives seeing
that ny the recurring decisions OF tho Electoral Conn
mission and the regular proceedings of the two
houses under the Electoral bill which they had
warmly supported, Mr.. Hayes would surely be Prcsi-
dent, conceived the plan OF saving something from
the wrcck They had therefore threatened by dila-
tory motions and rotous proceedings break up tho
count, thon opened Negotiations with such iimid
and too eagerly cxpecant republicans as they could
Ind ready.
TERMS THE AGREEMENT.
They had succeeded beyond their sangune expccta-
tions. Senator Sherman had visited OHIO ana con-
democratic member aud nephew OF MIR. Stanley Mat
thews, had acted as gobetwoen; ana on the one side
Messrs. Matthews. Charles Foster, John Sherman
and James A. Garfield, and on the other l.. O. G.
Lamar, Jonn b. Gordon, b. J. Ellis Randall GIBSON. Z.
A. Burke and John Young Brown, had agreed
FIrst-rhat The count sh ould not BIO broken up in
tho House, but that Hayes should be declared and
inaugurated President
Second-That upon Hayes accession tho troops
should be withdrawn from protecting Governors
Chamberlain and Packard. ana that the new adminis-
trali0n should recognize the governments OF Wade
Hampton In South Carolina and +. II. Nichols IN
Louisiana. BY certain general and indefinite letters

agreement authenticated, and President Grant

Aftcr Inauguration the bargain was speedily fulfilled
As soon as he electoral votes Of their states were

no occasion, as had been threatened, to make public

THE SOUTHERN POLICY.
